First movie or TV adaptation, not counting the horrid direct to DVD version that was slapped together to take advantage of Spielberg's movie, that takes place in the setting where Wells set his novel. Prefer Miss Tomlinson in Late Victorian/Edwardian dress than Georgian dress from "Poldark"

The 2005 Hollywood version stunk on ice IMO. Those 2 kids needed a serious butt whoopin’.
HG Wells original. ..what a classic.

I’m issuing a spoiler. In the end the alien invaders all die from a virus because they forgot to get their flu shots before they set off for earth........

I loved the Spielberg version, but hated the screeching girl and Tim Robbin’s character. The aliens were terrifying.

US military industrial complex gave the immigrant martians (don’t call them invading aliens) infected blankets.

Exactly. “Undocumented Martians”.

How many times can they remake or reboot established stories?
To: C19fan
Another favorite movie of mine is “The Day of the Triffids,” which has been done a couple of times as mini-series. It’s been 10 years since the last version. Also, Mark Gattiss, and Steve Moffat (Sherlock series) are creating a 3-Part Dracula mini-series.

Didn’t someone turn this book into a movie already?

I’d rather they took some other classics and turned them into movies. How about Rendezvous with Rama, or Ringworld, or Red Thunder (John Varley)? Those would all be fantastic movies.

I own the 1953 version, which is the best, IMO. Sylvia van Buren is a fox!

They certainly wouldn’t remake the 1953 Gene Barry version, way too much God in that one.
To: Dilbert San Diego
How many times can they remake or reboot established stories? Well (from the example of theatrical plays) probably thousands of years. How long since Oedipus was penned?

They cast Demelza in the new one. Where’s Poldark?!

A really good version of the Martians landing in New Jersey.
Narrated by Orson Welles, 1938 Halloween night.
Stop the noise . Turn down you lights. and
use your mind’s eye to imagine the scenes as you listen.
