“Men in Black” helmer barry Sonnenfeld is attached to direct “Lore”, a science-fiction actioner that sparked a bidding war between the studios earlier this year, ultimately ending up at Warners, says THR.

“Lore”, based on a graphic novel which Cory Goodman and Jeremy Lott adapted for the screen, has been described as “Men in Black with mythological creatures.”

Dwayne Johnson, no stranger to working with mythical creatures after having shot two “Fast and the Furious” movies now, is attached to star in the film.

Sonnenfeld’s last film was the successful but critically-panned “Men in Black 3″.
