The Pacific (AKA Band of Brother 2)

[Diabolical]

So it ain't really a sequel, but a new mini-series by many of the same creators.
This one focuses on the Pacific Theater (duh).

I remember hearing about it quite a while ago, then nothing. After a bit of looking I found it started filming back in August 2007 but won't be released until sometime in 2009.

Yeah, its early to start a thread, but I can't fuckin' wait.

slashfilm has the trailer for The Pacific.

Executive produced by Steven Spielberg and from the creators of “Band of Brothers”, The Pacific is a a 10-part HBO mini-series which tells the intertwined stories of three Marines, Robert Leckie (played by James Badge Dale), Eugene Sledge (Joe Mazzello) and John Basilone (Jon Seda), during America’s battle with the Japanese in the Pacific during World War II.

Produced on a budget of more $150 million, and shot on location in Australia, the series follows (from an early press release) “The extraordinary experiences of these men and their fellow Marines take them from the first clash with the Japanese in the haunted jungles of Guadalcanal, through the impenetrable rain forests of Cape Gloucester, across the blasted coral strongholds of Peleliu, up the black sand terraces of Iwo Jima, through the killing fields of Okinawa, to the triumphant, yet uneasy, return home after V-J Day.”

/Film reader Donovan has sent me a promotional trailer for the miniseries, which has no announced release date but is expected to air in late 2009/early 2010.
