Spielberg, Cruise to remake 'War of the Worlds'
From Variety:
Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise will bring "The War of the Worlds" to the bigscreen, with Cruise expected to star.
Depending on how quickly the two get a "War of the Worlds" script they like, the sci-fi epic could start in late 2005. Spielberg is now completing work on "The Terminal" with Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
David Koepp will rewrite a Josh Friedman-penned first-draft script based on "War," the classic H.G. Wells alien-invasion novel.
...As a scribe, Koepp was the go-to guy for Spielberg on the first two "Jurassic Park" films. He also proved adept at large-canvas fare with "Spider-Man" and its sequel, and he most recently scripted and directed the Johnny Depp starrer "Secret Window."
