Steven Spielberg’s latest project, “The Pacific” which is bound for HBO, is set to start filming in August. The new mini-series is a companion piece to “Band of Brothers”. Tom Hanks joins Spielberg as executive producer for the project. The World War II epic will air on HBO in 2009.

Filming will be done for the ten show Epic in Melbourne, Australia, a location were many United States soldiers stopped before heading to the Pacific Islands to do battle. The show is bringing in a big boon for the economy of Melbourne with estimates saying it will bring in $150 Million dollars to the economy.
