The Pacific

Has anyone heard about this mini series/film yet? It is supposed to be just like Band of Brothers (quality wise) but about the Pacific front during WWII. I read about it about a year ago on the History Channel forums and the link that had been posted there was dead. I went to IMDB and searched around (because the person didn’t have the name of the movie just right) and I found it, but at the time the IMDB profile was basicially blank. I checked on it again the other day and it seems to be filled out with actors and crew now and has a tentative release year at least. LOL.

"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."

and here is the fansite for it, their forum area has a lot of pics from the sets.

I don’t know anything really about the authenticity of weapons and such, and entertainment is entertainment to me, but it looks like it’s going to be pretty good.
