Fox Hires Len Wiseman For Vaguely Post-Apocalyptic Purposes!

Beaks here...

In 2003, he made vampires and werewolves fight. In 2007, he made John McClane boring.

In 2011-ish, Len Wiseman will make another movie because Fox just doesn't give a shit.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the studio that exists to exasperate has snatched up Wiseman's pitch about a bunch of people who survive the apocalypse. The hook? There's "mystery surrounding how they got into that position". Spoiler: They were fucking Catherine Mary Stewart in a projection booth.

The project is currently carrying the ponderous title of NOCTURNE (which all but guarantees that this lovely Chopin composition will be travestied once again), and it joins ATLANTIS RISING and SHRAPNEL on Wiseman's crowded dance card. I dream every night of a world where all three can be made.

There are no writers currently attached to Nocturne. Wiseman most recently produced the third film in the (possibly) ongoing UNDERWORLD series. He's also kinda tall and goes to the gym a lot.
