Don’t let War Horse fool you—Steven Spielberg hasn’t forgotten his sci-fi roots. Once he wraps production on his Lincoln biopic, his sights are set on Robopocalypse!

Robopocalypse will be a sci-fi flick based on the best-selling novel by Daniel H. Wilson. Like most futuristic films, it will center on technology that wears out its welcome

Spielberg recently told Time Out London (via The Playlist), “It’s a movie about a global war between man and machine. I had a great time creating the future on Minority Report, and it’s a future that is coming true faster than any of us thought it would.” He added that “it’ll be another future we can relate to.”

Steven Spielberg Commits To Next Direct ‘Robopocalypse’

Steven Spielberg has committed to directing an adaptation of Daniel H. Wilson’s robot uprising novel as his next movie. Finally, the genre mastermind is back in the sci-fi saddle.

Spielberg sparked to the material last March, long before the novel was even completed—but as Wilson was turning in pages of the book, Drew Goddard (Cloverfield) was processing them into the screenplay and storyboards were being drawn. The finished product must’ve jazzed Spielberg, since he just decided to shoot Robopocalypse next January, aiming for a 2013 release.
