War of the Worlds The True Story (New DVD Release 2013) What if the Earth/Mars battle from H.G. Wells' classic novel The War of the Worlds wasn't fiction but actually fact? That's the story of WAR OF THE WORLDS THE TRUE STORY, 85th Academy Awards Oscar contender

What if the Earth/Mars battle from H.G. Wells' classic novel The War of the Worlds wasn't fiction but actually fact? That's the story of WAR OF THE WORLDS THE TRUE STORY, 85th Academy Awards Oscar contender. Like the famous 1938 Orson Welles radio broadcast that caused Americans to believe an actual invasion was in progress, the movie assumes an Earth/Mars War in 1900 actaully occured and is presented as the first hand memoir of journalist Bertie Wells, the last living survivor as he struggles to find his wife amidst the destruction of humankind at the hands of terrifying alien invaders.
 



The movie uniquely uses CUTTING EDGE VISUAL EFFECTS to blend a modern cast with BATTALIONS OF ACTUAL FIGHTING SOLDIERS, Golden Age Movie Stars, and previously undisclosed images of TENTACLED ALIEN CREATURES and their TEN-STORY HIGH, THREE-LEGGED FIGHTING MACHINES.

Movie WAR OF THE WORLDS THE TRUE STORY treats Wells' Martian invasion story as if it were real, new on DVD.

Pendragon Pictures announces the release of WAR OF THE WORLDS THE TRUE STORY on DVD, a critically acclaimed Oscar contender featuring epic battles, giant robotic walking war machines, heat-ray weapons, frightening alien creatures, human loss, love and the triumph of spirit.


Frank Sheck of The Hollywood Reporter called the movie, “Impressive,” and said, “Director/Editor Hines weaves the various styles of footage together in expert fashion." Critic Gary Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times said, "’War of the Worlds The True Story is clever like Wells. Hugely inventive and ambitious, a mock sci-fi docudrama packed with a truly impressive — and clever — mix of editing (a reported 3 1/2 years' worth), special effects, visual artistry and offbeat storytelling." And Steven Rose Jr. for the Sacramento Examiner said,  “’The True Story’ carries the suspense and drama of both the 1953 movie and Spielberg’s 2005 version but in a more realistic manner through its documentary style.”

WAR OF THE WORLDS THE TRUE STORY, like Wells' classic book that was presented as a news reporter's first hand memoir, and the famous 1938 Orson Welles radio broadcast that caused Americans to believe an actual invasion was in progress, the movie treats the invasion as reality.  WAR OF THE WORLDS THE TRUE STORY is presented as the eyewitness account of Bertie Wells, the last living survivor of the Earth/Mars War as he struggles to find his wife amidst the destruction of humankind at the hands of terrifying alien invaders.

Unrated, 97 minutes. Extras: The Special Effects of featurette, The Moviemakers Talk, Screening at Chapman University after conversation with Professor Allen Levy, best selling sci-fi fantasy author and father of Steampunk, James P. Blaylock, director Timothy Hines and the audience. Also Hi-Definition Trailer and TV spots.
