Link: HBO developing a third WWII miniseries with Tom Hanks & Steven Spielberg
HBO confirmed Friday (1/18/2013) that it is developing a third World War II miniseries from Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg.
Joining an oeuvre that already includes 2001's Band of Brothers and 2010's The Pacific, the untitled miniseries will explore the aerial wars through the eyes of enlisted men of the Eighth Air Force -- known as the men of the Mighty Eighth. The project will use as its source material historian Donald L. Millers nonfiction tome Masters of the Air: Americas Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany.
Spielberg, Hanks and Gary Goetzman again will serve as executive producers via Hanks and Goetzmans Playtone and Spielbergs Amblin Television. HBO executives have been in discussions about a third World War II miniseries for several months. Justified creator Graham Yost, who wrote several episodes of Band of Brothers and The Pacific, recently told The Hollywood Reporter that he was eager to reteam with Hanks and Spielberg on another WWII epic. And now that the source material has been optioned, the project can move into development. Additional source material might be added later.
