Spielberg, Tom Cruise On Board For 'War Of The Worlds'

Another one to look forward to. From Variety:

quote:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise will bring "The War of the Worlds" to the bigscreen, with Cruise expected to star.

Depending on how quickly the two get a "War of the Worlds" script they like, the sci-fi epic could start in late 2005. Spielberg is now completing work on "The Terminal" with Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

David Koepp will rewrite a Josh Friedman-penned first-draft script based on "War," the classic H.G. Wells alien-invasion novel.

...As a scribe, Koepp was the go-to guy for Spielberg on the first two "Jurassic Park" films. He also proved adept at large-canvas fare with "Spider-Man" and its sequel, and he most recently scripted and directed the Johnny Depp starrer "Secret Window."

Buli, you stole my dancing fat kid! Someone at work showed me him last week, so I forwarded it to my home PC, but never got around to putting him on as my avatar. Foiled again....

Looking at the kid again, I'm not so sure it's a boy. And the flowers on the shirt??? We'll just call the kid Pat.

Spielberg better remember that he has to finish Indiana Jones.
