The Pacific is a World War II television drama mini-series, produced by HBO, which is currently in development. It may be similar, although unrelated, to Band of Brothers. Whereas Band of Brothers focused on United States Army's involvement in the European Theater of Operations, the new series will be about the United States Marine Corps's actions in the Pacific Theater of Operations.

The Pacific is being spearheaded by Bruce McKenna (co-executive producer), who was one of the main writers on Band of Brothers. Hugh Ambrose, the son of Band of Brothers author Stephen Ambrose, will serve as a project consultant.

If this is anything like Band of Brothers, it should be excellent.

Indeed. It was filmed in Australia and I suspect most of the extras are Australian.

Go do yourself a favor and pick up a copy (library or store) of Eugene Sledge's With the Old Breed, which part of this miniseries is based upon.

A very dirty and real re-telling of the hard-fought battles of the Pacific, from Peleliu to Guadacanal to Okinawa, from the perspective of literally a "man in the thick of it".

Given the $150 million they spent, I just hope they don't shy away from capturing that gritty, horrific feeling that was experienced by all the soldiers in the hot jungles and hardened coral rocks of the Pacific.

I'm very excited to see this as this was the theater in which my grandfather saw action, just wish he was still around to watch it with.

Same here.

Although I did get to watch Band of Brothers with my maternal grandfather who was in the european front.

Although he ripped apart the incorrect equipment & uniforms. I learned a lot from that guy images/smilies/smile.gif
