Petersen has Uprising next on the list

Troy and Poseidon director Wolfgang Petersen has a couple of projects in the wings as of recent, but it was unclear as to which one he would be taking on first. MTV Movies Blog got to corner the director and find out exactly what he’ll be enticed enough to tackle next. One of those on the list is Uprising, a science fiction tale that could be the next to get the green light.

Read some of the excerpts from the article below on his plans.:

“It’s a very big budget movie and also it’s a very unusual sci-fi concept because it shows the world being actually run by aliens that come to us — and not necessarily to destroy, but to organize and reorganize our lives, and to see how we react to that now,” he explained.

“It’s a very, very cool concept because it’s not really ever done before, that you really see a very intelligent race coming and conquering our planet. Not destroying the planet, just controlling the military institutions and… improving the life and the organization of Earth.” Petersen is fascinated by the idea that humans have never known anything other than human rule, and what that might mean “in terms of collaboration or fighting against [a dominant alien force].”

I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job. College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
