gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-12-26 15:00:55

Even before War of the Worlds entered the public domain a decade ago, H.G. Wells’ alien-invasion tale had been adapted over and over. Steven Spielberg’s 2005 movie is probably the best-remembered cinematic version, though Orson Welles’ 1938 radio broadcast, said to have sparked panic among more gullible listeners, is still the most famous. A new version has arrived this week, directed by Rich Lee (making his feature debut after many music videos and commercials) and starring Ice Cube. Set very
