Dinosaurs vs Aliens!

[Aesop Rocks]

Barry Sonnenfeld, finishing up his third Men in Black film, has come up with a new spin on the alien film genre. Sonnenfeld is at the center of a publishing/movie deal with Liquid Comics and producer Arnold Rifkin and his Cheyenne Enterprises. Sonnenfeld will team with comic book writer Grant Morrison to develop a graphic novel and movie under the title: Dominion: Dinosaurs Versus Aliens. Morrison, whose comic book work includes Batman and The Invisibles, will write both the graphic novel and the script. Sonnenfeld will direct the film.

While Sonnenfeld has scored his biggest commercial successes with aliens, he's also a dinosaur fanatic who sparked to the idea of combining them. "Growing up, my fascination was all things dinosaur, and as an adult, I've had some success making films about aliens, so this is a dream come true," said Sonnenfeld, who first met Liquid Comics founder Sharad Devarajan when he wrote a forward for one of Liquid's graphic novels. "We've been trying to do a project ever since."

The graphic novel will chronicle a secret prehistoric world war battle. When an alien invasion attacks Earth in the age of the dinosaurs, the planet's only hope is the giants that roam the planet with, it turns out, a lot more intelligence than previously realized. Sonnenfeld, Rifkin and Devarajan will produce, while Liquid cofounder Gotham Chopra will be executive producer. WME will package the film.

The graphic novel will be published later this year in print and digital formats. Artwork will be done by Liquid's Mukesh Singh, who teamed with Morrison on 18 Days. Morrison's repped by ICM.

This has potential to be a huge blockbuster.

 

[TX85]

This can go in so many ways,The biggest flop seen in years or most surprising summer(I'm assuming it'll be released in a summer)blockbuster!!!

 

[Boom]

I came everywhere.

 

[Orb]

This should be Jurassic park 4!!!

 

[SuperSoldier985]

This....

This is it.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Ugh! That is all.

 

[Motown Marvel]

i would roll my eyes at this if it werent for grant morrison's involvement.

 

[louiebling$]

I'm a sucker for Dinos

 

[Eddie Dean]

How amazing would this be if there was absolutely no dialogue?

 

[Timstuff]

We already had this idea when I was a kid. Except it was a lot more awesome.

 

[HaloCod27]

I’ve written a screenplayfor a new movie, and it’s almost finished. Its working title has been “TBA vs. Undecided”. I’ve even got a studio interested in producing a trilogy. All I have to do is decide who will be versus whom, then I will run a find and replace on the script, and then it will be ready.

Grant Morrison

 

[Boom]

How amazing would this be if there was absolutely no dialogue?

And no discernible plot of any kind. Just two hours of dinosaurs ****ing aliens up.

It'd be my favorite movie of all time.

Sign me up.

 

[Secret Fawful]

Watch Shia LeBeouf be cast and the whole movie be humans-centered with most of them shouting NO NO NO NO NO!

 

[TheDreamMaster]

This sounds awesome. The execution however is what I will need to see. If they can really pull of something close to real dinosaurs fighting aliens, awesome. If they go the cartoony, talking dinosaurs, then I'm not so sure.

 

[Bruce Malone]

How would the dinosaurs even put up a fight? With our technology today we'd easily kill off most dinosaurs let alone a more advanced space faring civilization.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

uhhhh...

i can only see this film working if it's CGI only, not live action

 

[JAK®]

uhhhh...

i can only see this film working if it's CGI only, not live action

No. I will only accept real dinosaurs, and real aliens. They should get Christopher Nolan to direct. He would do it.

 

[Ipodman]

I love dinosaurs... and depends on what kind of Aliens. I hope it's the Xenomorph

 

[:eek:]

Cowboys vs Aliens, Dinosaurs vs Aliens...

Now I'm waiting for Mega Shark vs Aliens...

 

[Catman]

I can't wait till Aliens vs. Sea Creatures.

 

[Hush]

This sounds awesome.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Cowboys vs Aliens, Dinosaurs vs Aliens...

Now I'm waiting for Mega Shark vs Aliens...

You just know that The Asylum is chomping at the bit to release Alienosaurus.
