Wanna do something fun and get paid for it?

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Steven Spielberg (news), Tom Hanks (news) and Gary Goetzman -- the Emmy-winning creative team behind "Band of Brothers" -- are mounting a new 10-part World War II mini-series centered on battles in the Pacific theater.

DreamWorks confirmed that the project, being referred to as the "Untitled World War II Pacific Theater Project," is in the early stages of development, with a deal being finalized for HBO to serve as a partner in the mini-series.

Whoa

Quote
Screenwriter Bruce McKenna, who penned several installments of the first miniseries and picked up a Writers Guild of America Award for his work, already has held numerous creative meetings with Spielberg and Goetzman and is expected to become the head writer.

Hmmm...

You know, some day when I get stinking ritch, you can expect a "saving Gefreiter Hoffman"-movie, followed by a 20 part miniseries called "Barbarossa to Berlin" or something...

I was gonna say that, but you think the majority of the american audience would go for a series based on the RAF?

Post by: Steve on July 21, 2003, 04:12:22 PM: Sure Furball. After that historically inaccurate mess that was "Pearl Harbor" we are thirsting for an accurate piece. Why would we care if it was based on the exploits of our beloved English brethren?

Post by: Furball on July 21, 2003, 04:15:22 PM: Cool, wish they would do it then! My POV was just they would like to make as much money as possible from making the series, and i thought that quite a large number of people over there would be put off by the fact that its not America doing the fighting.

Post by: Steve on July 21, 2003, 07:35:00 PM: Furball, think about it.... what was the best part of the movie Pearl Harbor? Hehehe well, it was British.

I remember first seeing in her in "Much Ado About Nothing."
Somewhere between incredibly cute and simply gorgeous.

One of Masterpiece Theater's more popular shows was the series, "Piece of Cake," that was about a RAF squadron during the BoB.

Post by: rpm on July 21, 2003, 09:45:49 PM: I would like to see something on the B-29 crews that were forced to fly over Japan at 5000 Ft so they would get good hit counts. That had to be 10 times worse than what the high alt crews over Europe saw. Just knowing you could be above every Zeke in the sky, but flying below all of them and if u were hit have little or no time to bail must have been maddening. Those guys had guts!
