    Universal “Atlantis” Film Lands Director Colin Trevorrow

    Mary Anne ButlerBy 1 Min Read

    Maybe THIS is the project that those unnamed sourceless websites were talking about, but it would appear that a brand-new film about the fabled lost city of Atlantis is headed to Universal Pictures, with “Jurassic World” director Colin Trevorrow in the hot seat.

    According to our pals over at Collider, this film (again, at Universal Pictures) will NOT have anything to do with Warner Bros. Pictures’ current “Aquaman” film(s), or Disney’s animated classic “Atlantis: The Lost Empire.”

    The current treatment reads: “Unlike previous incarnations of the mythical city as an underwater kingdom, Trevorrow’s Atlantis is set on a lost continent in the Indian Ocean between Africa, India and Oceania.”

    Collider goes on to say that this is that same 2018 project with production designer Kevin Jenkins that came about after Trevorrow’s firing from “Star Wars: Episode VII.”

    This sounds pretty exciting actually, and we’re looking forward to seeing what comes of it.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
