Spielberg invades Bayonne

Boston target or what?

Comments of a reader on source of Prospect Park statue


I just happened upon your website dedicated to Spielberg's new War Of The Worlds film. Your considerable, yet completely baseless, contemplation that part of the film is based on the destruction of Boston, Massachusetts is just totally wrong. Your site is interesting until you get into that wacky idea. Boston has NOTHING to do with the film version, Spielberg never filmed in Boston -- and more importantly -- never recreated any statue, section, or part of downtown Boston or its suburbs for the film. Not only that, to say that Spielberg was going to depict the destruction of the city of Boston in part by showing a Minuteman statue, is absurd. The Minuteman Statue, famous as an iconic point of interest for tourists, is in Lexington, MA - miles and miles outside the city of Boston. It is a distant suburb. Boston is nowhere near the site. The statue that may or may not be used in the site is actually a film recreation of a RECREATED, actual statue that is in Central Park in Manhattan -- a statue that honors the original Minuteman Statue in Lexington, MA. Spielberg, if he ever saw your site (or if anyone associated with the film read your stuff) would get a b ig laugh out of your ridiculous theories!
