3 YEARS!!!!!

[tet1138]

Hello all,

I was one of the ebay member who won an Jeff Wayne autographed WOTW cd. I received it the other day and I sent a message back to Jeff Wayne Music to let them know that I got it. I also asked the question about when the CGI movie was going to be released. Well, here is the e-mail I got back from them....

"HI Mark

Great to hear that your CD arrived in one piece.

Things are quite busy in the JeffWayne camp right now - Please keep an eye on www.thewaroftheworlds.com which will be officially launched soon...this will be the source for all OFFICIAL news, messages from Jeff and no doubt loads more exciting stuff. Also our official Ebay Shop will be opening soon with hundreds of official TWOTW products in stock.

To answer your question about the release date of the CGI movie - we are possibly looking at sometime in 2008, I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.

Please feel free to keep in touch with any questions you may have

Many Thanks"

2008!!!!! Man I hope that doesn't hold true. I don't know if I can wait 3 years. It has been hard enough to wait the past 3 years for the next Star Wars movie. I'm tired of this 3 years stuff. Oh well, I'm sure it will be worth it, and I'm sure that all the merchandise that is coming out will help to pass the time. Hope everyone is doing good.

Mmmmmmmmmmm, only one way to find out, bare with me.

[Gnorn]

[jeffwaynefan]

I did say 'bare with me'. I did my bit, still waiting myself.

[glow=purple,2,300]I hope you meant to say bear with me... or do we have to get naked with you as an inducer to speak to Jeff...? ;D

Only joking! I don't mind it it's 2008 actually - give 'em a bit more time to polish it with the latest technology... one that will need no tinkering (unlike Star Wars who have another three updates of A New Hope planned...)

[jeffwaynefan]

Can you all please grisley bear with me ;D

[Gerkinman]

Now Pixar have left Disney just hire them, whack in a few guys from Square Pictures and youll have it done in 1 year T_T

[Ashe Raven]

Heh, I know how much Pixar would charge for their services, and Wayne just doesn't have that kind of budget .

Anyway, films like Ice Age and Robots, and Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children show that Pixar is far from need for a really polished result

No reply as of yet

[eveofthewar]

NOOOOOOOOO!!! not 2008...... 2007 is too far, not another year as well

[jeffwaynefan]

I contacted Jeff about the film, and here is his reply about the date/year.

'Our CGI film is something we have always said will be completed late
2007 early 2008. Our pre production period takes us to the summer - it
is this period that our R+D period ends and which the clips already
seen, with many more not seen - come from, and then a 24-28 month
production schedule.'

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF****************CCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK!

[jeffwaynefan]

Not too sure what the 'R' stands for, but I think the 'D' is design.

[FALLINGSTAR]

Great! A Hollywood travesty, a probable straight to dvd piece of crap and now even longer to wait for Jeff Waynes version.

I'm getting fed up with this whole WOTWORLDS thing!

[jeffwaynefan]

Eh!, it was always said the CGI film was out sometime in 2007. Waiting over 2 years for this is easy compared to people who have had to wait 27 years for it.

[FALLINGSTAR]

I know, but I was hoping it would have at least been early 2007. It's ok for all the young ones on here but I'm 30 bloody 7 this year.

Hello everyone again,

Well, I didn't expect my question to get an answer from Jeff himself. This site is very, very cool. Great job on getting that info Horsell_Common.

Just think of it this way. Everyone can space out the purchasing of all this merchandise over the next 2-3 years and we won't all go broke trying to buy it all before an earlier release.

I can't wait to see this film and the thought of waiting 3 years in unbearable. I think I would rather have a 3 year wait and get the film I see in my mind than get a rushed release and end up with a piece of crap. I have a really good feeling this is going to be an awsome film and the making of it will be like wine. It will get better every year until the cork is pulled and we can all enjoy it. Take care all.

Mark
