War of the Worlds (2005 film)

War of the Worlds is a 2005 American science fiction disaster film directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Josh Friedman and David Koepp, loosely based on the novel of the same title by H. G. Wells. It stars Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, Justin Chatwin, Miranda Otto and Tim Robbins, with narration by Morgan Freeman. In the film, an American dock worker is forced to look after his children, from whom he lives separately, and struggles to protect them and reunite them with their mother when extraterrestrials invade the Earth and devastate cities with towering war machines.

The film was shot in 73 days, using five different sound stages as well as locations in California, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and Virginia. The film was surrounded by a secrecy campaign so few details would be leaked before its release. Tie-in promotions were made with several companies, including Hitachi. The film was released in the United States on June 29 and in United Kingdom on July 1. War of the Worlds was a box office success, and became 2005's fourth most successful film both domestically, with $234 million in North America, and $591 million overall. At the time of War of the Worlds release, it was the highest-grossing film starring Tom Cruise.

War Of The Worlds

by: Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly

If this is the war of the worlds,
Then I don't want to be a part.
If this is the war of the worlds,
Then I don't want to be a part.
Too busy, too busy, too busy
To talk, you said I wouldn't know.
Too busy, too busy, too busy
To understand its time to go.
And so the next time
that you need me don't expect a call.
And this is the weight of the worlds,
I think it's time for us to part.
And this is the weight of the worlds,
I think it's time for us to part.
Too busy, too busy, too busy
to talk, you said I wouldn't know.
Too busy, too busy, too busy
To understand it's time to go.
And so the next time
that you need me don't expect a call.
And we're willing
to waste away, like this.
When everything's gone okay
till you've gone a miss.
And all I could be,
everything you want me to be.
But we haven't spoke in days,
Yet in fact it's been a matter of weeks.
And so the next time
