Paramount Pictures will partner with Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner's Cruise/Wagner Productions on a new feature-film adaptation of H.G. Wells' classic SF book The War of the Worlds, Variety reported. Cruise and Wagner will produce, and the studio is hoping the former will star in the movie, which is scheduled for production in 2003, the trade paper reported.
First published in 1898, Wells' book tells the story of a Martian invasion of Earth. War of the Worlds was adapted for the radio in a famous Halloween broadcast by Orson Welles in 1938 and for the movies in 1953 in a George Pal production. Xponent This Ought To Suck Maru rob
