War of the Worlds

Steven Spielberg may have crapped out of making a movie about the Munich Olympic massacre but he is planning on a remake of War of the Worlds. While I’m not a huge fan of the original book I do have a barely remembered soft-spot for the John Christopher Tripods books (which were also made into a TV series). So far as I can recall they were set years after a successful invasion of Earth by the giant tripods. I’m looking forward to seeing these behemoths striding across the landscape again.
