Louis Leterrier to direct new sci-fi film G

The man who brought us the remake of Clash of the Titans has signed on to a secretive movie project with Universal called G.

A sci-fi disaster film with elements similar to both The Day After Tomorrow and Taken, its ‘man on a mission’ story follows a father searching for his lost child on an Earth that has stopped spinning and is losing its gravity. Still in the early stages of development, a screenwriter is now being sought to develop this interesting concept.

It seems the largely negative reviews of Clash of the Titans haven’t dented the director’s career, as he has another project on the cards in the meantime. Leterrier will be directing Now You See Me, a heist movie produced by in-demand screenwriting partners Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (Cowboys & Aliens, Star Trek, Transformers). This film involves a cat and mouse game between the FBI and a team of illusionists who carry out bank heists during their performances.

Louis Leterrier’s other screen credits include The Transporter, Unleashed, Transporter 2 and The Incredible Hulk.
