Earth's convicts in a Jupiter prison? What is THE DITCH?

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. So it looks like we're getting a sci-fi actioner from Warner Bros. They picked up a spec script by documentary filmmaker Sascha Penn in which we place all our baddest baddies in a prison built on Jupiter. It focuses on a prison guard whose family is taken hostage and he is forced to free the prison's most notorious terrorist who is on death row, so says Variety.

Sounds like it could fit in the Riddick series a little, doesn't it? As long as it's hardcore I'm game. Could be a really solid little fun flick in there, ya' think?
