Australian preview for Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's "The Pacific"

Re: Australian preview for Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's "The Pacif

Wow, cool! I'd forgotten this was coming. Looks like another cast of largely unknowns (other than William Sadler), hope they turn out as well as BoB's bunch.

Damn, but I'm still too cheap to get HBO. I'll wait for the DVDs. Don't tell me who wins! :rommie:
 
Re: Australian preview for Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's "The Pacif

My dad's going to have a coniption. He is a WWII freak and has only seen BoB about twenty times. In fact, it originally aired when I was in the US for the second time in '02 and I caught parts of one episode. When I came home and told him of this he sat me down and asked me to describe exactly what I saw, in detail.
 
Re: Australian preview for Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's "The Pacif

Wow. That kid from Jurassic Park is all grown up.

Hopefully, this will be as good as Band of Brothers.
 
Re: Australian preview for Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's "The Pacif

Oh I'm reeeeeeeeaaaaaallllly looking forward to this! Can't wait to see it! :D
 
Re: Australian preview for Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's "The Pacif

I can't wait. Hopefully they'll put out the DVDs right after they air it, since I don't get HBO.
 
Re: Australian preview for Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's "The Pacif

Bob was really good and all (Saving PVT Ryan even better), but frankly, I'm a little tired of WWII stuff. :(
 
Re: Australian preview for Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's "The Pacif

Sweet merciful jesus, I can't wait.
 
Re: Australian preview for Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's "The Pacif

This is going to kick ass. Almost makes me wish I still had HBO.
 
Re: Australian preview for Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's "The Pacif

I'll watch it for sure.

If I remember right Band of Brothers had a budget of around 120 million, does anyone know what the budget for this new series is? Looks expensive from the trailer, but those can be misleading.
 
Re: Australian preview for Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's "The Pacif

I didnt even know this was in procution yet alone close to being releaed *adds to must watch list*
 
Re: Australian preview for Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's "The Pacif

they HAVE to tell the tale of the marine who, while taking a browning M1919 around to flank, got caught in an ambush of 3 MG positions, and held out the night (and took out 2 of the 3 nests) by picking up that MG and firing it in his hands
 
Re: Australian preview for Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's "The Pacif

^ What he said.
 
Re: Australian preview for Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's "The Pacif

If at some point Jimmy Fallon drives up in a jeep for a cameo, I'm changing the channel.

Also, if Dale Dye has any on screen role. Changing the channel. Had enough of that military advisor who turned himself into a non-character actor. I CAN PLAY A GRUFF OFFICER. Yeah, yeah, we know...now go back to putting Hollywood pukes through a pseudo-boot camp.

If David Schwimmer appears...*click*
 
Re: Australian preview for Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's "The Pacif

About time too:)

I hope the Beeb (or someone at least) grab it for the UK:).
 
Re: Australian preview for Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's "The Pacif

I'd put my money on Virgin 1. They need something other than star trek and Terminator to fill out their schedule. Either way, as I have cancelled my Sky subscription I'll be happy so long as it's on Freeview.

How about R. Lee Ermy? :D
 
Re: Australian preview for Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's "The Pacif

The preview is gone :( Can't find it on Youtube either...
 
Re: Australian preview for Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's "The Pacif

Due to a request by the Seven Network, the promo showcasing what will be on offer for 2009 has been removed along with another post talking about the HBO series The Pacific. Also HBO has requested the same promos be removed from You Tube which has been done. Sorry for the inconvenience.

:(
