I'm surprised I haven't seen any comments about this yet, but I picked up the new CFQ magazine a couple days ago and they've got a article on the Pendragon WOTW plus a new pic of their tripods standing over London (unfortunately I don't have a scanner, or I would post it). I have a feeling a lot of people here will hate it, but I like the design for the most part. It's got a definite, 1960s retro kind of look to it, and reminds me of the Nautilus from 2000 Leagues Under The Sea for some reason. As for the article itself, it consists mostly of Hines acting like a paranoid conspiracy nut, suggesting that Paramount rushed their movie into production a year early just to foil Pendragon's plans. Somehow... I kinda doubt that. Interesting but I thought Pendragon weren't going to give too much away and they were going to keep what the tripods look like under wraps until the film was released.

Yes it would, except that I'm at work right now. If I still don't see any pictures online tonight, I'll go ahead and post it myself.

After reading the description of the picture, I tend to think CFQ used that early concept art which we've seen floating around in the SS forum a couple of times? With those two FM's standing in front of Big Ben?

Haven't seen that before and I quite like the design. Where did you get that from Gnorn? That picture has been posted a few times in the SS forum. It was made by an artist who appearantly made some concept art for the SS movie. The guy has his own website, but don't know where that is. I Googled up this image. -Gnorn

London apparantly looks like really bad CGI like in the trailer, so no improvement.

It must be for the inevitable bit when they show London being trashed for a few seconds.

Well, I'm not sure if it was realy concept art for his movie. I don't realy care a lot about his version, so I didn't delve into it a lot. But I know that picture was posted in the SS forum and talked about as early concept art. I don't know where that discussion ended... -Gnorn
