Hi 'pmx22984' and welcome to the forum :D

In the TV series they made the aliens much larger and heavier, I think it was so they could put a man in a rubber suit, I got the 2 disc DVD of Spielberg's new version for Christmas and on the second disc they talk about the 53 film, at the last moment before shooting the 'Martians hand on Sylvia's shoulder' scene, the Directer decided the Martian was too big, so the SFX Dept spent the Night remaking the ugly little guy but they didn't have time to remake the arms or hands, which is why the arms look too long for the body. :wink:

As Lonesome says. So they could put men in the suits. But ultimately because the people making it were morons. Because you could have had therm look exactly the same and still had men wearing them as costumes. Small men such as dwarfs. Also you could have just made them bigger and kept that as the only change. I also think that the origional 53 Martian although a design classic, is dated, when it comes to beleivabilty. The eye science doesn't realy work. So they may have changed it for that reason and to come up with something that they beleived was scarier than the 53 version.

I always found it peculiar that in the intro, they showed footage from the 1953 film of the alien hand, which then dissolved into a shot of a hand of the show's aliens. Yet, it was never addressed, neither on the show or in anything I've heard about the making of the series.
