Michael Pena Faces Extinction
Nah, just kidding. Though the way things are going nowadays, you never know! What we’re talking about here is a new movie filled with pesky aliens looking to probe our asses into the netherworld.
According to Deadline, Michael Peña has been set to star in sci-fi thriller Extinction for Good Universe and Mandeville Films.
Ben Young, the helmer behind the gut-wrenchingly suspenseful tale Hounds of Love, will direct the title from a script by Spenser Cohen, Brad Caleb Kane, and Arrival scribe Eric Heisserer. Good Universe will launch the title to international buyers at the Berlin Film Festival next month.
The story follows a man who has a recurring dream of losing his family. His nightmare turns into a reality when the planet is invaded by a force bent on brutality and destruction. Fighting for their lives, he comes to realize an unknown strength to keep his family safe from harm.
Todd Lieberman and David Hoberman of Mandeville will produce. Alexander Young of Mandeville will executive produce alongside Nathan Kahane and Joe Drake of Good Universe. Erin Westerman will oversee for the company. Cohen’s producing partner, Anna Halberg, will serve as co-producer.
