The version I want to see is one set in 1898 England, just as it was in the book. We've never seen Wells' story adapted in full, largely because of the technical limitations of past eras. Besides, we've seen tons of movies where aliens massacre current society. A movie where they go after 19th century Englans would be unique and fresh...and it would do justice to the themes of Wells' story (which the Pal version while good in its own right, couldn't tap into).
