Other directors?

Not sure if this has been brought up...but if ol' Spielburg wasn't directing this movie, who would you like to see have an aim at it?
I think with Tim Burton we would have had a faithful retelling with his own dark twist. I think he would have been an appropriate choice.
Peter Jackson perhaps?
We can't forget Ridley Scott, can we? Sure, Alien was mostly low lighting and fog, but seeing his more recent films, he could have given us something good. Especially if H.R. Giger got involved...imagine the biomechanical sexual tripods we would get...phallus shaped legs, pregnant belly hoods, and breast-shaped Martians no doubt. Hm...

haha, id love to see Gigar do the art for this XD
set it in a landscape of penises rather then england....*cough*

Sounds like the makings of an anime adaptation

Tim Burton would do a fantastic job with the imagery and he could rope Johnny Depp in to play the narrator. I think James Cameron could match the grandiose production values of Spielberg. Let's not forget he directed the Sci-fi classic Aliens and is also a superb illustrator.

I wouldnt mind seeing what Stanly Kubric could do with it either.

Giger is the only way to go...

Other directors:

Alex Proyas - The Crw, Dark City and I, Robot

Tarsem Singh - The Cell

The Wachowski Brothers - The Matrix-trilogy

Paul Verhoeven - Robocop, Total Recall and Starship Troopers

Tim Burton - He'd definitely make the ultimate goth-trip. Imagine biomechanical sci-fi in Sleepy Hollow setting and atmosphere!

Ken Loach - cause those Tripods are new Labour scumbag sellouts

I'd like to Quintin Tarantino's take...lol
