HOLY SHIT! After 9 long years of waiting, FINALLY there is news about the Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg mini series about the 8th

I mentioned  in 2015 that there hadn't been news in 4 years,

Originally mentioned to be an HBO series, it is now mentioned as an Apple TV series, and it's based on the 2006 novel by Donald L. Miller "Masters Of The Air" the story of the US Eighth Air Force’s crews, as well as the story from the ground or those being bombed in Britain, Germany and throughout Europe. http://www.warhistoryonline.com/war-articles/new-tv-series-masters-air-tell-story-world-war-two-bombers.html

The TV series, they say, will avoid using composite characters, focusing instead on the real stories of the actual figures who flew with Eighth Air Force, and in particular the "Bloody Hundredth" bomb group, one of the hardest hitting — and hardest hit.

The facebook page about it, https://www.facebook.com/Masters-of-the-Air-142322062593374/ hasn't been added to since 2013

The project is a companion piece to their previous WWII-set miniseries, 2001’s Band of Brothers and 2010’s The Pacific, which aired on HBO. Gary Goetzman, their collaborator on both of those series, will also executive produce

John Orloff, a writer on Band of Brothers, will write the new series, and is on board as a co-executive producer

IMDB has NOTHING on this, and a look at the producer page for both Tom Hanks and Spielberg show they are already incredibly busy, but not yet listed with this project.

Real Steel 2, Hugh Jackman sequel, is listed though... so, cool! I liked that movie
