The Pacific

I searched but couldn't find anything about this so thought I would start a thread.

Basically Spielberg and Hanks have teamed up again to do Band of Brothers in the Pacific.

The Pacific (miniseries) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:
The Pacific is based primarily on two memoirs of U.S. Marines: With the Old Breed by Eugene Sledge and Helmet for My Pillow by Robert Leckie.[3] The series will tell the stories of the two authors and Marine John Basilone, as the war against the Empire of Japan rages.
Given the literary sources mentioned above, the series will feature well-known battles involving the 1st Marine Division, such as Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester, Peleliu, and Okinawa, as well as Basilone's involvement in the Battle of Iwo Jima.
I personally am looking forward to this the only down side is that it will be on Sky Movies in Spring 2010. I am not a movie subscriber but might just for this, or see if I can get it on Sky Player on xbox or online.
