Steven Spielberg to Direct ‘Robopocalypse’ from ‘Cloverfield’ Writer?
Having just watched E.T. and Jaws for the upteenth time, I couldn’t help but wonder when Steve Spielberg was gonna get me all excited again. It looks like I won’t be waiting long as THE premiere director could be getting dropping his hat in the ring for Robopocalypse, an adaptation of Daniel H Wilson epic about the human race’s attempt to survive an apocalyptic robot uprising, reports Deadline. Cloverfield writer Drew Goddard, who also directed MGM’s forthcoming The Cabin in the Woods, is penning the adaption. Wilson hasn’t finished the book yet, but word is Goddard has gotten underway and that it’s a serious candidate. My only question is how do you do this cooler and different than Terminator and Matrix? This is a TALL order if you ask me. I pray that Spielberg abandons The Adventures of Tin Tin: The Secret of the Unicorn; who the hell wants to see that?!“You will never be better than me.”
In the wake of this week’s brand new trailer, Ishana Night Shyamalan’s upcoming horror movie The Watchers once again has a new release date. And as the headline of this article suggests, New Line Cinema has moved it back to its original release date. Say what?!
The Watchers had originally been set for theatrical release on June 7 before being recently bumped to June 14. But we’ve learned tonight that it’s been moved back into the June 7 slot.
That’s Hollywood for ya. In any event, watch this week’s new trailer below.

The film follows Mina, a 28-year-old artist, who gets stranded in an expansive, untouched forest in western Ireland. When Mina finds shelter, she unknowingly becomes trapped alongside three strangers who are watched and stalked by mysterious creatures each night.

The upcoming mystery-horror film is produced by M. Night Shyamalan, Ashwin Rajan and Nimitt Mankad. The executive producers are Jo Homewood and Stephen Dembitzer.
