Starburst War of the Worlds Exclusive Report Scans

[Anthony]

I have just scanned in an 8 page feature on Paramounts War of the Worlds which is claimed as a 'World Exclusive Report'. The report includes some very cool information about the film, photos from the sets, and interviews with Spielberg and Cruise. I still havn't read the full article yet so go ahead and read it. Tell us if there is anything new in there

This scene looks just like something out straight out of the book:

"Sad weary women, their children stumbling and streaked with tears, their men bitter and angry, the rich rubbing shoulders with beggars and outcasts, dogs snarled and whined, the horses bits where covered with foam and here and there where wounded soldiers as helpless as the rest"

Tell me this one image doesnt encapsulate all that?

EDIT - ah i cant the image to display? help lol

Re: said article... There is going to be humour in war of the worlds!!!!!!! What the hell are they thinking? This is based on a dark novel filled with misery, death, futility and hopelesness. Has Spielberg actually read the book? Or is it simply a case of 'give the punters what they want - chi ching!'
Lets just hope we don't have th token Brit guy speaking the Queens English as in independence day (Oh My God - how crap was that film)

I think Spielberg will be a little more subtle than that. He's already on record saying he doesn't want to make this another gungho action movie like ID4.

Besides, he's right. Sometimes a movie takes itself so seriously and is so relentlessly grim you can't help but start laughing. A perfect example is Matrix Revolutions. After awhile the audience in my theater was SO fed up with how pretentious and self-important the whole thing was they started laughing at everything. Even during Trinity's death. I couldn't really blame them.

I agree, nothing wrong with a little humor here and there to break the tension. As long as it's handled right and not taken out of proportion.

There are little spots of humour in the original 1898 novel anyway, not many but there are some.
