New HBO WWII Series Coming

There’s a new show on HBO coming out that looks really good.  There are a lot of factors that will make it worth watching.  Here are just a few: Tom Hanks, WWII based, creators of Band of Brothers, WWII based and that its based on WWII. Did I leave anything out?

The only bad thing is that I don’t have HBO to see it so I will probably have to wait until the damn box set comes out which will probably end up costing more than subscribing to HBO for a few months.  I could be wrong though as I haven’t even begun to look into costs, etc.

At this time, I haven’t found an official air date…just sometime in 2010.

Anyway, check out the trailer below as well as the official website: http://www.hbo.com/events/pacific/

” A 10-part mini-series from the creators of “Band of Brothers” telling the intertwined stories of three Marines during America’s battle with the Japanese in the Pacific during World War II.  ”
