I'm surprised
I haven't kept up with the production but I'm nearly certain that I read it would be set in the original victorian period. I guess they changed their minds.
I have never seen a good scifi film set in the Wells, Verne era. They all seem to come out cheesy and like a TV mini-series.
I was looking forward to WOW in throw back but I will still want to see it.
For some bad scifi woth watching see the new Dawn of the Dead now out on dvd.
