With Universal's Jurassic World crossing the billion-dollar
threshold, other studios are looking at the box-office and thinking they might also try their luck at a monster film. Warner Bros. in talks with
Eli Roth for a giant shark movie titled Meg, and now 20th Century Fox has set
their eyes on cryptozoology to fill in their monster gap.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fox has paid
$750.000 against $1.5 million for Jason Micallef's 50-page pitch for a three-film
franchise set in the world of the pseudoscience about animals whose existence
has not been proven. Titled Shadows, the first film is set to be directed by
Carlos Saldanha, whose credits include Rio, Rio 2, Ice Age: The Meltdown, and
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. Micallef is also writing the Play-Doh movie for
the studio.
