I believe that the remake will take place in the time period of Wells' original story so there won't be any nuclear blasts and the Martian machines will be tripods, not the suacer like aircraft in the Pal movie.
Follow Ups:
If Spielberg is also faithful to setting and character
of the original story, then Cruise, whom I presume will play the
Maybury Hill protagonist, will need to brush up on his British accent.

rico,Thanks for the information. An 1898 setting could be very interesting- a greater contrast in Earth/Mars technologies. I think Spielberg would avoid the kind of distracting anachronmisms of "League of Extraodinary Gentlemen". The car looked like a 1987 glassfibre 1935 retro kit car with picture frame mouldings glued on it.
Reproducing old technologies and avoiding the temptation to update from a position of hindsight is very difficult and rarely well done. The English are better at it as so many scripts are still written in rooms without heating- and wiring from 1912.
Cheers,

If they stay true to the book then unfortunately, Richard Burton isn't around to do the voice-over for the main character as he did on Jeff Wayne's double-album production of War Of The Worlds. Too bad.And, I do hope the production team spends a LOT of time on the scenes with Thunderchild.
I vaguely remember a B$W British version of War of the Worlds, that was more faithfull to the original book.
