Over the past two weeks we’ve been getting teased about a brand new movie from FX specialist Patrick Tatopoulos entitled Nonstop. It was reported that DreamWorks was in talks to pickup the Cloverfield-esque project scripted by Michael Gilvary (Greta, Devil to Pay). Today the first details were revealed and can be found by reading beyond the break. Tatopoulos directed the popular Underworld: Rise of the Lycans for Sony Screen Gems.
DreamWorks has abducted the sci-fi action thriller “Nonstop” from scribe Michael Gilvary. “Underworld: Rise of the Lycans” helmer Patrick Tatopoulos is attached to direct, and Len Wiseman is producing, writes the Hollywood Reporter.
ICM, which reps all threee, packaged the project.
The original story line follows the passengers of Flight 209 after their plane is mysteriously abducted by an alien ship.
The trio went out with the package last week. DreamWorks execs Mark Sourian and Jonathan Eirich are overseeing for the studio.
Wiseman directed “Underworld,” “Underworld: Evolution” and “Live Free or Die Hard.” He is also attached to direct “Motorcade” and “Atlantis Rising” for DreamWorks.
Tatopoulos has long been a production and creature designer on movies such as “Godzilla,” “I, Robot,” “Live Free or Die Hard” and the “Underworld” films.
Gilvary, who is also repped by Alison Rosenzweig Films, penned the script for “Greta” and has “Devil to Pay” in development at Lionsgate.
