V for Vendetta director doing alien invasion movie

James McTeigue (“V for Vendetta”) will direct “Alien Sleeper Cell”, a sci-fi thriller from ScanBox Studios, the new company from Joe Gatta and Joni Sighvatsson, says THR.

The plot is being kept secret but is said to be in the vein of “The Bourne Identity” and TV’s “The Americans” – only with an alien invasion backdrop.

Morgan Davis Foehl, who wrote Michael Mann’s “Cyber”, wrote the script.
