After a bit of searching, Columbia Pictures has convinced Wolfgang Petersen to direct their upcoming sci-fi thriller Uprising.
Wolfgang Petersen to Direct Uprising
Uprising revolves around the resistance efforts of some citizens after Earth has been occupied by a powerful alien race. Wait a sec - I have heard of this before. Can somebody say Battlefield Earth?
Petersen will direct off a script by Blood Diamond scribe Charles Leavitt.
Columbia president Doug Belgrad said Wolfgang Petersen is "just the right director to handle Uprising's mix of action, suspense and drama."
I haven't been happy with some of Petersen's latest work. Poseidon was a horrendous remake and Troy didn't exactly nail The Illiad.
