Every year I put on a Halloween party at my house. So far it keeps getting better each year. And last year I showed a movie my friends and I made a month before the party called "Axe Man" -I scared the guests by having someone slam through a door dressed as the killer at the end of the movie. Worked well. Good show.
This year the same friends want to do something on War of the Worlds. By the time Halloween rolls around Steven's version should be out, so we're trying to do something original and new...but stick with the classic.
I've come up with a very modern version of the story (Easier than trying to come up with enough costumes for a period setting) set through the eyes of a man who prior to the falling cylinders has experienced his girlfriends cheating on him twice. In fact the last time it happened he beat his previous girlfriend's secret lover almost to death with a baseball bat.
This is told through noir High Contrast "drug induced" camera work integrated through "normal" shots while showing how the Martians land.
In it he is remembering everything that has happened up until the Martians captured him.
The style is very dark and twisted...but I'm currently still developing the look and feel of the Martians. We're intentionally straying a little bit, and obviously what will be seen will be vague due to the cost of everything.
We plan to use minatures, CG work, animation, and blue screens to make this movie possible.
My brother and I make amateur films. We've made many films for school and for the hell of it and really push what we can do as far as special effects.
This movie is completely doable, but it is a little large scale.
