All I can say was... "That was the trailor" Who pays a mill to put that on durring the super bowl... I think I lost 30seconds of my life, I am NOT getting back... I didn't see any story line... just some smashing and exploding and *shivers* Cruise... And that lil screaming thing... WHAT THE?

I agree. Just seen the full version.
A bridge being destroyed. THAT'S IT?!?!?! We saw that in Rambo II teasers for fecks sake!! No hint of a tripod, martian, cylinder, handling machines, destruction of landmarks, or anything. Just Cruise and a brat on a bridge. C'mon Spielberg, put out a spot with SOMETHING in it t o relate it to WOTW!!! This spot could be any old film, and this tired old cliche is lessening my confidence in his modern day interpretation.
We need to see something more substantial - at least Hine's has put out shots to cleary see what the films is about.

I didn't see any story line... just some smashing and exploding and *shivers* Cruise... And that lil screaming thing... WHAT THE? Ah, I'm a big guy. Thirty seconds, I can shrug off. I get that stolen from me all the time. Canvasers in city centres, waiting in queues, bothering to read crap jokes on cards... two hours on the other hand, not so much. And only the bunnies' reconstruction of films at the very, very funny www.angryalien.com can cram plot into thirty seconds. It's just a teaser to say: A: Something scary is coming. B: Things will blow up. C: People will die. D: Start running. And I don't want to see a tripod until I see the film, or a handling machine or a martian. I want them to be surprises. I'd quite like to see the beam of a heat ray and the hulk of a cylinder, though. And not to make you shake your fists at the heaven or anything, but they paid two million. It gets huge word of mouth or something, y'see. Pete |

No, they are going to do something totally different, but use the 'War of the Worlds' name. Good old Hollywood - all about the money. |

my guess is that the martians will be held back for the film.
You wont see anything else...

I think the trouble is if we don't see anything else, it will ALIENate (ha ha) the fans of the book. At the moment you can't even tell it's supposed to be Sci-Fi Horror - it just looks like any old action film, instead of Arnie, Stallone or Dolph you get Cruise. Even the line "The next war won't be started by humans" - could be terminators, clones, machines, computers, killer bees... OK, I'm going a bit OTT here. My point is, Spielly needs to throw some glimpse of an element of WOTW to generate confidence that what he is making is truly a modernised WOTW, and not a rehashed action flick.

Thing is its just a 30 second (if that) tv spot. There isnt a lot u can cram into it really, most of the tasty stuff will be getting saved for the more expanded trailers we will no doubt be seeing in cinemas around end of march april time (maybe not even till may/june) and evn then i doubt u will get a full on shot of a fighting machine/martian in it.

Maybe there aren't any Martians I always knew that we should have kept more of an eye on those Venusians! The Mekon attacks? Pete |
