I'm more interested in The Pacific, which is the companion to Band of Brothers.  The budget for that is supposed to be more than $150M, and it's set to premiere in March.  One of the books it's based on, "With the Old Breed", is quite good.  It should give Band of Brothers a run for the money, although I think they'll be fairly different as the source material, and the war in the pacific itself, was grittier than Band of Brothers.
