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. bunny

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.

WAR OF THE WORLDS, supposed to be the most expensive movie in history of movies WOWZA

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

2002 "Ocean's Eleven" was a box office smash, and has plenty of fanfare.

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.
