This is not a big-budget spectacle — it’s a raw, intimate, and authentic retelling that honors the spirit and vision of the original story, stripped down to its essential human drama.

Instead of flashy effects and massive set pieces, this film will focus on the core of Wells’ groundbreaking work: the tension, fear, and resilience of ordinary people facing an unimaginable alien invasion. Shot in a modern-day setting, the film will explore the emotional landscape of survival and hope through the eyes of just a handful of characters, all confined to limited locations.

By embracing improvisation and minimalist filmmaking, the project captures the indie spirit in full force: creativity and passion overcoming limitations. This film will invite audiences into an experience where imagination fills in the blanks, where suspense is built through sound, silence, and the characters’ emotional journeys, and where the true horror is what we can’t see.

My goal is to create a film that feels fresh and relevant but stays true to the visionary author who first imagined mankind’s vulnerability in the vast universe. This is a love letter to H.G. Wells’ genius and a testament to what indie cinema can achieve when driven by heart, resourcefulness, and respect for timeless stories.

Stay tuned for updates as we move forward with casting, shooting, and sharing this journey. If you’re as passionate about bold, honest storytelling as I am, you’re going to want to be part of this.

Welcome to the new War of the Worlds — stripped back, human, and unapologetically indie.
