Posted by admin On April - 15 - 2010ADD COMMENTS

Back in 2001, HBO presented us with Band Of Brothers – the most riveting World War II saga ever to grace the small screen. they look set to surpass it with The Pacific, a colossal ten-part epic giving a troops-eye view of the American response to Pearl Harbor.

Produced by Saving Private Ryan duo Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, it promises to be an unflinching and authentic account of the war in the Pacific, whilst delivering more action, drama and sheer spectacle than any other television event of 2010… or any other year.

Watch the trailer below and you’ll see what we mean. You might even be as excited as we are…

Because when it comes to the UK, t’s coming exclusively to Sky Movies in glorious HD.
