BBC's 'The War Of The Worlds' Remake To Be Set In Victorian Britain
"The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one," we were once promised but now almost 120 years after the release of H. G. Wells' classic sci-fi novel, 'The War Of The Worlds' the BBC have announced they're working on a new version of the story set in Victorian Britain.


“I'm feeling phenomenally lucky to be writing 'The War Of The Worlds,' and blowing up gigantic swathes of the Home Counties at the dawn of the twentieth century. Wells’s book is ground zero for all modern science fiction, and like all the best sci-fi, manages to sneak in some pretty astonishing comments on what it is to be a human being too. I’m hoping to follow in the great man’s footsteps by making a terrifying, Martian-packed series which manages to be emotional, characterful, and - deep breath, dare I say it - even political at the same time.â€
“No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. No one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets and yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this Earth with envious eyes and slowly and surely they drew their plans against us.â€
