In the late 19th century, Alexander Hartdegen (played by Guy Pearce) invented a time machine that could take him 800,000 years into the future. There, he discovered that humanity had evolved into two races: the Eloi and the Morlocks... The legendary science fiction writer H.G. Wells wrote this classic novel "The Time Machine." In his time, he was referred to as "the man who could see the future." However, if he could truly see the future, H.G. Wells would be surprised to find that his most famous novel was adapted into a major film, not just once, but twice. Since the publication of Wells' novel over a hundred years ago, many things have changed, but Wells' vision of the future and the concept of time travel still hold a strong allure for audiences. The film's producer, Walter Parkes, commented: "Going back to the early 1960s, movies like '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea' and 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' sparked our boundless imagination, and the godfather of these films was George Pal's 1960 version of 'The Time Machine.' Today, the technology we have allows us to create a world that H.G. Wells imagined but could not bring to life, which is quite exciting. Of course, the basic plot of the story—Alexander, dressed in a vest, tie, and a coat, climbing into that beautifully handcrafted Victorian machine to travel into the future—still leaves a deep impression today, just as it did back then." It's hard to draw parallels to H.G. Wells with this new film. The director of the 2002 version of "The Time Machine" is Simon Wells, the great-grandson of the author. Despite the family connection, Simon Wells works in the animation industry and has gained some fame, particularly for co-directing the epic DreamWorks film "The Prince of Egypt," which was his first major work. In "The Time Machine," there are four distinct worlds. Wells portrays: "The first world is New York at the turn of the 20th century. We first arrive at a not-too-distant future—2030 to 2037. Finally, we reach a far future where we discover the idyllic world of the Eloi and the dark world of the Morlocks, which is somewhat reminiscent of Dante's hell. Each world has its unique visual style."
