Shame it's the Pendragon pictures version. I was worried when they mentioned "desktop cgi", and was right to. Check out the shot of Big Ben getting trashed. It's awesome for all the wrong reasons. Totally and uttely laughable.

Yup, and of course, they're saying their version is the definitive because it's the first version to be true to the book. What a damn shame. I'd love to see BB trashed by a studio that could actually pull it off. Ho hum.

To be fair, the tripod legs looked pretty cool (even if they moved "wrong") as did the lass in the weird blood sucking (I presume) machine. Shame about all the rest..............

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If the Cruise version doesn't have tripods, I'll be spitting teeth.

[edit] Test footage of Jeff Waynes CGI version. This one will suck too, but at least the walker moves well. I've always thought it looks like a big aphid though. :) [URL]http://www.waroftheworldsonline.com/movies/clip.htm[/URL]

Hehe, I was cringing at the woman singing. These people do know there's another version in the works, right?
