I very much hope that Jeff Wayne will give HG credit - right at the beginning of the film at the very least - and not just tiny lettering that disappears after a second or so - or stuck at the end credits.
I think that Wells name should be up on screen in BIG letters for as long as possible - so that anyone watching the film can't miss his name.
First of all because he deserves it and secondly because I don't want people to think that Jeff Waynes film is based upon Spielbergs or Pals film. As we all know - there will be those who think that Spielberg invented WOTW and I really hope that Jeff will re-address the balance.

Is that something that's been touted around before?

The be fair, though H.G is bound to get a mention in the credits, I doubt his name will be up in big flashing lights. After all this is Jeff Wayne's version based on the novel by H.G.

I hope it has "Based on the novel by HG WELLS TWOTW" in the opening credits at the very least. Again, I think that would work in Jeff Waynes favour as uninformed people won't think he's copying or pinching ideas from Spielbergs film. I can just imagine some people - "hey did ya see that Spielberg WOTW rip off set in England - stupid!" I also think it's only right that the man who wrote the original story and whom without - Jeff Waynes adaptation wouldn't exist should be given credit. A mention in tiny letters in the end credits would be a real shame. |

A mention in tiny letters in the end credits would be a real shame. I agree with you. Even if it is made by JW, I believe he must make it clear some how that H.G Wells wrote it in the first place. |

I think that HG Wells, should be mentioned, In a great way, not only by Jeff but everybody else that does something, regarding TWOTW. I hope he will do it. I would appreciate it. SS should have made it clear, about HG Wells, And you are right, Fallingstar, every body, that did any kind of art, about wotw, would'nt had the chance to do it, without, a great story wrote by HG Wells, The war of the Worlds, Chantale.  |

He did indeed... And that's the loosest application of "Based On" I think I've ever come across ;D  KR |

Could have read something like. . . .
Very, very, very, loosely based on a book cover I quickly caught a glimpse of once while passing by a bookshop window and it stuck in my mind until recently when I decided to make it into a profit making adventure, and while during this I did'nt think it wise to actually look up the author and see what a very talented person he was because if I did, it would have shown in the movie, but who cares!
. . . . but it appeared to be a bit on the 'lenghthy' side

Right....................I say we all get a petition together to send to Jeff Wayne asking/demanding that he gives recognition to HG Wells for his company - Wells Washroom Supplies. ;D

Is that an actual still from the dvd Horsell? Yes, from the end credits. The dvd artwork also has a credit to H.G on the same lines as the screen cap. |
