War of the Worlds has been one of my favourite books of all time since I was a kid, and while I did enjoy both the Hollywood movie interpretations, neither were really faithful adaptions; both changed the setting to contemporary America, and a lot of keys scenes and characters were changed for the worse and/or omitted, including two of my favourites, the Thunderchild fight and the climax.
It's too early to say for sure, but the fact this one appears to be set in turn-of-the-century England is a promising sign that it could be a truly faithful screen adaption at last. I'm cautiously optimistic.
