Filmmaker may direct the sci-fi feature.

A large scale contemporary sci-fi, the film has been described by the site’s sources a “new take on an alien invasion story containing hot-button science elements.”
Emmerich has a number of projects bubbling away at the moment which are more likely to come first, including a sequel to ‘Independence Day,’ and his mysterious sci-fi project, ‘Singularity.’
