The Collider:
The trailer for the Journey to the Center of the Earth sequel, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, makes the movie look cringe-worthy, but director Brad Peyton has already lined up another movie. Variety reports that Peyton has sold his sci-fi action pitch Invasion to Reel FX. J. Daniel Shaffer will write the script, which centers on “a group of unarmed and unprepared students from Philadelphia that find out they’ll have to become soldiers to survive an attack from a supernatural force.” So Red Dawn with aliens or ghosts or some such. Got it. It’s also being described as “Cloverfield-esque” and I hope that doesn’t mean “found-footage”.
Invasion Season 1 proves to be a character-driven, emotional and oftentimes tense sci-fi drama that leaves you wanting more.
Deadline
A feature film based on the popular Square Enix video game Just Cause is getting closer to reality and the plans are to make a big-screen franchise from it. Jason Momoa, who stars as Aquaman in the hotly anticipated Justice League and has his own spin-off film for the character, has signed on to star and Brad Peyton has stepped in to helm the feature film from a screenplay by John Collee (Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World). Both Momoa and Peyton have worked together before on Netflix’s Frontier. Peyton directed Warner Bros.’ San Andreas which ended up with a global box office take of $473.9M.

Welcome to the latest episode of Batman News: Twitter Detective! Since who is following who on Twitter has proven to mean something in the past, I thought
Another alien invasion with young people involved. I hope the plot is at least different or better than the last one, Darkest Hour, because there's just been too many invasion movies lately and we need something new and fresh.
