Steven Spielberg, Executive Producer of The Pacific, was recently interviewed and discussed the mini-series with film blog website, The Collider.com. When asked about how long it took him to help get Pacific developed, he said the following:
“I would say years. Longer than I actually remember. It was inevitable that we would do The Pacific with HBO because there was such an overwhelming response, not only from the general public that got very involved in Band of Brothers, but we got so much positive mail. At the same time, that mail said, “I was a veteran of the Solomons.” “I fought on Tarawa.” “I was at Midway.” We got so many letters of veterans from the Pacific Theater of Operations, asking us if we could acquit their stories the way we acquitted the stories of the European Theater of Operations.”
Futhermore, when asked about any future plans to develop WWII films, he hinted:
“There are many more stories to tell, and we’re going to tell them.”
What will these films be? Midway? 8th Air Force? German/Russian Theater of War?
