A friend who works over at Blockbuster sent me this link to CT Howell versions in store promo. It's not finished, it's just for approval by the hire ups. Not sure how long it will be up. www.theasylum.cc/temp/quicklinks.html

Good grief, they're really milking the War of the Worlds theme. On this page... www.theasylum.cc/cgi-bin/showMovie.cgi?id=6...you can see, in teeny weeny letters on the left hand side, THE WAR OF THE WORLDS HAS ALREADY BEGUN!:

No Anthony.. it means I thought it quite good..
Let's see... Growly voiceover? Check. Missile/ comet spotted through telescope? Check. CTH looking worried? Check. CTH in ruined house? Check. What looked like someone's face melting? Check. 'Walkers' stomping about a town shooting heat rays?Check. Soldiers firing machine guns? Check. Sh!t being blown up? Check. People running about? Check.
Looks like it's going to be a fun movie, I think.
Alas, I can't share it yet until I'm sure of the legality and so on of doing so. It disappeared pretty quickly. It is due out officially around this weekend anyway, I believe

That looks great! Pity it's not on theatrical release as I'd like to see what it's like on the big screen. Personally, I don't care about whether it has tripods or six legged or no legged fighting machines. The Pal version is my favourite science fiction film and I thought that war machines in that were well cool! I read the book as a child first and that was groovy too. I like to see new interpretations of the story and I'm all for artistic license and creativity. But then I'm an artist myself so I would be Zoe

This could be a lot of fun. I really doubt it is going to be a great movie but at least it's done by people who are professionals and know who to make and market a quickie exploitation film,unlike the amateur hour we have just been through. I will certainly rent it, but am not expecting it to be the greatest thing since slice bread. ANd if the Speilberg films is a huge hit, as expected, we will have a whole bunch of Invasion from Outer SPace quickies until we are sick of them....

BTW don't be surprised if it goes out under another name, since they have listed a alternate title("Invasion") ready to go if legal problem occur.

Not bad at all, and at least this one looks like a finished product.

haha yes! lol i was claping and saying thank you the whole time it was playing... The bi-tripods actually look good, the cylinder... the ruined house... the fear... All I want to see now in this, is the ThunderChild.

It does look very cool. yes its cheesy, and reminds me of the 50's movie but i liked that so thats no bad thing. The 'tripods' remind me of Mimbari Sharlin War Cruisers with legs but i try to remind myself that they are 'fighting handling Machines' LOL The cylinder bit looks scary and in with the story. Also the 'melting man bit' i can only assume this is how the martian feeds by liquifying its victim then slurping up the juices. nice attempt.

The one bad thing in the trailer was the melting human, the rest, especially the cylinder in the sky, was very cool.
