You'll love this - it's a true story once again, set amongst the horrific battles of the Pacific.

Check out the trailer - admittedly it isn't the 'official' trailer but it's good none the less.

Drool..... Can't wait!

I dont think that trailer does much for it. Its going to have to be damn good to come up against BoB.

aayzof · 26 Jan 2009 at 14:10

looks good.

suarve · 26 Jan 2009 at 14:12

Looks good, but will have to something special to top the epic band of brothers.

NathanE · 26 Jan 2009 at 14:12

WOW! Where did this come from!? Looks great

A "sequel series" to Band of Brothers

philstanbridge · 26 Jan 2009 at 14:13

Don't forget the trailer isn't 'official'. If you follow some of the links on that site it leads you to a wealth of photos from the various sets. It's a huge production by the looks of things.

From what I know of the story the setup is different and I just can't see it being as good as BoB.

gillywibble · 26 Jan 2009 at 14:16

Thanks for the heads up

Glaucus · 26 Jan 2009 at 14:16

Looks good any idea on dvd release date. As I'm assuming it won't be released on english tv. unless bbc buy the rights?

philstanbridge · 26 Jan 2009 at 14:19

I think the beauty within BOB is the fact that it has some instantly recognisable names. It looks as if he's gone for a much younger cast of unknowns in this - well unknown to me anyway. But don't write it off just yet!

I'll watch out for it but I can't see anything surpassing BoB.

HBO just did Generation Kill - 7 Eps of the invasion of Iraq told through the eyes of a reporter with the Marines, not trying to be as good or anything like bob but well worth a watch.
