Well, he left HARVEY remake, OLDBOY remake is not happening either.. that MATT HELM project may or may not be a candidate, so far he’s only producing the Martin Luther King Jr. biopic.. we are waiting for TINTIN, but what will the great Steven Spielberg direct next? Deadline might have a clue…
Back in November DreamWorks Studios and Doubleday bought, in a pre-emptive deal, the rights to Daniel H. Wilson’s unpublished manuscript titled ROBOPOCALYPSE, a man vs. machine cautionary tale that explores the fate of the human race following a robot uprising.
Keep in mind that this is still on its way to being published and yet Mark Sourian and Holly Bario, Dreamworks Co-Presidents of Production are already loving the potential and prospect that ROBOPOCALYPSE has for the big screen.
DreamWorks is putting the project into accelerated development.
Meanwhile, the book itself will be published in 2011.
And so the studio now has hired Drew Goddard (Cloverfield) to write the script for the adaptation even though Wilson isn’t finished with the book yet. The project is a serious candidate for Spielberg’s next directing job.
