He filmed the Herbert Wells novel War of the Worlds, changing only the duration of the action, but preserving the inner tension and poetics of the novelist. The picture paid off more than 5 times, in spite of (or thanks to) the huge sums that were spent on the scenery (tourists are still led by it) and special effects.
