Yeh! and their letters page is complete crap. They don't really discuss anything. SFX only seem to pick the readers letters that make smartarse comments and nothing else. Exactly, or they pick the nerdy ones they can rip the pi*s out off, even the stuff for sale is tainted by the editors smart remarks wrecking any chance of a sale. I remember how SFX used to be, hard core sci-fi, and it didnt revolve around the sci-fi channel either, they actualy did research and asked questions, now all the news they "exclusively" reveal is months old and word for word on the net. |

Just a quick note on "conspiracy theories".
As usual, the Orwellian wordsmiths have planted this one to de-legitimise anyone with a non-established view, by using the word conspiracy. I don't see any difference between speculative theories and any other scientific modelling. I'm sure the Authorities would have called Galileo and Copernicus conspiracy theorists too.
What is the difference? You observe a phenomena to which the approved view doesn't meet all the facts, so you put forward your own model that does. Then others repeat the experiment independently and put your model through the ringer. If it is still standing and explains the "truth" better than the official version, it must be true (or more true)
Not all scientific models are 100% accurate, take light for instance; not a particle and not a wave. Not all "conspiracy theories" are 100% accurate, like UFO's. But when the official explanation does not ring true, just as with the flat earth theory, someone else will put forward a speculative theory that does. They will be resisted, called a hoax and a fraud then years after they die, universities will be named after them and roomfuls of 15-year-olds will be taught their truth.
If there is any conspiracy, it is the Authorities protecting their bogus, self-serving "truths".
You people are right to doubt Pendragon, because their official truth has many holes in it. Another scientific principle is that if two theories are advanced, the simplest is more likely. Is it more likely that Pendragon are releasing a full-length SPX movie in a month on the available evidence? Or that the Machine behind Spielberg has deceived us, a legion of fans that could abandon his movie if they plan massive plot changes in a post-911world. Just imagine all the venom we have directed at Timothy Hinds multiplied tenfold at Spielberg. Remember people that War of the Worlds is at its heart an anti-imperial story.
Your guess is a good as mine, or as Chris Carter says, the truth is out there.
Earthrise.

Just to chuck my two'penneth in: I only want to see WOTW. I'll probably wait to see Chrome when it's shown on Channel 5 @ 9pm as part of their Sci-Fi seasons.
I doubt they'd use Chome as a 'showcase' to lead people into WOTW...after all, if it's pants, then it's put people off what he seeas as the BIG movie - I just don't think he'd risk it. He'd rather make his name with WOTW and run everything else off the back of that ("from the maker of WOTW...")
Anyway, it's moot point: The film does exists - we've seen small excerpts. The fact that AICN are interested in Chrome and not WOTW is old news - AICN have never been interested in WOTW unless it's Spielbergs WOTW.

The fact that AICN are interested in Chrome and not WOTW is old news - AICN have never been interested in WOTW unless it's Spielbergs WOTW. You seem to have missed the point there slightly HTT. I put forward the theory [ just a theory ] that Pendragon was using W.O.T.WORLDS as a cover to get publicity for CHROME. If you think about it CHROME would never have got much publicity otherwise if it wasn't for their announced W.O.T.WORLDS project. The perfect attention grabber. Maybe they'll announce that their W.O.T.WORLDS project is delayed for some reason or another but in the mean time they'll put CHROME in the cinemas in the hope that the publicity they've generated from W.O.T.WORLDS - will make W.O.T.WORLDS and sci fi fans in general go to see CHROME out of curiosity. To see what they're capable of. Maybe the real [and only] film that they've been working on for the past few years is CHROME. From what I can see some of the same actors who are supposed to be in W.O.T.WORLDS are also in CHROME. Slight coincidence there maybe? Then W.O.T.WORLDS will mysteriously never turn up and they'll announce that it can't be shown for some legal or other reason. Maybe it doesn't even exist. Just because we've seen the odd bit of film or a couple of photo's here and there doesn't prove the film exists. Anyway it's just an idea and I'm certainly not claiming it's true or that I'm right. A.I.C.NEWS did cover Pendragons W.O.T.WORLDS film when it was first anounced as Harry Knowles was actually supposed to be in Pendragons aborted modern day version. Do a search on their site by typing in "WAR OF THE WORLDS" and you'll see it was discussed quite a bit. It's only in the past year or two that they haven't covered Pendragons W.O.T.WORLDS film [ apart from fan comments on the threads about Spielbergs W.O.T.WORLDS film ]. Strange how they're now covering CHROME and not Pendragons W.O.T.WORLDS movie. |

True, but let's hope I'm completely wrong and they've got one mother of an epic W.O.T.WORLDS flick waiting to come out.

You could use the same argument against Spielberg I suppose. Perhaps his WOTW is a front to promote Indy IV on the side... or he could be merging the two together!
Indiana Jones and the Martian Invasion!! WOW!! Imagine, Indiana Jones comes across some relics in the Jungle he takes back to the US. He teams up with Tom Cruise plus obligatory brat. They discover it's of Martian origin - "My god...they're already here!". The brat manages to accidentally activate the relic, triggering the awakening of the sleeping martians who go on the rampage!
Later, separated from Cruise, Indy comes across an alien out of his machine, and gets out the whip. Suddenly, he looks up and see's the FMs tentacle/ whip... Showdown! Indy drops the whip, smiles that sly smile of his, goes for his gun - but it's a bazooka, and he blows the hood to Hell! He then uses the whip to swing over the pit, in the process rescuing the requisite Damsel in distress! Meanwhile Cruise runs into Sallah for some comic relief.
Cor, that'd be a good film!!
