Meeting Heat-Ray With Heavy Metal Cannons

Currently in production is an animated sequel to H.G. Wells’ iconic The War of the Worlds: War of the Worlds: Goliath (US-2010; dir. Joe Pearson) in which the invading Martians, renewing their attack after the first failed attempt in 1899, are met by an elite squad of fighters armed with giant steam-punk robots — the product of back-engineered and adapted Martian technology.

    It’s like a delicious steampunk reunion of Highlander: the Series, plus Jayne Cobb. And look at that gorgeous poster! I can’t wait. 🙂

    It’s like War of the Worlds 2: The Next Wave, only better and with more robot violence!
