"No one would have believed ... that this world was being watched keenly and
closely by intelligence greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own."
Cruise to star in
'War of the Worlds' [AP] | "The War of the
Worlds," the classic H.G. Wells science fiction novel that begins with those
foreboding words of alien observation, will be updated by director Steven
Spielberg, with Tom Cruise (news) to star, Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks
announced Monday.
Shooting will begin in November.
H.G. Wells' 1898 novel has been adapted in a 1953 film, a TV series and as an
infamous 1938 radio broadcast by Orson Welles that convinced thousands of
listeners that aliens had indeed invaded.
Meanwhile, production for the third "Mission: Impossible" film, already in
preparation in Berlin, is now set to begin shooting next summer. J.J. Abrams is
slated to direct the Paramount Pictures and Cruise/Wagner Productions
film.
