- In 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.
The 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 materialized 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. - Фільми й анімація
The Martian fighting machine being 400 feet tall means that its larger than Godzilla in GVK
393 feet tall in that film.
Not to mention, the Jeff Wayne's MFM is 4 times taller than even the ones from the original H.G. Wells novel, which are stated to be 100 feet tall.
Actually, yes and no- they're 400 feet at the knee joints, their full height is 500ish feet.
An animated War Of The Worlds movie sounds amazing.

Ive_been_asking_that_question_for_ten_years.jpg
Give me like 10 years, I plan on getting into the entertainment industry. I can make it happen.
@@00M_Clanks hurry it up then we could be dead in ten years, and I don’t care if I’m shot in the heart I’ll move it to the other side and I will see this movie!!!
@@00M_Clanks So will I.
Would've loved this, sad it was cancelled. Would be a dream to see the weird designs of the jeff wayne version and the rousing music on screen, no other adaptations have come close to doing the book justice
I'd never seen the Jeff Wayne's tripod design in motion before. I just imagined the "tentacle leg design" (original book art, 2005 film) as I couldn't think of a way for this design to move before.
Original book didn't have tentacle legs
@@fightingmachine2495 They're talking about on the art for the covers.
In the live shows you see them animated. The original 2006 one is on UA-cam, the closest thing we’ve got right now to a Jeff Wayne’s MVoWOTW movie.
In the book, they were explained as being very fast, and menacing as well. The Jeff Wayne's versions are slow, and cumbersome looking.
2005 was the year of the WOTWs
And more recently, 2019/2020 was too. Epic series, The BBC series, various well produced audio adaptions, another Asylum film adaption (with questionable quality) and a new series called Invasion that's inspired by WotW as well. Since becoming public domain, people are wanting to use it.
@@kesterfae5447 it can barely be called an adaptation, it's just horrible and near disgusting of how they did it
Its barely like the book and the way they made it a love story is just horrible, it make me wonder how this got scraped and that didn't
@@_Astral_Traveller_ Which one are you referring to? You mentioned a 'love story', so I assume you mean the BBC series? Relationships are a pretty common element throughout a number of adaptions but I will agree that their focus upon the human relationship drama was detrimental to the larger narrative. I wouldn't have minded the love story, since there is room to elaborate on the relationship between the book's narrator and wife, but the BBC sidelined far too much of the Martians, their presence and the invasion as a whole. Balance was needed. Even if they didn't have the budget for enough effects, they could have at least done some more rewrites to stick closer to the beats of the book.
@@kesterfae5447 yeah it was horrible to watch ngl
@@_Astral_Traveller_ I wasn't much impressed either. An utter shame that the BBC cocked it up on their own soil after all this wait. It had some good ideas to start off with. The slight artistic liberties it took first were unusual but not a deal breaker. Only the set ups they created had little to no pay offs. No meat. A wealth of rich content from the novel thrown out or reduced to background action or mere mentions in conversation, if that. Thats what many fans young and old wanted to see, mind boggling they didn't push to deliver that.
THIS IS AMEZING
BEST TRAILER EVER LIKE THEY SHOUD HAVE USED THIS AS JEFF WAYNES WAR OF THE WORLDS TRAILER
Nice.
Im guessing it hasn’t happened has it…. I don’t see it anywhere its been 3 years
The film was cancelled in 2006 and it is not going to be revived anytime soon. What CGI assets were already made for said animated film prior to its cancellation was re-used for the 2006-2009 stage shows. This is just a historical archive of what was released to public regarding the cancelled official Jeff Wayne's TWotW animated movie to prevent it from becoming lost media.
@@s452_Gojisaurus damn… but you never know, one day we could see the mighty machines in they’re glory
Tripod de 100 metros de atura 🤖👽
2008? Where is it?
The film was canceled due to a lack of investors willing to fund the movie. All the left over assets that were salvageable from the cancelled movie like the Martian Fighting Machine, Flying Machine, Handling Machine, and HMS Thunder Child CGI models were later repurposed for the 2006-2009 live arena stage tour's CGI backdrop animation.
what about live action jeff waynes war of the worlds
Not possible at the time as Paramount owned the live-action film and TV rights until 2016. The only reason Jeff Wayne was doing an animated film was because of a copyright trade deal he made with Paramount back in 2004. That deal was Jeff Wayne getting the animated film and TV rights in exchange for Paramount getting the international distribution, soundtrack, video game, and theme park rights for their 2005 Steven Spielberg film.
sad it didnt come out.....but i hope the martians wouldnt have won...sins humanity is WAY to stubborn to back down in the open
This sounds better than the actual album

A Jeff Wayne’s war of the worlds could be good... but I think an animated film would have been a bad idea. This is early cgi, but just the concept design looks awful.
well they could have don traditional 2d animation and the tripods would be CGI.
@@anthonyluetmer8499 Like the Iron Giant?
I strongly disagree.
@@anthonyluetmer8499 That could work.
