A teaser clip had come out a couple of months ago and I just found this new trailer is available as well. Both are at the linked site. I think it's supposed to air in March 2010. Looking forward to it.

I believe that this movie is based on the book “With the Old Breed at Peleliu and Okinawa” by EB Sledge. It is a great book, drawn from contemporaneous notes by an enlisted Marine. It is better than any war novel I have ever read.

I look forward to this movie.

Why don’t they make a movie about the Revolutionary war? The Green Mountain Boys? Nathan Hale?

It’s what Americans really need to see right now.

I mean an honest movie, not some Howard Zinn socialist revisionist piece of garbage.

Looks very good...

I really, really hope that they dont add too much sissy la la BS and tell the story that EB Sledge wrote.

This will be showing when my son is deployed to Afghanistan with the Corps. It is amazing how there are always brave men willing to sacrifice their lives for our dear country.

I cannot wait. BOB is one of my favorites of all times. Dad was in the 101st (Vietnam and stateside), so we are especially fond of it. Of course, ex was a Marine, so I spent time as a Marine wife, and the Marine Corps hymn brings tears to my eyes every time...

I hate seeing these previews on TV already. They were showing them as early as July I want to say. I’m excited to see this, but it still won’t air for a long time.

Anyone who saw Ken Burn's The War, you will know this story. He was the best friend of a Marine from Alabama that was featured on the Burn's documentary. Although it was prohibited to keep a diary, Sledge wrote on small sheets of paper of what he went through. I will get HBO during this series. It will be well worth it.

Good grief. What’s w/ all the moralizing and scenes of non-combatant namby pamby nonsense? Granted, BofB is a tough yardstick to measure up against, but I hope they don’t totally ruin this.
