War of the Worlds ala Spielberg

December 10, 2004 | Movie Review | By: Mark VandeWettering

Apple has just posted the teaser for Stephen Spielberg’s remake of War of the Worlds. Not much to see, but try comparing voice over to the great introduction done by Orson Welles for his famous Mercury Theater Broadcast. Orson’s radio voice and delivery may be unequalled in the history of radio, and he’s at his best here.

More War of the Worlds links: The classic 1953 film, the terrible but strangely addictive short-lived television series, and the text of H.G. Wells original from Project Gutenberg.
