Spielberg/Hanks war mini-series comes to You Yangs
November 10, 2007
WAR has broken out in the You Yangs.
The $180 million epic The Pacific is filming in the mountain range west of Melbourne and aerial photographs of the region indicate the mini-series is making no compromises when it comes to recreating some of World War II's most brutal battles.
The mini-series, a co-production involving Channel 7, US network HBO, Steven Spielberg's DreamWorks and Tom Hanks' Playtone, is the sequel to the war drama Band of Brothers.
Seven is pouring about $6 million into the production, which began shooting in Port Douglas in August.
After the You Yangs, production will move to Melbourne, where US troops camped in 1943.
The mini-series tells the story of America's war with the Japanese. The You Yangs are being used to replicate locations including Peleliu, Iwo Jima and Okinawa.
Bomb craters, burnt-out buildings and a downed war plane have been created in the You Yangs to give authenticity.
