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.

Well with the below trailer supposedly attached to The Dark Knight, which it wasn’t on my screening, it was sure to hit the net as soon as it was completed. Terminator Salvation expands on the storyline we have all come to love, minus that last crap known as 3.

Set in post-apocalyptic 2018, John Connor (Bale) is the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet’s operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind

Terminator Salvation arrives in theaters next summer on May 22nd, 2009.

28 Days Later x Mad Max (Escape From New York) + Lara Croft = Doomsday

Sound cool? Hell yeah it does.

Neil Marshall is one of those directors that I will watch anything he does just because he did it (there are only a few of those). Every since a buddy lent me a copy of Dog Soldiers (British soldiers fighting werewolves) about five years ago I’ve been a fan. He doesn’t have a huge body of work, but what he’s got speaks for itself (he also wrote and directed The Descent).

So what is Doomsday? Well, a virus wipes out millions so “they” decide to build a wall around Scotland and ship everyone that’s infected inside the walls and leave them to die. Man, they really fucking hate Scotland over there. 25 years later the virus is spreading again and “they’ve” seen that people inside the wall are still living, meaning the virus has a cure (or a resistant strain). Enter Rhona Mitra, (who looks enough like Kate Beckinsale that she is taking over the lead in the Underworld films) as a scientist, soldier, ??? (does it matter?) as the leader of a team of soldiers heading into the quarantined land to find this cure. Oooops, it’s now a post-apocalyptic living hell (Mad Max, Escape From New York) and the residents are not happy with the people that left them there to die.

With a cast of actors like Bob Hoskins, Malcolm McDowell, Sean Pertwee and of course Ms. Mitra, and such an exciting director behind the lens this is one that will have me in the theater, chomping down on my popcorn and snow-caps on opening day.
