Those damn aliens and their damn invasion plans. Why can’t they just leave us alone? You don’t see humanity going around trying to invade other planets, do you? Okay, okay, that’s probably because we still can’t do more than fly to the moon, since as we all know, if humans ever mastered intergalactic space travel, I’m pretty sure we’d be “colonizing” worlds by now in the name of humanity. So, yeah, it sorta kinda makes sense that other races would be prone to invading us. The latest invasion plans come from Summit Entertainment and “Hostel” director Eli Roth, who have snapped up a spec script called “Invasion” from writer Ben Magid.
Plot details are being kept under wraps at this time, however, we know the film opens with a wicked subway accident in Los Angeles in which the survivors (the film’s protagonists) climb from the wreckage to find the now “snowy” city in ruins. What they encounter topside is bodies, mobs of people in a state of panic and acidic “goo.”
The film is being described as “Cloverfield”-esque. Hopefully that won’t mean they’ll go the handheld camera shaking until you puke route.
Eli Roth and Eric Newman will produce the film. Roth, meanwhile, is still at work developing his “Endangered Species”, which is also being described as an alien-themed film.
The only thing Eli Roth likes more than aliens? Cutting himself. Guy's got a problem, what can I say.
