His black Labrador dog N*gger is present throughout the film ... I did not know that the letter '*' had been added to the English alphabet.
But I suppose if the United States can have 57 states, the alphabet can have 27 letters.
Does anyone what sound(s) are involved in pronouncing this new letter? Is it a vowel, or a consonant? Or, is it, perhaps, another 'sometimes' letter like 'y'?

They shouldn’t call it a remake. This is a film that retells an event. The ‘original’ Dambusters film wasn’t original - it was of course a film of the real-world story.
Another example: ‘Titanic’ wasn’t a remake of the (vastly superior and more historically accurate) ‘A Night to Remember’ but a retelling of the Titanic sinking.
Also: “Pearl Harbor” was not a remake of “Tora Tora Tora”.
The article writer needs to tighten his terms up.

“Maybe they could have renamed the dog, Chigger
Please, please, please watch you language.
They now want to be referred to as “Chigroes”, not Chiggers.

Scenes from the original movie are part of the 'background' soundtrack (and are shown on a TV in one scene) in the movie of Pink Floyd's The Wall.

I wonder how much profanity they'll include for the sake of ‘realism’.

‘Saving Private Ryan’ was a PC remake of history.
This will be a stirring wartime adventure. And in the middle of all the heroism and dam-smashing spectacle, the film-makers will silently insert a renamed dog.

as an Elem. School Spec. Ed. teacher, I sent a kid to the corner for using that word...he is black & I’m white (he was rapping). I told him that too many people fought & died just so his race wouldn’t be called that all the time.

I love the original, a remake will never take its place, and I hate the political correcting, but I’m a special effects nut and look forward to how the dambusting will look.
