Some new info (maybe) on "The Pacific"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pacific_%28miniseries%29
| Quote: | The Pacific is a World War II television drama mini-series, produced by HBO, which is currently in development. It is the successor to Band of Brothers. Whereas Band of Brothers focused on United States involvement in the European Theater of Operations, the new series will be about the Pacific Theater of Operations. The Pacific will not be associated with any of the characters from Band of Brothers and is to be based primarily on two memoirs by U.S. Marines: With the Old Breed by Eugene Sledge and Helmet for My Pillow by Robert Leckie.[1] The series will tell the stories of the two authors and celebrated Marine John Basilone, as the war against the Empire of Japan rages.
The Pacific is being spearheaded by Bruce McKenna, 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. [1]
[edit] Production
Production of the series is expected to commence in August 2007, in Australia. Filming locations will include Mossman, Queensland, Melbourne and rural Victoria.[2] The series has a budget of more than $150 million and the 10-part series is the most expensive ever made in Australia. While the producers – HBO, Playtone and Dreamworks – have not made an official comment about The Pacific, they have set up a production office in Melbourne and commenced casting. The Seven Network will also help out with the production.[3]
[edit] Storyline
Given the literary sources mentioned above, the series will probably feature well-known battles involving Marine infantry, such as Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Peleliu, Iwo Jima and Okinawa.
