I Loved the 1950s film version when I was a kid. It freaked the crap out of me. I also reckon jeff waynes musical version is teh funky shit! & Orson Wells was a tripper: martians coming to earth & distroying civilization in their tripods that fire heat rays is teh coolest.

& now Paramount studios are creating a new version. I only just watched the add for it online the other day & got really excited over it. Speiberg is helming it & it has a mega budget. This is like a dream come true. & with todays special-effects technology they could make this a truely kickass experience.

I mean come on: A battleship verses a martian tripod = kickass!



distruction!





Anyone else like this as a kid or think this is teh great3st?

is the new version going to take place in modern times or are they keeping it 1950s?

I'm afraid Spierberg will show many modifications in this film. I think I won't be seeing this one as I hold the original story very dear to me since it was a good teacher from HS who game me the novel months before she passed away.

the visiual effects are gonna be sick

I meant to type Spielberg.

But if he can change stories, why can't I change his last name?

I love The War of the worlds too, but I've never seen the original movie I don't think, radio version only.

The new one looks to be modern times, and also (from what I've seen, and I hope I'm wrong) has few similarities with the actual story

I just hope they don't ruin it like Disney ruined Around The World In Eighty Days

The 1950' classic was awesome, scared me to death as a kid hehe. If Spielberg and Cruise cock this up, they can kiss my phat yellow writing.
