    Excellente

    If it's anywhere near as good as Band of Brothers, it'll still be a must see

    Been following this for about a year, with the band of brothers team and that budget should be epic

    Re: Hanks & Spielberg make new WW2 series: The Pacific

    Should be excellent if it's anything like BoB.

    Another for fans of this kind of thing, Generation Kill; came out last year. Absolutely brilliant.

    Re: Hanks & Spielberg make new WW2 series: The Pacific

    As much as I'm looking forwards to seeing this, I'm a bit miffed that it'll be premiered on Sky Movies. Looks like they're going to milk it for all it's worth, squeezing customers for 3 months of premium subs; 10 episodes, 1 per week - as they did with that Star Wars thingy.

    Guess I'll be waiting until it's out on disc.
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    Providing you pay the extra for the Movie subs then that'll cover it. If you want it in HD then you'll also need to stump up £10/mth on top of that for the HD sub.

    Re: Hanks & Spielberg make new WW2 series: The Pacific

    If it's only just being shown in the spring, maybe an autumn release on disc. Sky would have paid good money for the premiere rights, and like I said, they'll have done so to milk it. Doesn't matter, I'm happy to wait
