A project first revealed way back in September on the writers pre-strike memo, Variety has now confirmed that Wolfgang Petersen is indeed directing the sci-fi thriller Uprising for Columbia Pictures.

Douglas Wick and Lucy Fisher (Gladiator) are producing through their Sony-based Red Wagon shingle.

The story revolves around the resistance efforts of some citizens after Earth has been occupied by a powerful alien race.

Charles Leavitt (Blood Diamond) is writing the screenplay..

I like the sound of this, Peterson can be very good and the writers' last screenplay was great.

Sounds cool. Great director, great writer, great producers. Hopefully it will shape up into a great flick.

Sounds like a graphic novel, but is it an original idea?
