[s2dyante1991]

The Pacific is a World War II television drama miniseries, produced by HBO, Seven Network Australia and DreamWorks, which will premiere March 14, 2010.
It is similar, although unrelated, to Band of Brothers. Whereas Band of Brothers focused on the United States Army's involvement in the European Theater of Operations, the new series will be about United States Marine Corps's actions in the Pacific Theater of Operations.
The Pacific is being spearheaded by Bruce McKenna (co-executive producer), who was one of the main writers on Band of Brothers. Hugh Ambrose, the son of Band of Brothers author Stephen Ambrose, will serve as a project consultant.

Storyline
The Pacific is 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.

Joseph Mazzello – Corporal Eugene "Sledgehammer" Sledge
Jon Seda – Gunnery Sergeant John Basilone
James Badge Dale – Private First Class Robert Leckie
William Sadler – Colonel Lewis "Chesty" Puller
Isabel Lucas – Gwen
Cariba Heine – Phyllis
Jacob Pitts – Bill "Hoosier" Smith

Production

The Pacific is being produced by Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and Gary Goetzman in association with HBO Films, Playtone, Dreamworks, and Seven Network. Seven invested in the project for the right to broadcast it in Australia. Nine Network has previously broadcast the HBO productions of The Sopranos and Band of Brothers. Nine had a broadcast deal with HBO's parent Warner Bros., but then HBO started to distribute its own productions separately.
In April 2007 the producers set up a production office in Melbourne and began casting.
Filming of the series in Australia, started August 10, 2007,[9] and finished in late May 2008.
As of April 2009 the score is being finalized and the series is estimated to premiere in March 2010.

Budget
Originally the project was estimated at US$100 million (AUD$120 million) to produce.
The series has a budget of more than US$150 million (AUD$200 million), with an estimated AUD$134 million of that spent in Australia,[11] and is thought to be the most expensive series ever made in Australia. Herald Sun estimates that it brought 4000 jobs and generated AUD$180 million for the Australian economy.
