According to the screenwriter for the BBC’s new version of H.G. Wells classic novel, “The War of the Worlds,” the three-part series will give a whole new woke perspective that trashes religion, the idea of nationalism, and contains modern climate-change rhetoric as well as creating a female lead for what was a peripheral character in the original novel.
As The Sun reports, “Poldark” star Eleanor Tomlinson, playing Amy, not only gets a much-inflated part but also gets to read the classic introduction that was originally written for one of the two main male characters. That introduction has been read in different versions of the novel by three protean actors: Orson Welles, Richard Burton and Morgan Freeman.
