I am – Hercules!!


J.J. Abrams, who has plenty of disaster-movie experience via "Armageddon" and "Cloverfield," wants to make a new Universal earthquake movie -- and he wants David Seltzer ("Lucas," "Punchline," "Bird on a Wire," the 1976 and 2006 versions of “The Omen”) to script it.

Universal also released 1974's Charlton Heston vehicle, but the new project is not being billed as a remake.

No director is set. Presumably the project was set in motion by the shaker that hit Greater Los Angeles two weeks ago?
