Steven Spielberg's 2005 version, War of the Worlds, although an adaptation of the Wells novel, has several references to the 1953 film. Gene Barry and Ann Robinson have cameo appearances near the end, and the invading aliens have three-fingered hands but are reptilian, walking tripods. A long, snaking, alien camera probe is deployed by the invaders. [38] In his 2018 film Ready Player One, Spielberg included a fallen Martian war machine more akin to the 1953 film.

In den Zeiten, in denen jeder Tag der Letzte sein kann, verlieben sich die Menschen besonders schnell (haben Sie das auch bemerkt?). Sylvia van Buren (Ann Robinson) ist die Nichte des Rev. Matthew Collins (Lewis Martin), andere wissenschaftliche Fähigkeiten besitzt sie nicht. Naja, die Schönheit ist auch wichtig. Und eine solche Schauspielerin brauchte damals wie heute fast jeder Film. Leichter die schlimmen Szenen durchzustehen... In all den Jahren waren keine Besucher (oder, man sagt uns nicht) aus dem All da. Wir haben es erforscht, und tun es noch immer...Dabei vergessen wir öfter auf die einzige GROßE Wohnung, die wir haben - auf die ERDE.
