Orson Wells scared the shit out of the world on Halloween with an eerie radio broadcast which had people actually believing the world was under  attack from aliens. 

Director Timothy Hines and Producer Susan Goforth  of Pendragon Pictures is taking War of the Worlds to a new place. A place that Orson himself intended. A film which will goes true to the roots of it all. 

The $42 million dollar production will utilize state of the art effects and will be shot in the new CineAlta HD system George Lucas used for his upcoming STAR WARS installment. Financed through an array of sources anchored with venture capital, Pendragon Pictures' production will be the first ever to feature the ten-story tall alien fighting machines. "I've always wanted to see a movie version of WAR OF THE WORLDS with the massive fighting machines with their tentacles and poison gas deployment weapons striding down city streets, sending people fleeing in terror," admits Hines. Goforth is equally enthusiastic. "Response to our screenplay has been overwhelmingly positive. The aliens in WAR OF THE WORLDS are not just creatures in big fast mindless lumbering machines. They are devious and cunning and know how to use propaganda to turn humanity against each other. Everyone has come away from the script telling us that when we film this story, it will be the most frightening movie ever made." 

Filming of this incredible epic is set to begin in 2003 and is currently scheduled to theatres in the summer of 2004.
