The production (the film's production budget could top $120m, beating the
record set by James Cameron's elephantine Titanic in 1997) for this
Paramount/Dreamworks movie runs at full speed, to start filming this
November. The movie (an adaptation of H.G. Wells' classic Mars Invasion story from 1898)
is still set to a June 2005 release. The script was written by David Koepp.
The title looks to stay "War of the Worlds", because UIP-Netherlands changed it back
(from "Out of the Night") on their Website,
and the new premier date is set to the 29th of June 2005.
