In what time period does the film take place?
The latest WOTW movie is said to have no relation whatsoever (other than
the Martians) to the famous classic film of the same name that opened in
1953. While the earlier version took place in Los Angeles, the modern
version will showcase the invasion in a "working-class environment" in
the New England area according to WOTW screenwriter David Koepp. Koepp
felt that it "would be very interesting" to put the film in a "rusting,
industrial America-look".
