Incidentally, there's a British based version in production which will actually be based on the HG Wells novel. Contrary to the review on the IMdB, the UK version pre-dates the Tom Cruise version.

I think some of you are confusing news of a "close to the Book" version and a British version as one-and-the-same.
There was an American TV Movie version that was completed not so long ago, and that apparently stayed close to the book, and I think was partly shot in this country.
The rights holders to the Geoff Wayne ( appologies if I have spelt the name wrong ) 1970's musical version are also seeking funding for an Computer Generated animated version of the album. I think they have Sony interested.
sorry WaldoMcFroog, then that makes 4 recent versions produced or in pre-production.
siratalmusta, the trailer and teaser trailers are online

Isn't it about time the americans stopped making their own versions and made a proper version.
I for one am getting a little fed up with these US films that bare no resemblance to the book but have the gall to nick the title.. Whats wrong with them. Is it because it is a great story by a british writer.
If they want to make alien films fine, but in future Hollywood if your not going to do it right then don't do it at all.

The whole point of the H.G Wells story is that man is powerless to stop the martians but in the end something as tiny and insignificant as bactria can.
There are bound to be missles abound in this one with America saving the day.
