Thus, the story of both the battle and the crafting of the tapestry is of historical and personal interest.
Location/Setting
Because this movie will emphasize William's invasion, it is important that the movie be filmed in England.

Cast
The two primary characters will be Harold Godwinson, the English heir to the thrown, and William, Duke of Normandy, the invader.

" In England, hundreds of fake tank and truck-shaped balloons simulated non-existent tank battalions to Nazi recognizance flights. As preparations neared combat readiness for Operation Overlord, Allied counterintelligence units even went so far as to float the corpse of a soldier outfitted in a high-ranking uniform and equipped with fabricated plans for an invasion of the Calais, in many way, the most logical invasion point because of its geographical proximity to
Battle of Normandy is deemed one of the most important events to have taken place during the Second World War. The invasion took place in Normandy, between June and August 1944, where soldiers of the Western Allies, including America, Canada, Russia and Britain, were in defense against the Nazi soldiers.

German Preparation for the Invasion of Normandy On June 06, 1944, the biggest combined naval, military and air operation ever contrived took place, code-named Operation Overlord (Commemorative pp).
