Darren Lynn Bousman (“Saw II”, “Saw III”, “Saw IV”) will direct “Apex”, described as ‘Predator meets Call of Duty’.
James E. Cavanaugh wrote the script.
According to THR, “the plot tells of a Special Ops team sent to obtain a WMD from North Korea that is transported to another world. The team then finds themselves pitted against a dangerous alien race.”
The producers hope to reveal art and key alien designs at Comic Con in San Diego.
Bousman sees Apex as “a love letter to the sci-fi films I grew up watching with my dad, such as Alien, Predator, Enemy Mine, Tremors. But I also want it to have the more modern feel of some of the recent video games I am currently playing, like Halo and Call of Duty.”
“This can be a balls-to-the-walls action fantasy and it’s franchisable outside of the movie universe,” said Bousman. “There is a whole world to explore with Apex.”
