J.J. Abrams Will Make the Earth Tremble!

August 12, 2008

Producer J.J. Abrams and screenwriter David Seltzer (The Omen) are working together to make a disaster film for Universal involving an earthquake, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The trade says the project is untitled and not intended to be a remake of Universal's 1974 movie Earthquake.

Details of the story are being kept under wraps, though as is Abrams' modus operandi, relationships will be at the core of the project.

Abrams is producing with Bryan Burk and Sherryl Clark via the trio's Bad Robot production company.

Abrams is finishing up directing Star Trek for its May 8, 2009 release. At the moment, he only plans to produce the earthquake film.

lol, I'm totally with Armyofrobots. If this Earthquake movie is even HALF as much of a thrill ride as Cloverfield was, then I'm completely down for it!

When i saw the title of this article my heart skipped a beat because for second there it sounded like it could be a new cloverfield movie or at least a new monster movie. I am dissapointed a little bit but im sure this movie will be good to but deep down im hoping this movie is actually a cover for another cloverfield or that maybe the earthquake is actually caused by a monster attack, that would be awesome. Now im rambling, I love J.J.Abrams and I hope this will be a great movie.
