Distributed By: HBO
Release Date: March 2010 (estimate)
Synopsis: The Pacific is to be based primarily on two memoirs of U.S. Marines: With the Old Breed by Eugene Sledge and Helmet for My Pillow by Robert Leckie. The series will tell the stories of the two authors and Marine John Basilone, as the war against the Empire of Japan rages. Given the literary sources mentioned above, the series will feature well-known battles involving the 1st Marine Division, such as Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester, Peleliu, and Okinawa, as well as Basilone's involvement in the Battle of Iwo Jima. It may look like Band of Brothers, especially with Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg producing, but this new series is unrelated to the 2001 story.
