Warner Buys Original SF Thriller
The Days Before is an original science fiction screenplay from newcomer Chad St. John that was just purchased by Warner Bros. Gianni Nunnari (300) will develop the project for the studio, according to Variety.
The trade says, the “story centers on aliens invading Earth by traveling backwards through time and wiping out humanity — yesterday by yesterday — while one man stays a yesterday ahead of them, trying to convince the world that the end is coming again.”
St. John previously wrote The Further Adventures of Doc Holiday for Bruce Willis, although it was never produced.
Hooray! It is possible for there to be original movies! I was starting to wondre betweent he re-makes, movies based on comic books and movies based on novels. I'll hold judgement until we actually see something of this movie, but it's definitely good news.
Interesting– you thought it was original, and I thought it had flavors of Demon With A Glass Hand.But no one in Hollywood would be dumb enough to try and lift Harlan's work again, would they?
I dunno… somehow James Cameron's still managed to stay "King of the World."
