Well, Steven Spielberg is busy once again. He's finishing up work on The Adventures of Tintin and War Horse, and he's just about to start filming on Lincoln, and already, he has ANOTHER project on the go!!
This is one he's been attached to for about a year now, and it sounds like a brilliant piece of sci-fi action, and should see Spielberg back making big summer entertainment once again!!
Robopocalypse is the name of the film, and the title alone makes it a must see!!
Robopocalypse is based upon a novel by Daniel H. Wilson, and it tells the story of humans trying to stay alive in a world where robots have taken over the world, after a scientist accidentally computer scientist unleashes a sentient artificial intelligence named Archos, and because this is a robot with a mind of it's own, it soon means death and destruction for the human race.
Judging by the plot, this film should make a quite dark antidote to the cloying sentimentality of Spielberg's own A.I. Artificial Intelligence, but it's perfect material for him, and already, even before preproduction or casting or anything like that has started, but already 20th Century Fox and DreamWorks Pictures have announced a worldwide release date of July 3rd 2013!!
Read about it here!!
It's good to have Spielberg back making films, and he's wasted no time in getting them made now, and this one will be a perfect addition to his CV, if anyone can do a big budget film about mankind meeting it's doom at the hands of super-intelligent robots, Spielberg is the man to do it!!
I know a Spielberg fan here who will be first in line to see this one!!
