Len Wiseman, the man behind Underworld and Live Free or Die Hard, has signed on to direct and produce an untitled pitch that Fox has just grabbed the rights to.
Details (and screenwriters!) are scarce, but according to THR, “the project is based on an original idea about a group of people who survive the end of the world and the mystery surrounding how they got to that position. The studio is seeking writers for the project.”
Wiseman is currently in limbo at the moment, with his name attached to Schrapnel and Atlantis Rising, but no project in production. Seeing as how this post-apocalyptic project hasn’t even had the details fleshed out, I’d say we’re more likely to see one of those two projects coming to fruition first, or Wiseman stepping in for another director elsewhere.
I have conflicted thoughts about Wiseman. He seems to straddle a line between interesting action director and total studio hack, so I eye every project he’s attached to with caution.
