When dinosaurs attack!
Until now, I never really knew what the ITV series Primeval was about. But now that I know, I’m gonna say it sounds a lot like the Topps Trading Card series “Dinosaurs Attack!” – the ridiculous follow-up to “Mars Attacks!”
The conceit is this: Wormholes open dumping dinosaurs and other beasties all over our modern world. A special ops team is formed to close the portals and destroy the creatures.
Warner Bros. is hip to the television show and has decided to turn it into a feature film. Akiva Goldsman and Kerry Foster will produce, the former is currently seeking a writer.
“There is a solid mythology to the series, but the movie has the dinosaur element of Jurassic Park and the time travel element of ‘Lost,’ and it just feels like the kind of big movie that Warner Bros. does well,” Foster tells Variety.
The thrust of the action will take place mostly in the U.S.
Goldsman is also overseeing Jonah Hex and the I Am Legend prequel.
