Ambitious big screen adaptation of War of the Worlds


H.G. Wells’s classic tale of invading aliens, War of the Worlds, is getting the big screen treatment again, and when we say big, we mean big. Not only does it have Steven Spielberg in the director’s chair and Tom Cruise in the lead, the production budget for this Hollywood remake is reportedly set to exceed the cost of Titanic, which was budgeted at US$200mil (RM760mil).
