The film is War of the Worlds . The director is Steven Spielberg  and after doing years of films about happy, peaceful aliens like in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and E.T, he got to do what he always wanted to do, a scary disaster film yet packed with unsympathetic aliens bent on the destruction of Earth. Whether these are aliens from Mars is not really something that is answered in War of the Worlds, and there's a few great questions about why they chose Earth, and why they had machines here before humanity grew to large numbers. What was their real game? Was it us? Were we to be the food and fertilisation of a new species? Before I get into that, let's look at the franchise itself.

It's time for another celebration. On this day, 10 years ago Steven Spielberg's adaptation of H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds went on general release in the US. To celebrate this, let's take a few looks behind the scenes of the making of the film that had a 72-day shooting schedule, just like Spielberg's Schindler's List and Raiders of the lost ark before that. Spielberg directing his main stars:  Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning The film was originally slated for a 2007 release, however when both the director and the star became available, it was decided that the new date would be 2005, even though that left Spielberg and his team only 7 months between the first day of shooting and the premiere.  To achieve that Steven decided to start off by filming the various mass-sequences first and he decided to step down from his usual storyboarding and opted for a digital Pre-Vis system George Lucas had demonstrated to him during the maki...
