HBO’s begun running an awesome new trailer for The Pacific, the Band of Brothers conceptual follow-up from Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg centered on the campaign against the Japanese. Joseph Mazzello (Tim from Jurassic Park) seems to have the main role, or at least what might end up analogous to Damian Lewis’s Dick Winters in Band of Brothers. Counter to that other series, it looks like we’ll see more of the domestic action, although it’s unclear whether that might just be for the first episode or two, at the end or somehow interspersed throughout the full ten episodes.
Unfortunately it seems the airing of this has been pushed into 2010, perhaps March according to some comments by Tom Hanks. It’s certain to be worth the wait though.
