The War of the Worlds — H. G. Wells, Orson Welles, Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise

H. G. Wells Victorian born in England 1866. Third humane society by killing those who want to discuss peace with them and looking at humans as a source of food.

The Martians were raiding the English country, ravaging and destroying London, but not completely destroying the people. The Martians also brought their red weed to earth by “invading” native plant life. Nothing seems to be able to stop it.

But he does something that the Martians did not consider or expect. Both the Martians and their plants do not resist the disease. Do the humble bacteria that man could not do, and bring down the Martians.

H. G. Wells is considered by many to be the Father of Science Fiction. In this book he predicts the advent of mechanical and chemical warfare in World War I and beyond. It explores the depths of human despair and the irony of salvation arising from unexpected sources. Wells have supported the image and themes for over 100 years.

Orson Welles and the Mercury Theater presented a pre-Halloween adaptation of War of the Worlds on October 30, 1938 on New York Radio and federal stations. The story was almost scrapped before it aired because it didn’t “read” right.

But, with some tinkling, the cast went ahead of the project. At the beginning of the episode, the announcer revealed that the following show was an adaptation of H. G. Wells’ ‘The March Tale’. Unfortunately, many people got involved after hearing about “The Carlie McCarthy Show” and missed this important announcement.

The famous Wells shot started from the weather forecast and then moved on to the “Meridian Room” in downtown New York and some nice music by “Ramon Raquello” and his orchestra. The music was interrupted by a “special bulletin” on “Intercontinental Radio News”, announcing that some explosions had been seen on the surface of Mars.

Popularly known later switched to “Ramon Raquello”. The story continued to switch back and forth between announcements and music until the Martians exited their space in “Wilmuth Village” in Mill, New Jersey and emerged. The radio game then continued with announcers and “people on site” until the end.

The action in this version took the Martians from New Jersey to New York, where a lone radio operator stood on top of a radio building and described the invasion of New York until “black smoke” killed him. Lying included the sound of the fallen body.

This announcer warned the audience that they were listening to a dramatization of World War. But some of the audience were already panicking. People got out, some called the local police station for confirmation, others wrapped wet towels around their heads, hoping to protect themselves from March’s poisoned stomach.

At the end of the program, Welles announced the famous Halloween “boo”. However, the legitimate news reported in both the horror game and from there, both Welles and C.B.S. forced to apologize here and there.

Why do people fall for the “invasion”? The radio is still in the new year 1938. For the first time, people could hear the voices of people far away in their homes. They could listen to President Franklin Roosevelt’s “Freeside Chats.” The crash of the Hindenberg in 1937 was rarely heard alive.

It is said that Welles had at least one of the actors listen to this occasionally to get a feel for how he wanted the play to be presented. And, in 1938, Hitler was moving Germany and Europe into what would become World War II. The Munich crisis, where England and Germany finally forced Czechoslovakia to turn Sweden into Germany, passed.

Czechoslovakia annexed Sudenteland between 1 October and 10 October. The event, while being carried out on another continent for a period of time, when United was taking a solitary yet common stance He contributed to the anxiety of the times. The actors sang realistically in the broadcast, the sound effects sounded realistic, and they didn’t hear all the screamers.

On June 29, Steven Spielberg’s much-anticipated movie “The War of the Worlds,” starring Tom Cruise, will be released. Spielberg’s adaptation will not be the first on the silver screen.

In 1953, Gene Barry and Ann Robinson starred in another version, which won the Academy Award for best special effects. Both Barry and Robinson have cameos in the new movie. What will Spielberg’s film look like? That’s a really good question.

Tom Cruise plays the lead, a father in a blue collar New Jersey neighborhood. The story apparently centers on the character of Ray Cruise and his efforts to protect his family from invaders. The tripods and the red weed will be from the original story, but the Martians will not be stationed.

Those involved in the project were more tight-lipped about the script. With a budget of 128 million, Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise, it should be interesting. We will have to wait to get the release details.
