Being a keen Band of Brothers fan, owning the box set twice… yes, twice (after it being stolen the first time!), and seeing it almost 6 times. I’d been waiting on the sequel called “The Pacific” to be released, made by the same duo of Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks it’s bound to be good. Today I looked into it a little more and found that a trailer is out for the mini series and expected to be released on HBO in the U.S some time in early 2010.
The Pacific follows three US Marines – Robert Leckie, Eugene Sledge and John Basilone – into combat against the Japanese in 1942, island-hopping across the brutal, blood-saturated battlefields of the Pacific and back home again after VJ Day.
