Article: How Would Aliens Fare Against Dinosaurs? Barry Sonnenfeld Aims To Find Out

EXCLUSIVE: Barry Sonnenfeld, finishing up his third Men in Black film, has come up with a new spin on the alien film genre. Sonnenfeld is at the center of a publishing/movie deal with Liquid Comics and producer Arnold Rifkin and his Cheyenne Enterprises. Sonnenfeld will team with comic book writer Grant Morrison to develop a graphic novel and movie under the title: Dominion: Dinosaurs Versus Aliens. Morrison, whose comic book work includes Batman and The Invisibles, will write both the graphic novel and the script. Sonnenfeld will direct the film.

While Sonnenfeld has scored his biggest commercial successes with aliens, he’s also a dinosaur fanatic who sparked to the idea of combining them. “Growing up, my fascination was all things dinosaur, and as an adult, I’ve had some success making films about aliens, so this is a dream come true,” said Sonnenfeld, who first met Liquid Comics founder Sharad Devarajan when he wrote a forward for one of Liquid’s graphic novels. “We’ve been trying to do a project ever since.”

The graphic novel will chronicle a secret prehistoric world war battle. When an alien invasion attacks Earth in the age of the dinosaurs, the planet’s only hope is the giants that roam the planet with, it turns out, a lot more intelligence than previously realized. Sonnenfeld, Rifkin and Devarajan will produce, while Liquid cofounder Gotham Chopra will be executive producer. WME will package the film.

The graphic novel will be published later this year in print and digital formats. Artwork will be done by Liquid’s Mukesh Singh, who teamed with Morrison on 18 Days. Morrison’s repped by ICM.

Sounds awesome.

So are humans involved in this somehow, as (anachronistic) cavemen or time travelers? Or is one of the aliens going to be the protagonist? That would be pretty unique, these aliens are trying to explore earth and unfortunately they're getting eaten by giant lizard-birds.

So, it isn't just Aliens vs. Dinosaurs, its Aliens vs. Intelligent, maybe even SAPIENT Dinosaurs.

Man, all they need is Nazis to complete the trifecta of stupidly awesome shit.

There was a third MIB film?

[Magus]

It's being made right now/is in post-production. Stars Will Smith and...I can't remember. Not Tommy Lee Jones this time...Gerard Butler?

EDIT: Josh Brolin. And actually I guess Tommy Lee Jones is in it, although I heard he isn't...maybe he's not the partner anymore and Josh Brolin is?

ANOTHER EDIT: Okay apparently they're still partners. See I thought they were attempting to actually do something slightly different but nope.

[RickZarber]

There's Time Travel involved, I believe. Josh Brolin plays young Tommy Lee Jones.

[Magus]

I dunno if that's an insult to Josh Brolin or a compliment to Tommy Lee Jones...
