MikeO Posted September 30, 2000 Share Posted September 30, 2000 This photo appeared in a Brit newspaper a few weeks ago. Its a film-set built in Hatfield, Hertfordshire for 'Band of Brothers'. Scenario designers might be interested in layout of the village but just look at those vehicles in the foreground Appear to be a mock-up Stug, Jadgpanther, Shermans and that Tiger again... Apparently Tony Blair pulled a few strings to get his son, Euan, some holiday work as a runner on the set to keep him out of further trouble - nice to have family in high places... Darn it - not allowed to link to photo. Try: http://briefcase.yahoo.com/taisho2002 and look in the photo album [This message has been edited by MikeO (edited 09-29-2000).] [This message has been edited by MikeO (edited 09-29-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hundminen Posted September 30, 2000 Share Posted September 30, 2000 Thanks for the photo MikeO. I am reading Band of Brothers right now. Not a bad book. I really, really enjoyed SPR, in spite of all the inaccuracies - sometimes it pays not to be a grognard . Any word on how this movie will compare?

Mr. T Posted September 30, 2000 Share Posted September 30, 2000 I just read up on it real quick like. What this is, is an HBO miniseries produced by Spielberg and Tom Hanks. It's 8 parts, the fifth of which will be directed by Hanks, but Spielberg had to decline being involved as a director due to other commitments. He and Hanks will both be involved in it's production to an extent however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
