Vor Kurzem bin ich darauf hingewiesen worden: Interview mit Alex Proyas
Auszug:
"Absolutely it’s set in Europe. We’re basically concentrating on the first book in the trilogy at the moment, The White Mountain, and we've kept the exact flow of geography that's in the book. Which is that basically they start off in England and then go across the channel to France. So that's all been preserved from the book."
...
"Our Tripods are going to be very different. Their centre of gravity is going to be much lower. Spielberg’s ones were very octopus-like; tall and gangly. Ours are going to be low to the ground, more crab-like, for want of a better description. They'll be much faster. They can actually climb stuff. There’s actually a bit in the script where the kids are pursued up the Eiffel Tower by one of the Tripods, which is kinda like scrambling over the tower essentially."

Ist aber auch schon etwas älter und veranlasst wohl nicht zu überschwänglicher Vorfreude, liest sich leider etwas wage.
