The Independence Day: Resurgence helmer will direct the science fiction disaster tale, Moonfall

With his Independence Day: Resurgence in theaters now, director Roland Emmerich is already gearing up for another science fiction disaster tale. According to a story today at Deadline, Emmerich has signed on to helm Moonfall, based on an original script by himself, Harald Kloser and Spencer Cohen. Kloser previously worked on the script to 2012 and has also maintained a creative partnership with Emmerich as a composer on the director’s last few projects.

Moonfall, likened in the initial report to a combination of 2012 and Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind, follows “an unlikely band of misfits who must unite to save humanity when the moon falls out of orbit and hurtles towards earth.”


Emmerich and Kloser are also attached to produce Moonfall, which is said to be on the fast track for development.

Freu mich schon auf den Emmerich Film in 10 Jahren, wenn er dann mal die ganze Milchstraße zerstört...imemr nur die Erde wird doch langweilig auf Dauer. ;)
