New "War of the Worlds" trailer!!

[Schwan]

Link

Looks really good IMO.

 

[Trent257]

yea that does look like a good movie, I'm going to have to see it in the theaters

 

[Chompman]

The only thing about that one is it makes it focus more on some kids instead of the aliens... screw kids, the aliens are what we want to see.

 

[Insomniak]

Spielberg plugging it into the formula again.


I miss the time when all his movies weren't the same.


But I'll go see it anyway.


Oh yeah and:

Danica Patrick.

Your fault for going back for it. Unless you liked it?

EDIT - Independence Day remixed. Just in time for the 4th of July weekend.

Spielberg's films for some reason all have a sameness to me - even extremely divergent subject matter like Minority Report and Saving Private Ryan feel similar.

I dunno, they seemed like different movies back in the days of Jaws and Close Encounters, but now they all feel like they're wearing the same kind of gloss sheen on 'em - it's hard to quantify. I haven't checked, is he using the same production team for all his movies these days like Bay does with Bruckheimer? That might be it.

It's weird - they all seemed paced the same, shot similarly, cut the same - some say it's a directorial style, but other big names don't have this kind of trouble - Soderbergh and Rodriguez spring directly to mind.

It's not neccesarily a bad thing...it's just....samey.

LOL. :thumbsup: on the trailer, hope it doesn't focus more on the kids then the aliens like another poster said though, screw that I want to see more of them long ass tenticles.

 

[arcas]

I wonder if the remade movie will follow the original classic where the aliens are defeated or if it'll follow the "Ooolah" song where the aliens win?

 

[Insomniak]

I foresee humanity triumphing, because that is what we do in movies.

 

[everman]

This is one of those I'd really like to see Earth loose.

 

[dderidex]

Has anybody here ever actually READ the original book?

And if so, what was Thunder Child?

 

[Epic Fail]

Spielberg formula:

father/children relationship + a bucket of sap + a little FX

that one kickass ship?

--edit--
I'd actually watch the movie if they had this scene in it.

 

[dderidex]

It was, indeed, the ironclad ram that sacrificed itself to save the transports. (There was, in fact, a rather folk song covering the topic, which had the linked album cover)

A couple ex-military folks on another board I'm on point out that no scene like this is likely to appear in a modern Hollywood flick. They are too obsessed with showing the military as either incompetent or outright evil.

Too bad, would have been something to see.
