With Steven Spielberg producing and the "Million Dollar Baby" team of director Clint Eastwood and writer Paul Haggis linking up once again, you just know that "Flags of Our Fathers" is going to be something special. While taking a break from the film's production, star Paul Walker offered a rare peek at the story of the six brave men who raised the flag at the World War II Battle of Iwo Jima: "I play this guy, Hank Hansen ... he was a platoon guide and was also a sergeant ... a real snazzy guy, dressed real sharp," Walker said. "They had a nickname for him; they called him the Count because everything was so neatly pressed when he'd go to battle. I guess everything was just super tight; he wanted to die in style." Although Walker has been unable thus far to make contact with Hansen's descendents, he hopes they will attend the film's premiere so he can meet them face to face — a thrill he said would be on an equal level with working for the legendary Eastwood. "This is a big movie, [but] it feels like we're working on an independent project," he said. "Not in the sense that things are unorganized — quite the contrary. Things are so together, so tight. You go, 'OK that's what years of experience brings you.' " The drama, which also stars Ryan Phillippe and Jesse Bradford, is due in theaters next year
