First Men In The Moon - coming soon to BBC4 in the UK

[Thunderchicken]

For those of you who can get the UK's BBC4 they will be showing an adaptation of H.G Wells' First Men In The Moon. No date yet. Here's a link to the trailer:

There is another trailer running on the channel which shows a lot more Moon action. It'll certainly be worth a watch.

It looks to be somewhat of a comedy, no problem with that! Also is it me or do they have some part of music that sound a lot that the new sherlock holmes movie?

[Thunderchicken]

It is a BBC production so I wouuldn't expect a blockbuster  .

I thought the same when I heard the soundtrack, maybe it's just for the trailer.

Speaking of comedies I came across this too:

Reminds me of Timothy Hines 2005 version of WOTW:

Arhh, wonderful stuff written by and starring Mark Gatiss (who co wrote the new Sherlock Holmes series). It should be good.
And he sports a wonderful pair of mutton chops

I shall look forward to that, but I hate and despise "coming soon" adverts! Just give me a damned date!

I saw this particular War of the Worlds movie a few years ago...and thought it was terrible. The special effects are horrendous.

In that war of the worlds film, all i rememeber was the guy going to the pit to see the cradft and then back home and then back to the pick etc, shame they did not have mobile phones.. as for the rest of the film my minds a blank. could be a good thing

It's showing Tuesday the 19th for those of you who can get Beeb 4.
