Jeff Wayne’s War of the World cancelled movie clips

Описание: In the Fall of 2004, Jeff Wayne announced that a $48 Million budget CGI animated film adaptation of his famous War of the Worlds Musical was in development and set for a Summer 2008 release.

This animated film would have been set in Victorian England and feature state of the art CGI, Motion Capture technology, and an original prequel segment which explains why the Martians invade Earth.

Development of the film got as far as a completed script, storyboards, & concept art. By the Summer of 2005, R&D footage of the Martian machines was posted on the official Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds website and 5 minutes of animation footage was privately shown at Collectormania 7.

However since then, the film hasn't materialised and all R&D footage of the film's Martian machines have been removed from the Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds website.

This video is to give fans of the Jeff Wayne musical a glimpse of what the film could have been.

All of the footage in this video is taken from the Deconstructing Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of 'The War of the Worlds' (2005) documentary and archived recordings of the Martian Handling & Flying Machine R&D test footage.

I thank s452 for posting a video where I got the majority of the clips.
