Who else is excited? I know I am! The teaser trailer just came out. I think the movie is either going to be very good or very bad, I hope it turns out great!

Hmmm... Seemingly moved from England to the US, and from the late 19th Centuary to the early 21st... I hate it when Hollywood does this... |

Looks Awesome! Together with King Kong on the top of my 2005 movie list.
Very curious what john Williams is going to do with it. |

we've come a long way since Gregory Peck and the flying silver wedgies shooting green plasma! Very cool! 
Doodle... judging by the make of cars in the trailer I think it's set in the fifties

But the weird thing is if you look at the old 50s cars there is a modern cop car in there. Also they showed modern highways and stuff. I'm pretty sure its set in modern times.

I finally saw War of the Worlds last night. I'm impressed with the score/action syncapation. Although I was a bit upset that there wasn't an tribute of some sort to the 1953 version.
btw, did anyone notice that the Dock Worker was played by David Harbour?

While the acting was sub-par, I thought the FX made-up for it in spades. |
