I have to put this down to hype, I mean really, can they make a sequel to this movie? Okay, that’s a daft question there can always be sequels made, but what would the story possibly be? Sure the invasion could happen again, but just concentrate on the family once more? I don’t think that would work, and I just don’t see Steven Spielbergmaking a sequel to this before he considers a Jaws remake – he’s already been quoted as saying he would consider it.
Still, thanks to Chris for pointing me to this story from Bloody Disgusting through Eve of the War, a War of the Worlds site.
“Scooper Milk Duds writes…”I just saw an interview with Dakota Fanning on Larry King, who said there will definitely be a sequel to “War of the Worlds,” ‘I bet we do! I bet we do!’ she smiled, as if knowing something, ‘I can’t wait. I don’t know when it’ll be, but it will be even scarier… this movie was so much fun. I love Tom.'”
Mmm, not so sure how solid a source Fanning would be, and it’s way too early, plus have you seen the workload of Spielberg of late? Good idea \ bad idea?
