War of the Worlds

WOTW Game to be released on April 14th!

How cool! I can’t wait to play!!

SET TO DEBUT APRIL 14 ON WAROFTHEWORLDS.COM

HOLLYWOOD, CA, APRIL 12, 2005…… This summer, the earth goes to war… and online gamers will be on the front lines of the battle.

Leading up to the June 29th global release of Paramount Pictures’/DreamWorks Pictures’ “War of the Worlds,” directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Cruise, Paramount Pictures Interactive Marketing will debut a human survival online game at WarOfTheWorlds.com on April 14.

A human-survival game that echoes the themes and real world environments of the film, the game calls upon players to rescue survivors, collect objects, and escape danger in varying combinations. Players will try to escape maze-like boards while avoiding cataclysmic alien destruction. The game is free for users worldwide and will be available in seven different languages. Designed as both a single and multi-player game, the game’s objectives are scaled to the number of people playing; in addition, multi-player boards will require players to work together to complete their mission. In the weeks approaching the film’s release, additional maps – of increasing complication and difficulty – will become available.

War of the Worlds

WOTW Game Preview

UGO Games has a preview on the upcoming War of the Worlds:

Aliens are invading our precious Earth. Not just any, run-of-the-mill B-movie aliens, but aliens from the mind of arguably the greatest director in this galaxy or the next: Steven Spielberg. This FREE Internet exclusive game focuses on the terrifying survival aspects of this summer’s movie War of the Worlds. Spielberg has teamed up with Tom Cruise yet again for a movie that is bound to give the hordes of summer moviegoers the creeps and willies.

The game is an addicting, frantic race through a suburban world under siege by an intergalactic force of seemingly unstoppable might. Cars are destroyed, houses are reduced to cinders and the populace is afraid and confused. Although each mission has different objectives, they all share several goals in common. Players search the suburban wasteland for water, food and survivors. Once players gather everything they are required to, they then must safely reach the extraction zone.

    Steven on Tom and Tom on Steven

    Some quotes I’ve found from the guys about each other:

    IOL says Steven would have made WotW earlier if it wasn’t for Independence Day:
    “I said: ‘Oh man, this would make an amazing movie.’ When Independence Day came out I said: ‘Well, maybe I won’t make it,’ because they kind of picked the bones of that and put me off for a while.” But a desire to work with Hollywood hunk Tom Cruise brought back his urge to make the film. He adds: “I got interested in it again just in the course of trying to find something to do with Tom.”

    And Tom on working with Steven (ContactMusic.com):
    Tom Cruise has praised legendary director STEVEN SPIELBERG for always knowing exactly what he requires of his actors, so not a second is wasted on set.
    Cruise, who has teamed up with Spielberg on MINORITY REPORT and the upcoming WAR OF THE WORLDS remake, was surprised at just how economically the film-maker approaches his craft. He tells British magazine HOTDOG, “Steven just is fast. Some people think, ‘Well I gotta take a lot of time to figure this out.’ No. We show up on the set and he’s deadly accurate in his choices and the direction.”

    I guess these guys have a LOT of fun and satisfaction in their jobs working together! I wonder which project will be next!

    Death Race 3000

    Tom and his co-producer Paula Wagner are going to produce the movie “Death Race 3000”, a remake of the 1975 cult classic Death Race 2000. Empire Online:

    “Like all good exploitation films, it was a thickly disguised satire on corporate control of a nation’s love of bloodsport – like Rollerball (also 1975) without the boring talky bits, and a lot more visceral action… in this case, pedestrians being run over as a means of scoring points for the drivers. In a word, brilliant.
    The remake is being produced by Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner (so it’s going to attract a decent budget), Jeremy Bolt, Anderson, and the best news of all… Roger Corman! So if 3000 can stay true to 2000’s exploitation roots, we might have a bundle of fun on our hands. Don’t get your hopes too high just yet, though, as P.W.S. has already mentioned changes in tone. “The original was so much about decimating pedestrians that the actual race was almost irrelevant, and I want to restore that” he says. Oh, an apparently it’s not going to be set in the year 3000, either, updating only as far as 2020. ”

    M&C.com reports almost the same.
