War of the Worlds sequel?
I have to put this down to hype, I mean really, can they make a sequel to this movie? Okay, that's a daft question there can always be sequels made, but what would the story possibly be? Sure the invasion could happen again, but just concentrate on the family once more? I don't think that would work, and I just don't see Steven Spielbergmaking a sequel to this before he considers a Jaws remake - he's already been quoted as saying he would consider it.
Still, thanks to Chris for pointing me to this story from Bloody Disgusting through Eve of the War, a War of the Worlds site.
"Scooper Milk Duds writes..."I just saw an interview with Dakota Fanning on Larry King, who said there will definitely be a sequel to "War of the Worlds," 'I bet we do! I bet we do!' she smiled, as if knowing something, 'I can't wait. I don't know when it'll be, but it will be even scarier... this movie was so much fun. I love Tom.'"
Mmm, not so sure how solid a source Fanning would be, and it's way too early, plus have you seen the workload of Spielberg of late? Good idea \ bad idea?

Don't forget... there was a sequel book made. Most people don't realize that.

Hmmm...
"War of the Worlds 2: War Harder"?
"War of the Worlds 2: The Worldening"?
"War of the Worlds 2: This Time It's Personal"?
"Son of War of the Worlds"?
The possibilities are endless...

What an absolute piece of crap War of the Worlds was.
Get the original. Watch it late at night, alone, in the dark.

A Sequelk? of what? The first one didn't have enough in it to make it watchable, a sequel of shite will be very-shite. I want to know where i can apply to get my time and money back.
Recipe for a crap movie:
1. Take a excellent idea and story.
2. Spend as much money as possible on CGI, exotic locations, etc
3. Pay stupid money for somebody to act as themself.
4. Find a world renowned director
Mix the story, cgi and other ingredients in a glass bowl, add to a pre-heated pan. Bring the crap movie to a slow boil, ask cruisy-boy to act as himself, film the effects and release. Then spend a complete fortune on marketing and hype and hey presto another rubbish hollywood "off-the-factory-floor" movie. zzzzzzzzzzzz.
NOTE: to movie-makers. Some of us can think!
