Also, if you would like to see Kid from Kid and Play acting again. Yep, he's in it.
What the hell? The original WOTW was a groundbreaking Science Fiction masterpiece that was absolutely unfit for any type of sequel. It was a standalone narrative about the nature of human life and human struggle, with an excellent "twist" when the invaders *SPOILER* fell prey to basic microbial predators that we, as humans, have long become immune to. /spoiler

I fail to see how any kind of sequel/prequel/spinoff could have been anything but a blatant attempt at money grubbing blasphemy.
