HBO Greenlights
Hanks/Spielberg’s WWII Miniseries THE PACIFIC!!

I am – Hercules!!


HBO has given the go-ahead to “The Pacific” (aka “The Pacific War”), the new World War II miniseries produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. The duo had previously collaborated on “Band of Brothers,” which focused on Easy Company paratroopers in the same war’s European theater.



Based on both "With The Old Breed" by E.B. Sledge and "Helmet For My Pillow" by Robert Leckie, the miniseries will follow two U.S. marines who fought and lived to write books about their experiences.

Read the report in Wednesday morning’s Variety here.
