The 'special features' section looks interesting. The 'outtakes' must include a shot of all the CGI workers looking at the artist rendering of a 6 legged tripod - then burst out laughing.

Someone just noted out that the crazy person on Starship troppers is in this film. Looks on the dvd sleeve.  |

'Backed by a massive media campaign'.
Strange thing to put on an advertisment!??

George Pal's didn't have any legs at all (yes I know there were supposed to be three magnetic suspensor gizmo whatchamacallits, but who the hell ever remembers those?).
Though that still doesn't detract from the cheap tackiness of this version.

I presume it's an ad for retailers: a media campaign means it's far more likely to sell than, say, a movie where the production company put NDAs on everyone involved a days before it's supposed to be released.

I would say that the 'Media Campaign' quote is to do with the 3 lots of sponsorers at the top of the ad - CFQ, FANGORIA and STARLOG H_C  |

It might be out under a different title since apparently they have another title for this flick ready to go if there are legal difficulties.
Hey, I think the film will probably be the pits...it's obviously a quickie meant to cash in on the Speilberg version...but at least the people making it have some idea of how to market and distribute a film, which is a lot more then you can say are Mr. Hines....
I love the way the DVD Front Cover swipes the center graphic from "Independence Day".
I kind of like the cheerful, open tackiness of it all..as opposed to the prententions we are getting from a certain other version.

I love the way the Martians are wrecking the High Rises in the city, but on the freeway below cars are driving by totally unconcerned.....
From what I have seen, looks as if Los Angeles is the setting. Makes sense, since if you are a low budget filmaker in LA, why incur the expense of going out on location when you have a big city with lots of landmarks right there?
This looks like it could be cheesy fun.
