Steven Spielberg Picks Up Alien Invasion Thriller

Master filmmaker Steven Spielberg recently launched a new division of Amblin Entertainment known as Amblin Partners. It is responsible for producing and developing various film and television projects, including the recently released Spielberg-directed Roald Dahl fantasy novel adaptation, The BFG. With projects from this division of Amblin including the recent HBO TV movie All The Way and TV series American Gothic (as well as upcoming theatrical releases such as The Girl on the Train film adaptation), Spielberg’s involvement certainly gives the aura of something special. That is easily the case when it comes to adding Spielberg’s involvement to any project (movie or TV show) that involves visitors from another planet – such as the in-development movie, The Fall. Deadline is reporting that Amblin is developing The Fall, an alien invasion thriller based on a script by Austrailian writer Pete Bridges. The Fall takes place in the midst of an alien invasion, where a recently divorced couple must survive a trek on foot from Atlanta to the suburbs, where their young children are home alone.
