I think it probably is War of the Worlds. Check out the meta tags in the source.

WOO! War of the worlds ARG! ^_^ this might be interesting.

one thing about the image - It is actually two images - the second one has orange highlights (flame) on it.

If you look at the first pic a little closer, you can see smoke coming off of it. And when you keep refreshing, you get one picture sometimes, and the other picture the other times, so could there be some code in this. Maybe a pattern it follows that will give us something?

theres no pattern, the 2 images r randomly chosen by a bit of javascript

...i just wonder if the glyphs say something, probly a little tricky with such a small sample

Interested by this one since I didn't get into The Beast. Hope it's by the same people (if it is an ARG). Where did the trailhead come from anyway? Are there clues in the trailer yet?

Thought it might be a simple case of mirroring the text in Photoshop somehow. It does frustratingly look like a word if you squint your eyes. Just not one I can figure out.

Then again, if it's just a placeholder graphic, maybe going too far too soon...

It is about time something turned up for WOTW. I could not comprehend how the great-grandfater of ARGs (see Orson Wells) being made into a movie by the grandfather of ARGs and there not be an ARG for it.
