War Of The Worlds: Goliath
March 20th, 2009
A tipster sent us the link below regarding a new War Of The Worlds movie. Sounds pretty interesting. The best part? Sounds like there will be lots of robots. Specifically “giant, steam powered battle tripods”.
“It’s an R rated, retro-history, steam punk epic set in a 1914, fourteen years after the first failed Martian invasion. Mankind has rebuilt her cities and military adapting a lot of the abandoned Martian technology. They’ve created an international defense force, A.R.E.S., based on the lower end of Manhattan and under the command of Theaodore Roosevelt. They’ve built a formidable force centered around giant, steam powered battle tripods. Think of “Band of Brothers” meets “Star Wars”, meets World WO. It will be cool-steam powered battle tripods, doomed Cossack cavalry charges, victorian decco, steam punk Manhattan, 1500 foot long armored battle zeppelins, Teddy Roosevelt, souped up Tri-planes, blood on steaming metal, sex in the cockpit. The usual.”
That sounds like my kind of movie. It will have a budget of around $3 million.
