ORIGINAL: Big B Anyway, as for "The Pacific" From the website - some info on the series: http://www.the-pacific-war.com/ quote:
What is the new series about? The project is going to be spearheaded by Bruce McKenna who was also one of the main writers on BOB1. The name will also NOT be Band of Brothers. It will be simply called THE PACIFIC WAR (or THE PACIFIC) and will not be associated with any of the characters from BOB1. It is rumored that the series will follow a USO troupe who travel the Pacific trying to keep Allied soldiers entertained and morally up beat about the war. By doing this, the writers will be able to interwine through various soldiers and civilians who are caught in the conflict. We'll see the stories of cooks, nurses, pilots, infantry, and many others. Their are rumors that the characters will be much more diverse than before, and therefore we'll probably see main characters that are Latino, Irish, British, African American, etc. What battles/campaigns will be featured? * Episode 1: Pearl Harbor - late May 1942 * Episode 2: Midway * Episode 3: Guadalcanal * Episode 4: Guadalcanal * Episode 5: ? * Episode 6: ? * Episode 7: ? * Episode 8: ? * Episode 9: Hiroshima? Also, somewhere in there HBO will also feature Tarawa, Iwo Jima, Okinawa. Nine episodes of gut-wrenching combat. Has anyone noted that the latest news on this site is dated Mar 30, 2005!!! Do we have a time warp here or an effective news blackout?? At least the message board appears to be active and contains some info......
