rico,

Thanks for the information. An 1898 setting could be very interesting- a greater contrast in Earth/Mars technologies. I think Spielberg would avoid the kind of distracting anachronmisms of "League of Extraodinary Gentlemen". The car looked like a 1987 glassfibre 1935 retro kit car with picture frame mouldings glued on it.

Reproducing old technologies and avoiding the temptation to update from a position of hindsight is very difficult and rarely well done. The English are better at it as so many scripts are still written in rooms without heating- and wiring from 1912.

Cheers,

Bambi B
