The script for the film is being written by the respected Barry Navidi, who produced the widely-acclaimed version of The Merchant Of Venice starring Robert de Niro.
Harry Gregg:
"The only people who know what went on inside that plane in the seconds leading up to the crash are the ones who survived it," said the former Reds goalkeeper. "So to portray an accurate account of what occurred, the producers of the film would have to ask survivors such as myself, Sir Bobby Charlton, Bill Foulkes, Albert Scanlon and Kenny Morgans.
"And to the best of my knowledge, none of us have been contacted.
"How can you present a true picture of what happened at Munich Airport that day without talking to the people who lived through it? The answer is, you can't.
"And for that reason alone, I don't want this film to be made without the blessing and the co-operation of those who survived.
"I am sure all of us who were lucky enough to survive the crash have the right to know how we are going to be depicted in the film. Even more important is what the film might say about our team-mates who died that day. They left behind wives and children who are still alive, and the people over in Hollywood need to take their feelings into consideration before making a film like this.
"I would want to see the film before it goes out on general release to make sure it does not harm the memories of those who died that day, but whether it would be too late by that stage to correct any inaccuracies is difficult to say.
"The sensible thing would have been for the film's producers to contact the survivors before starting the project to make sure they've got the facts right, but this they have failed to do.
"In the last 30-odd years, there have been any number of attempts at making a film about the Munich disaster, and they have all ended up in the bin.
"I hope this new attempt meets the same fate, because, without talking to the survivors, it cannot possibly be accurate."
Bill Foulkes:
"I would have no objection to a film being made about Munich if it was done with sensitivity, and gave a true and accurate account of what happened that day.
"People of a certain age, and those who lived through it, will remember what took place until their dying day. But we forget how long ago it was. So - perhaps for the younger generation - Munich is only a place. A word they've heard which they associate with an awful event.
"If the film was made properly and was respectful to those who perished, it could be a tribute to the Busby Babes which could be seen for generations to come. And those great players who died that day deserve to be remembered."
