The War of Worlds?

I saw the trailer for this movie today...I think it's a Spielberg movie and I believe Tom Cruise is in it. Anybody have a clue what this is all about? It's the first I've seen of it.

It's based on the H.G. Wells novel of the same name. Basically, aliens invade, wreak a bunch of shit, and eventually the humans win (unless Spielberg twists the original ending of course ;) ).

If Spielberg's attached, I'm definitely seeing it. This looks like he's returning to his roots as a fun movie director (not saying his other projects weren't good, because they are). Can't wait to catch this one this summer.

When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the country not enter the city. For this is the time of punishment in fullfillment of all that has been written. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. They will fall by the sword and be taken as prisoners to all nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
...At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.

The old movie sucked and the book wasn't much better.

I'm not sure how he could re-work it without completely changing huge chunks of the story around.

The commercials look pretty spiffy though.

I did a book report on War Of The Worlds in 9th grade. True story.

You're thinking of Alien Nation.

One of the ladies was kind of hot. I wanted to have babies with her.

Oh.

I'm thinking of Alien Nation.

One of the bald chicks with weird red skin on the dome was very hot.

I think it may have confused me, you know, sexually.

I can only remember bits of pieces but that hand over the earth and the cheap Star Trek (the original) noises for the weapons along with that long neck like eye that was part of the ships, is what stands out most from the Series.

I use to watch the series. It was funny watching them get drunk on sour milk and asking how old it was lol. Oh and the whole affair the one guy had with one of the alien chics was a bit odd.

I know, why was that stuff even on TV?

I couldn't stop watching it. I think I've seen War of the Worlds as well.
