There were rumours that they were going to use footage not used in Flags of our Fathers. Any thruth in that?

I cringed the moment I heard the words, "Steven Spielberg's."

Thanks for sharing.

For the record, if there's one thing that Spielberg can do it's push money around. And that's what he's done here. He's a producer, not a director on this project.

Yeah like sikboy said, Spielberg has the same role in this that he had in Band of Brothers, him & Tom Hanks are just producing it.

There are several different directors for this, you can see the info here.

Was just reading an interview with Hanks, he said it's coming out in March 2010, so almost another year until it comes out.

The only Steven Spielberg films I've seen were his Jurassic Park series and one more film I can't recall. In my opinion, all of them lacked in appeal.

I might watch the film, however past experiences of the director's work is pushing me away.

This is a subjective thing, but IMO Spielberg is the Beatles of contemporary cinema.  Whatever you can think of to do he's done it already but better.  Director, producer, whatever.  If he's not directing it he's funding and producing so the "appeal" gets made.  Some of his highlights:

ET - "ET phone home!"
All Indiana Jones - "I hate snakes!"  "Doctor Jones! Doctor Jones!"
Back To The Future - McFlyyyyy!! Anybody home????
Jurrasic Park - CGI has arrived!
Jaws - Dun    dun    dun    dun dun dun dun dun ahhhhh!!!!!
Close and Counters - Famous musical melody
The Goonies - If you grew up in the 80s you've seen this at least 10 times
Men In Black - Nothing specific I can think of, but a huge cultural hit
Shrek - single most successful cartoon of all time
Schindler's List - Destruction to classical piano music!
Poltergeist - "They're heeeyerrrr"
Saving Private Ryan - "Earn this..." followed by grown men weeping like little girls in movie theaters across the world

Personally, the first 30 minutes of Saving Private Ryan is the most compelling, riveting, and anxious I've ever spent in a movie theater.  I had to see it 3 times in the theater just to keep experiencing it.

Take a look at that list.  I'm not sure you can give Spielberg credit for all of those -- most of which were probably the decisions of the directors, composers, or writers.  (Or some combo therein) That being said, I think he'll do a good job as the producer for The Pacific, just as he did with BoB.  I very much look forward to the series.

No, I don't know why it quoted below.  Sorry about that.

Like I said in my post, if he isn't directing it he sees genius and funds it.  On what projects he decides to spend his money and resources speaks just as much volume as his directing.  The man just knows what makes movies successful.

I'm looking forward to The Pacific too weeeee   can't wait.

As far as I'm aware, Mr. Spielberg had nothing to do with the 1964 production of the Battle of Britain. I'm pretty sure you were thinking of some other film. ;)
