Is Spielberg ready to take on Robopocalypse now?


A how-to guide to surviving a robot uprising could be the next film on Steven Spielberg's slate, according to reports today.

Yes, I know, this is all speculation, but the news was first broken by the very reliable Deadline Hollywood in March and now Vulture weighs in with some insider quotes.

According to Vulture's story, Spielberg is very seriously considering making Robopocalypse his next film. Based on the novel by Daniel H Wilson, the screenplay is being penned by Drew Goddard (Cloverfield and the in-limbo Cabin in the Woods).

A source told Vulture: “With DreamWorks, everything is potentially a Steven project - until it’s not. That’s why everyone’s in a frenzy trying to read it.”

The concept sounds like it could make a very cool film - although does it sound a little too much like AI? Has Spielberg already done his robot thang with AI and also, to a certain degree, with Transformers?

Definitely one to keep an eye on though...
