Dale Dye on ‘Pacific’

Recently, Dale Dye, the military technical advisor for The Pacific was interviewed by a film news website. In the interview, Dye talked briefly about Pacific and said the following:

That said, it’s very different from “Band”. It’s as different as World War II in the Pacific was from World War II in Europe. It’s much darker and more brutal but that was the nature of fighting on those Pacific islands. Just ask any veteran for confirmation of that. Tom Hanks who is one of our Executive Producers likes to say it will take the audience on a brutal journey to hell and back; the same sort of journey that was experienced by the men who fought the real battles. I think he’s right on the mark with that.
