Crab Lungs Posted 30 October, 2009 Posted 30 October, 2009 It's been a long time coming, but for those of you who were mesmerised by Band Of Brothers (quite possibly my favourite show of all time!), "The Pacific" is on it's way to our screens soon... http://www.hbo.com/events/pacific/video.html Looks impressive... Cannot help but by overwhelmingly humbled and gracious after watching these programmes. :-o
RedAndWhite91 Posted 30 October, 2009 Posted 30 October, 2009 Band of Brothers was absolutely terrific, is this going to be fairly similar then?
saint_stevo Posted 30 October, 2009 Posted 30 October, 2009 When? bought the BoB boxset for £10 recently and re-oved it all over again!
Sheaf Saint Posted 30 October, 2009 Posted 30 October, 2009 Oooooh, I've been looking forward to this for ages. BoB was quite posibly the greatest TV show ever made and I never tire of watching the DVDs. Any idea when this is going to be shown here in Blighty?
Crab Lungs Posted 30 October, 2009 Author Posted 30 October, 2009 According to this, Spring 2010 and will be shown at the same time it is released in North America. http://www.thecinemapost.com/2009/05/22/sky-tv-purchases-the-pacific-for-the-uk-in-spring-2010/ Only issue is that it will be aired on Sky Movies ... Grrrrr...... Incredible price for BoB, a tenner :-o
Smirking_Saint Posted 30 October, 2009 Posted 30 October, 2009 Nice..... BoB was epic. Hopefully this will be too
Nexstar Posted 30 October, 2009 Posted 30 October, 2009 Looks very good, I think it's due to be out in March 2010.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 30 October, 2009 Posted 30 October, 2009 Dam it, I'm going to have to upgrade my Sky subscription by the looks of things!
SuperMikey Posted 30 October, 2009 Posted 30 October, 2009 BoB was the best TV show ever, hands down. No questions asked. Hopefully The Pacific will be good as well, it certainly looks promising. What I liked most about BoB was the interviews that they cut in with the real soldiers in the episodes, which gave the shows a real feel of history, and set it apart from other WWII series'. I also liked the fact that when I watch it back now, I can see so much more than I would've done the first time I watched, it was a very well layered creation. I have the utmost faith in Spielberg et al to do this well, and I say roll on March 2010!
Doctoroncall Posted 30 October, 2009 Posted 30 October, 2009 BoB always brought a lump in my throat. A great series telling a story of extra-ordinary men. Having no Sky is a bummer, I'll have to watch out for any torrents or watch it on HBO website.
