I love alien invasion flicks. I haven't seen the original so I will do that right away in anticipation of this.

I did however read that in the original, the invaders were from Mars, correct? Well...that idea is a little dated, since there isn't any intelligent life on mars. There may be life, but it's not advanced enough to build interstellar space ships and the like.

Also, can someone tell me in the original, why did the martians invade? Fore resources, or something else? This always bugs me in movies. Our planet is so small and insignificant, and there are so many other planets out there that have resources like ours that invading earth for our resources just doesn't cut it for me. Anyway, i'll just have to put that aside if that is the case and enjoy the movie.

Resources, I think.

I haven't seen the original in a while though.

Isnt the movie a book written by H.G. Wells?

Where have you been? Hollywood hasn't made a movie that wasn't ripped for a foriegn film or any previously made movie in over 10 years.

Read the book, seen the movie many times, seen every episode of the series on Sci-Fi back in the early 90's. Definitely looking foreword to Spielberg's version.

i believe in the original and in H.G. Wells book there is a short narative stating that there was no reason other than hatred. hatred towards what , i don't know. maybe just a hatred of something else (why should humans be the only idiots who hate things for no apparent reason ?)

Orson Wells reading War of the Worlds aloud on the radio and causing many to think the world was really under attack is one of the best mind-fucks ever....
