From the Article:

At long last, here's the trailer for HBO's "The Pacific," the long-awaited follow-up to Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's beloved WWII war epic "Band of Brothers."


"The Pacific" has reportedly a budget around $200 million which, if correct, would almost certainly make it the most expensive TV project of all time. The new mini has quite a legacy to live up to when it debuts next year. Though its initial post-9/11 run on HBO was relatively lackluster, "Band of Brothers" kept gathering fans as the years passed. Runs on basic cable networks such as History Channel followed. The DVD set for "Brothers" still manages to float into the top ranks of Amazon's best-selling DVDs (and is currently selling great in Blu-ray).

I encourage people who have not watched (Or read) Band of Brother to do so, one of the best World War 2 series to ever come out.

Due to my need for instant gratification, I will now have to forget about this because I can't wait!

I hope they've found themselves some interesting characters. I personally have a huge hardon for competent authority figures and Winters made band of brothers for me almost all on his own.
