BOB is a 10 part mini-series produced by HBO in conjunction with Tom Hanks and Stephen Speilberg. Hanks directed episode 5 but doesn't appear in any of them. Speilberg only exec. produced the series.
Total cost=$120 million. They spent $12 million for each episode...which is enormous for a 1 hour episode if you think about it (most 1 hour dramas on TV cost in the neighborhood of $1-$2 million).
It premiered in the US on Sept. 9th. Supposed to be out on DVD this fall.
