New War of the Worlds movie?

I have never read the story, but I think that the movie's fx actually have stood the test of time quite well to have been made in the fifties. However, neither the "League" movie or the "Time Machine" remake, both which are set in the late 19th century, did well at the box office, unless I am mistaken. I like the "League" movie ok, and I like the TimeMachine, but I can only judge by the movies, as I have not read those novels, either. I am always dubious to make movies over that are now considered classics. Planet of the Apes also comes to mind, as it they changed it from the book, too, and it had become a classic, and the remake flopped. 🐰

Well everything has all of a sudden gotten signed on this movie and it's now going to start filming this fall and coming out next summer. The reason, MI:3 got pushed back and Spielberg's Olympic film.

Wow, I hope this movie get's made. I hope they use the old War Of The Worlds music.

Tim Robbins and Miranda Otto are in talks to join Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds, says the Hollywood Reporter.

The project is the big-screen adaptation of H.G. Wells' 1898 classic novel, one of the best-known alien-invasion stories.

Robbins would play astronomer Ogilvy, while Otto would play the wife of the main character, to be played by Tom Cruise. Dakota Fanning is also set to appear as their daughter.

This movie is based on the book named War of the worlds by H.G. Wells, which i have read. One of the greatest books i have ever read, tell me some of you comments you think about this movie, CAN YOU BELIVE THIS IS GOING TO COST A TON OF MONEY, SPIELBERG WILL SPARE NO EXPENCE I GUARENTEE

Let's see....it was reported before released that Waterworld was very costly.....then came Titanic.....and now War of the Worlds......and since is Spielberg directing who knows on the future of this movie.

well the book bored me to sleep (but with ADD and dyslexia im sure u can see why) so i guess if they go all out in this movie it shuold be good

I just don't see the need to remake a classic movie. I've yet to see a remake that didn't suck......

i dont think that was a movie b4, i just think its making a movie by way of book, OK

I'm there, all claims of cinematic granduer simply by way of spenderture aside.

I don't think it's supposed to be the most expensive. In fact, i read somehwere today that the budget is only around $100 mil.

No, they annouced it is going to be the most expensive movie ever.
