All sources are from past posts (I think) LOL.
A 20-year veteran of commercial/industrial filmmaking,
"I did a lot of commercials and worked on industrial films and went through the process that every filmmaker goes through to learn how to make films."
"Of course, this was prior to September 11th and our current circumstances. I can reveal it now, and more details will come out about this later. I've got a book coming out called The Worlds that Never Warred, about that whole experience."
"So when September 11th occurred one of our investors was directly involved, and a lot of people have questioned why I backed down [on the updated concept]. Quite honestly it wasn't about the public, would they think this or would they think that. It was my own personal feelings." (Not when the Tsunami occurred, he suddenly cared what the public thought ........)
"It's a little arrogant to think that someone could come along and say "Well, this is flawed and I know how to do it better." So in creating this adaptation the first thing I decided to do was not to leave anything out."
The research was grueling and information was sometimes extremely difficult to obtain, such as finding the right class of ship the Thunderchild would have been. But it was worth it. In the end, Tim's vision proved to be right. The movie is detail perfect.
Hines also said in the release that the budget for the film was in the tens of millions of dollars...
"But our budget is not embarrassing as we're in eight figures."
"We have the best and brightest talent in the FX department. The War Of The Worlds is such a known entity that we didn't have to seek them out. They came to us with enthusiasm and a deep desire to be involved. Budget and fees has not been a concern to these people. They are fans, like myself, and are creating this picture with love and integrity. Our effects will be state-of-the-art. We are utilizing both CGI and miniatures as well as many full-scale mechanical effects that were already shot out on set."
LMAO!!! God! That felt good. ;D
