But! but but but.....actually, I'm a little nervous about this. H.G. Wells is one of my favorite authors, and I really like "War of the worlds". Original movie is classic now, but it's still good to me. When I saw remake version of Time Machine, I got shock! Opening sequences were terrible.
I hope Spielberg and Cruise version would be successful.

That's the official jargon for remake! Giving Cruise a family and all that is fine but I like the straightforwardness of the Gene Barry version. It seemed more realistic especially after having heard stories regarding the Welles radio version.
Spielberg generally does a fine turn with science fiction , so I am hopeful. (Even through Minority Report wasn't very good. )
Maybe it's just Cruise who seems to be searching for another "look at what I can do" role. (Collateral fell into this category)
Anyway, since this was fast tracked, it will be interesting to see whether or not this is any good. Its tentatively slated for late next year.
