8th Air Force mini-series
I only recently found out (from some January 2013 press releases) about the 8th Air Force mini-series to be (being ?) made for HBO by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. However, I haven't seen any updates about it online, nor any mention of it on this board. Does anyone have any current news about this ?

Re: 8th Air Force mini-series
I heard about this back when that press release came out.
I'm very excited for it...but like you, have not seen any current information about it. |

Its currently in the script writing phase. Donald Miller was at the recent 100th Bomb Group reunion speaking to survivors obtaining further accounts and details from them.

Hate to be a wet blanket, but remember it is being made by Hollywood, so take the series with a grain of salt!

Re: 8th Air Force mini-series
It's also made by the same people that did The Pacific and Band of Brothers IIRC.
So there is hope still yet. |

That sounds like an interesting series. I suppose it would take a little more resources than those other mentioned her. |
