Spielberg might ruin Episode III!

I hope this remake turns out to be good, and I hope Spielberg won't ruin the plot by changing the ending, as I heard on IMDB that many would prefer.

I think that there is no reason to worry about this film. ROTS has been in the making/people have been waiting, for almost 30 years. War of the worlds does NOT have the Birth of Darth Vader! The most anticipated moment in the history of cinema!

As preiviously stated, summer has always been the time for blockbuster films. I'm looking forward to War Of The Worlds and Batman Begins as well as ROTS. I don't care about making more money for Lucas, Speilberg or Warner Bros. and I don't care which movie makes more money.

That's the way it should be, well said. 👆

Thanks 🙂

Same, though those were tripoded and heat-beams of death and were immune to atomic bombs... 😛

Since when were WOTW tripods immune to atomic bombs? Atomic bombs didn't even exist when it was written. Heavy artillery could kill them.

But err... yeah, I don't see the big deal here. Matrix coming out before TPM was a far bigger issue and it didn't make much difference. My only worry is that they have messed up the story by putting it in a modern setting- again...

WOTW is being filmed about 30 miles from my house. Its being filmed (atleast part of it) in Lexington VA. How cool is that?

what? did you see the cars and the way the people were dressed? clearly same time period.

Space ; have u ever read H.G. Wells's book ? It was written in the late 19th century

i just saw the trailer for wotw and i think it looks pretty interesting however i dont think it will be anywhere near as good as rots , i dont think george will be to worried , and didnt aotc knock spiderman off #1 when it came out in the us , i didnt here in aus , we never got spiderman till way after aotc

Now, think about that line. WOTW was written in Victorian times.

CARS?

Or perhaps the other clue is the opening line of the trailer that refers to the 21st Century...

Blimey, good example here of the need to engage brain before posting!

rotten mood? 😕

Must have been a different "aliens attacking the Earth" scenario then... *scratches head*

Most likely the 50's film or Independance Day, which was based on WOTW (and so makes another modern interpretation not a great idea).

And no, PVS, he's just frustrated that no one bothered using their brain for that...

Yeah they did use atomic bombs in the movie from the 50's (I have it right her on DVD).

But is Independence Day based on WOTW? Are there any other similarities other then aliens invading earth?

Yup- the use of a virus to kill them, which the director called an allegory to the original. He also said he got the nuclear bombs thing from the WOTW original- making the same kind of error! I think that 50's film has coloured a lot of perceptions.

I didn't make the connection between the Bacterias in WOTOW and the Virus in Independence Day, thanks for sorting that out Ush.
