Fredrik Bond to direct Year 12

The alien invasion genre is making a comeback in Hollywood. Just yesterday Skyline opened and Jonathan Liebesman’s Battle: Los Angeles opens next March. Now, The Wrap reports that Fredrick Bond is attached to direct Year 12.

While most films in the genre occur during the alien invasion, Year 12 will be set a dozen years afterwards. The film is“set in Manhattan, the story follows an underwater uranium miner who is recruited by the human resistance to smuggle uranium in his blood so they can use it to blow up the alien mothership.” Edward Ricourt wrote the script.

There’s no word on when the film will get around as it’s still looking for a new home after Paramount dropped it. Bond is also set to direct Hack/Slash and the Hollywood remake of The Host. It’s uncertain which of those projects will come first.
