Ronald Shusett (co-creator of the
Alien) is to direct the sci-fi/horror
Megacity, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
A potential franchise vehicle which is set in the not-too-distant future, the series follows the exploits of an elite team of soldiers called Phobia, whose job is to stop psychic parasites known as pulses from possessing innocent people and turning them into monsters.
"It's basically
Aliens meets
Minority Report. Who better to do this with than Ron?" said the comic book specialist Daniel Alter.
