Trailer for 'The Pacific'
For anyone who wants to watch it, there is now an official trailer for the new Tom Hanks mini series The Pacific. It's due to be released early 2010 and looks every bit as good as band of brothers.
The 10 part mini series follows 3 US marines through the pacific campaign.

Yep from the look of the trailer I dont want to miss the first episode.
Its taken its time getting here!
Oh no, Band of Brothers catapulted me into three years of frenzied 20mm WW2 buying and painting for NW Europe. I've been tempted with 28mm far east, this might just do it.
I'd love to see one of these done following the exploits of a British unit through the desert war and beyond.
Yep, would like to see one of these done for the Brits, Blitzkrieg, the return to NW Europe, Far and Middle East, as it is, years from now, aliens/historians will think the Yanks did everything!
I re-watched Band of Brothers last week and thought it's a shame that no one's likely to do a British version; the Desert Rats would be a good choice.

Actually, if I remember correctly that sort of is the British version. Many, perhaps most, of the actors portraying American soldiers were British nationals; for instance Dexter Fletcher.
But Cornet, that only shows that Brits make better actors (I mean, how often do you see American actors trying to portray non-Americans)....
:lol:
Evidentially, you've never seen Mel Gibson's "Hamlet."

Note: Yes, I know he's arguably an Aussie.
James Masters had everybody bluffed when he played Spike in Buffy The Vampire Slayer : most people believed he actually was a Brit. Gwyneth Paltrow is notoriously good at British accents (she's half-British though, I think ) and so is Robert Downey Jr.

Ah, you mean Valkyrie, that well-known documentary film which at long last proves that all high ranking nazis graduated from Oxford and Eton ? :devil:
