Ooooooooohhhh !
Earlier today, the BBC announced a number of new shows, including a three-part series based on H.G. Wells’ novel The War of the Worlds. The show is scheduled to go into production next spring, and it appears that, unlike most modern adaptations, it will be set in the Victorian era.
The series will be written by screenwriter Peter Harness, who adapted Susanna Clarke’s Victorian-era fantasy novel Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell for the network, as well as a handful of Doctor Who episodes. The North-West Evening Mail has some additional details, quoting Mammoth Studios Managing Director of Productions Damien Timmer as saying that while the film has been adapted many times, “no one has ever attempted to follow Wells and locate the story in Dorking at the turn of the last century.” The project was first announced in 2015, and today’s confirmation of production comes only months after the book entered the public domain.

They're prepping people for the false flag "alien invasion". Got to get them in the right mindset.
ReplyDeleteSplendid!
ReplyDelete... I think they're prepping us for a post-Brexit dystopia, though the vampiric aliens in walking machines is perhaps a little overkill. :)
ReplyDeleteI thought that we are already in "dystopia reality" . Well, learning something new every day...😋
ReplyDeleteTouché. :)
