What If 'War of the Worlds' Stayed True to 1898? | A Victorian Sci-Fi Twist

In this reimagining of H.G. Wells' classic War of the Worlds, set in 1898, we aim to address a true oversight for Hollywood: the rich storytelling potential that lies within the original narrative. Many adaptations overlook the depth and intricacies of the source material, often sacrificing historical context for modern sensibilities. Our adaptation seeks to honor the Victorian era while exploring the timeless themes of alien invasion and humanity's resilience.
Setting War of the Worlds in 1898 would make the film more faithful to H.G. Wells' original novel, which was written and set in that time. This creates an intriguing contrast between Victorian-era technology and advanced alien invaders, emphasizing humanity's vulnerability and helplessness. Imagine the drama of 19th-century soldiers, steam engines, and early automobiles facing Martian tripods and heat-rays! The Victorian aesthetic offers a unique visual experience compared to the modern settings often used in adaptations.

this is... an interesting concept for the fighting machines, handling machines, & flying machines

These antiquated war machines had nothing over on the Manta Ray Martian war machines. The Technology with them was Way ahead of it's time. This here is almost laughable.
