Tim Burton Developing Monsterpocalypse
Tim Burton already has new project bookmarked, the movie version of monster-battling game Monsterpocalypse.
We already learned that John August is involved with this project, and that’s not such a surprise, since he’s been working with Burton for years writing up the scripts for films like Corpse Bride, Big Fish and the upcoming Frankenweenie movie.
But, thanks to /Film, we finally have some details about the whole thing straight from producer Roy Lee, and we’re here to share them with you.
Here’s what Lee had to say about the plot:
“The general take on the film that I can give you is that the giant monsters come to earth and start wreaking havoc. The humans, at this point, fight back. And they feel like they’ve destroyed them, but they quickly learn that the monsters that come had actually not died and just sort of burrowed underground and are sending some sort of signal into space.
Apparently, it is probably going to be a distress signal. So the humans know that something is going to be coming, they just don’t know what yet. And they know how big these monsters can be. Then it cuts to many years later when nothing has come back, but the humans have prepared for possible monsters coming back.

And when we say great, we mean really great! Because this project already includes Nicolas Cage, Billy Burke, Amber Heard, William Fichtner, Katy Mixon and Kaley Cuoco. How about that?
Definitely sounds like something interesting is coming to the big screens, and thanks to guys from Collider, who are carefully looking at this project, we’re here today to share some details about the story that:
“centers on a man driven by rage (Nicolas Cage) who is chasing the people who killed his daughter and kidnapped her baby. The vendetta/rescue spins out of control as the chase gets bloodier by the mile, leaving bodies strewn along the highway.”
Nicolas Cage stars as Milton, character he already described as: “…a protector of children when something horrific is about to happen to children, he is awakened from the abyss and I like characters that have supernatural aspects to them because I feel like you can do more with them.”
Along for the ride is Amber Heard as diner waitress Piper. Lovely actress described her character this way: “She’s this bad-mouthed, chain-smoking kind of vigilante of the movie. She’s got a lot of spirit and a lot of spunk. A lot of balls, I guess you could say. “

Sam Raimi is attached to direct Radical Comics’ Earp: Saints for Sinners, project that’s already being described as “a modern-day re-imagining of Western hero Wyatt Earp fighting outlaws in a ravaged society where the only boomtown left is Las Vegas.”
