War Of The Worlds | BEHIND THE SCENES: Filming In Extraordinary Locations | FOX TV UK

“We had to helicopter the crew in and get them help them at 9,500 feet.”

Whilst filming and working in extreme, extraordinary and very real locations, the Executive Producers (Johnny Capps & Julian Murphy), the Director (Richard Clark), and the Production Designer (Richard Bullock) take us behind the scenes of the acting, design and mise en scene of War Of The Worlds.

Check out this exclusive footage as Melanie Lenihan, the make-up designer on set, transforms actors and actresses into dead bodies.

Remember when you were 8 years old and you smothered your face in white face paint for Halloween? Well um yeah this is nothing like that horrific make-up look… Melanie uses her post-apocalyptic palette to create gritty and realistic transformations.

Disclaimer: The post-apocalyptic palette is not available in your nearest Boots or Superdrug.

War Of The Worlds

This is a story of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances - but they are more than just victims in a brutal war.

When astronomers detect a transmission from another galaxy, it is definitive proof of intelligent extra-terrestrial life. The world’s population waits for further contact with bated breath. They do not have to wait long. Within days, mankind is all but wiped out by a devastating attack; pockets of humanity are left in an eerily deserted world.

As aliens hunt and kill those left alive, the survivors ask a burning question - who are these attackers and why are they hell-bent on our destruction? Emotional, cinematic and rooted in character, it is a unique marriage of human drama and the best science fiction. We will come to realise the alien’s savage attack on earth is not arbitrary; its seeds are being sown before our very eyes.

Set in present-day Europe, War Of The Worlds is a multi-faceted series, written and created by the #BAFTA award winner Howard Overman (#Misfits, #Merlin, #Crazyhead) based on the timeless story by H. G. Wells. It is being Executive Produced by Johnny Caaps, Julian Murphy, and Howard Overman through their company; Urban Myth Films.
