Director Wolfgang Petersen has signed on to direct the sci-fi thriller Uprising for Columbia Pictures.
Set in the future when an alien race has taken control of our beloved earth, the film tells the story of a group of earth’s citizens who lead the aforemetioned ‘uprising’ against the evil extra-terrestrials.
Petersen is ‘the right director to handle Uprising’s mix of action, suspense and drama,” Columbia head honcho Doug Belgrad says of the project. Obviously, someone needs to slide him a copy of Poseidon.
