The War of the Worlds

Eighty years after the infamous radio broadcast reportedly sparked mass panic that the Martian invasion was real, a major retelling of HG Wells’s sci-fi classic lands. This will be a faithful rendering, set in Edwardian-era London. Rafe Spall and Poldark’s Eleanor Tomlinson are the unconventional couple fighting to survive a genuinely scary alien invasion, supported by Rupert Graves and Robert Carlyle. Adapted by Doctor Who writer Peter Harness, it’s more period horror than Tom Cruise cheese-fest.
