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.

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.

But Cornet, that only shows that Brits make better actors (I mean, how often do you see American actors trying to portray non-Americans)....

Laugh!

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.

The upcoming sherlock holmes movie looks like a lemon. It's nothing like the books and has tried to be full of cgi action of explosions and fighting to keep people interested(read young and brain dead).

There is a recent italian version of tobruk with the Italians playing British soldiers. I'm not sure if it's available with english subtitles yet.

One thing that has always puzzled me about the American film industry is how a nation of 300+ million people, all of whom claim to be Irish at least one day a year and a few of whom actually are, can't produce a single actor who can sustain a consistent Irish accent for a complete sentence without lapsing into Glaswegian or Somerset. Even the ones who've just got off the boat from Cork seem to have had their accents surgically removed by immigration services.

Yes, Jeremy Brett was the best Holmes for me, too. He seems to have been as dark and troubled in real life as the Holmes of the books was.
