Eli Roth's planning his own sci-fi movie called **Endangered Species, but that hasn't stoppped him from getting involved in another alien-themed project, called Invasion and written Ben Magid, according to the good people at Shock Till You Drop. That's not to be confused with either the Nicole Kidman film The Invasion, which we're doing our best to forget, or the TV series starring William Fichtner.
This one is described as Cloverfield-esque, opening with an accident in the Los Angeles underground (not the one The A-Team disappeared into though; the subway). The survivors emerge into a changed world, where snow is falling, the city's in ruins and survivors roam in mobs. Oh, and there are patches of (presumably alien) acidic goo all over the place, which never makes for a tropical destination hotspot.
Magid's also worked on the movie adaptation of Hack/Slash, and sold another original script in Pan, wherein Peter Pan is reimagined as a villain being hunted by a police captain called Hook. This sounds like an original twist on the alien invasion saga, so we're intrigued to see where it goes from here. Roth will produce with Eric Newman, but there's no word on a director yet. Suggestions please below.
