Sir Peter Jackson is set to make a World War I documentary.
Jackson is best known for directing the 'The Lord of the Rings' movies.
He's going behind the camera again for a new BBC documentary about the war.
Jackson said "I wanted to find a way to bring new life to the stories of ordinary people living through extraordinary times."
For the film Jackson has restored archive film from the Imperial War Museum using cutting-edge digital technology and hand coloring.
The documentary will air on BBC One following a UK wide premiere as part of the BFI London Film Festival in 2018.
