"[H. G. Wells' novel] was a radio show, a movie, and there was a rock-and-roll musical version in the 70s... I wondered what ground had been left uncovered that we could possibly stake out as our own. After I reread it, thought, I was amazed to find that the best idea in the book was the one no one had ever used: this idea of showing a vast global event from a very limited perspective, only through the eyes of this unnamed narrator."
–David Koepp, from the Q&A
