Here is more of the Speilberg interview seen on the Dark Horizons site. The interviewer 'Brad Miska' makes me laugh as reading the interview he clearly has never heard of or maybe even seen the George Pal 53 version, or as he calls him as 'George Powell' ;D - some 4 times. Here is part of the interview.
Although the George Powell version is considered a classic, a lot of people today are bothered by the "God Saved Us" ending. What have you thought about in terms of your own version of the ending?
Spielberg: We have our own version of the ending that neither strays nor mimics the original book. So I think we've hit a very satisfying compromise.

It could just be a transcription error- maybe down to the audio quality of the interview recording (like one of those really low fi dictaphone things or EVEN WORSE!!!!- MP3). I doubt someone of Spielberg's movie love and experience would get this wrong. Of course, I could be completely wrong myself!!! Who knows. Who really cares. As long as it's a great movie, I've given up the whole ,being precious about a book I didn't write, thing....   |

According to Kathleen Kennedy H G wrote his novel in 1887, thats either 'Brad Miska' 'doing another Powell' or they realy got their actors to research the subject matter!

The point was if the mistake came from 'Brad Miska' and he also made the powell mistake then other 'facts' may not be acurate, according to the site he stayed up all night to finish the article maybe he got tired and started making mistakes. Who knows.

Motile
Thats what I suggested over on the other thread about the Dark Horizons interview. If we have picked up these mistakes, what others are lurcking about in the interview.
If it was late at night when he did this, he should have double checked when fully awake before releasing it. Not very good for him, not good for DH and not good for SS & TC.

Exactly H_C I think the quotes are pretty close but I dont know about you but I got a whiff of something from Spielberg and Cruise, kind of like two school boys telling fibbs, about the martians not being martians did you notice that whatsername said the EXACT same thing word for word almost like she was told what to say in regards to the martians, an engineered spoiler but why? I say its crap, martians they will be.

You know when I first heard them referring to the 'Pal' version of War of the Worlds as a kid many years ago, at first I thought they were referring to the television system in the UK. I thought it was a special version for PAL tv's ;D ;D ;D

Could have easily gone this way -
'Hello and welcome to another exclusive interview. We have with us today George Powell, George Pal, George NTSC, George Region One & George Region Two'
