Trivia:
Ray's horror at discovering ash all over himself after stumbling home was influenced by September Eleventh survivor stories. There are very few panoramic images in this movie. Almost all shots, also during the tripod attacks, were filmed with the camera set at a person's eye-sight. This manner of filming was influenced by the amateur footage of the terrorist attacks on New York City of 11 September 2001. `~1572~`'s sixth consecutive film to break the $100m barrier domestically since 2000 and his 13th movie to break that barrier in total. While filming nearby, `~1572~`, along with a 20-member entourage, including `~943~`, visited a Lexington, Virginia, Dairy Queen. Cruise saw a jar on the counter with a photo of `~Ashley Flint~` and her story. Flint was in a go-cart accident a few months earlier, leaving her family with a mountain of hospital bills. Cruise put $5000 cash into the jar. The opening voiceover monologue paraphrases and updates the first paragraph from `~12414~`'s novel. For example, "19th century" is changed to "21st century". Had a 72-day shooting schedule. This was the same amount of time used for `~943~`'s previous movies, @%Schindler's List%@ and !~indy_1~!~Raiders of the Lost Ark~!. The crew started filming only seven months prior to its release. In order to finish all 500+ CGI effects, `~943~` did all the big action scenes in the early stages of shooting. The tripod design for the alien machines is based on `~12414~`' original description from his book, including the heat rays at the ends of arms. The "red weed" is also from the novel, as is the alien "need" for humans. The words "alien" and "Martian" are never spoken in the movie. This is one of the first movies to show The United States Marine Corps new MARPAT digital camouflage uniforms, as well as the Interceptor body armor vests used by all branches of the US military. According to an interview with `~8380~`, she originally turned down the part offered by `~943~` as she was newly pregnant. However, Spielberg wanted her to play the part and changed the script to incorporate her pregnancy into the role. When the aliens are investigating the junk in the basement, one of them plays with a bicycle wheel. This is tied to the original book when the main character observes that, with all the advanced technology the aliens possess, they don't use any wheels, and wonders if the alien life form had skipped the invention of the wheel. During the filming of the underwater scenes (where the ferry capsizes) `~943~` played a prank on `~1572~` and `~4634~` by playing the dramatic music from @%Jaws%@ (also one of Spielberg's films) through the massive underwater speakers on the sound stage. `~12419~`'s final film. He also appeared in the original 1953 film @%The War of the Worlds%@ as Dr. Clayton Forrester.
