By: Pendragon Pictures Los Angeles, CA May 27, 2013 Pendragon Pictures announces the release of WAR OF THE WORLDS THE TRUE STORY on DVD, a critically acclaimed Oscar contender featuring epic battles, giant robotic walking war machines, heat-ray weapons, frightening alien creatures, human loss, love and the triumph of spirit. Years before Spielberg’s production of War of the Worlds, in 2001, another large budget movie of the H.G. Wells story was in the works. With a budget of $42 million and in negotiation with Charlize Theron and Michael Caine to star, the movie was abruptly halted along with a slew of action driven Hollywood pictures when the 9-11 terrorist attack occurred. Following the shutdown, Director Timothy Hines and producer partners Susan Goforth and Donovan Le spent more than a decade to remount the movie and bring their unique epic version of the H.G. Wells classic to the screen. Hines finally triumphs with his ambitious, breathtaking movie, WAR OF THE WORLDS THE TRUE STORY. Having played in select theaters across the United States to fan raves, critics’ praise, and qualifying as an Oscar contender for the 85th Academy Awards, the movie is available now on DVD at http://www.waroftheworldsthetruestory.com. Frank Sheck of The Hollywood Repoter called it, “Impressive,” WAR OF THE WORLDS THE TRUE STORY, like Wells' classic book that was presented as a news reporter's first hand memoir, and the famous 1938 Orson Welles radio broadcast that caused Americans to believe an actual invasion was in progress, the movie treats the invasion as reality. WAR OF THE WORLDS THE TRUE STORY is presented as the eyewitness account of Bertie Wells, the last living survivor of the Earth/Mars War as he struggles to find his wife amidst the destruction of humankind at the hands of terrifying alien invaders. Unrated, 97 minutes.
