That's exciting...I read the book when I was a kid, or I read most of it. The community aspect was so important, I hope Spielberg sticks to that.
WWPTAD?

Great teaser... I hope he doesn't over cheeze it because this one looks like it could be really good... it also looks kinda eightiesish in a cool way.

Yeah!  It totally does.  Felt like there were some Poltergeist vibes here.

With a dash of Close Encounters too.

He's so fucking shrewd!

Aside from Poltergeist & Close Encounters... looks like he's taking the global apocalyptic terror initiated by 28 Days Later and mixing it with the epic scale that only modern CGI offers (TLOTR). He's once again co-opting what's out there and staying a step ahead.

Am I the only one sensing its political subtext...

the teaser is really cool. The pics i've been seeing reminds me of Independce Day.

That can't be a good thing, can it?

I mean, it would be a bit of directorial misstep if, say, Spielberg ends War of the Worlds with Randy Quaid crashing his plane into the alien ship, while Tom Cruise cheers him from the ground.

alot of people consider his endings directorial missteps.  sadly, alot of people consider every one of his films directorial missteps.

Well i was thinking that the photo of Tom and the extras looking stright ahead most likely at an alien ship. Kinda looks like the same scene from Indep-d.
