Aliens versus Predators

Post date: May 10, 2011 9:38:58 PM

A new post from inside-baseball Hollywood blog Deadline reveals that Grant Morrison will be writing a graphic novel and movie script for Dominion: Dinosaurs vs Aliens, to be directed by Men In Black's Barry Sonnenfeld. Hopefully it'll be a bit more the good clean fun of Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus and a bit less the deeply, deeply cynical Cowboys And Aliens, but it still smacks of an Alan Partridge pitching session. It's all a bit vague on whether its a 'real' film or an extended video game cut sequence ala the still-in-limbo MHX / 18 Days. With art by Mukesh Singh, supposedly it will be published 'in print and digital formats' later this year, with a little teaser below.

Hang on a minute... In print? Does this mean that Grant's DC exclusive is coming to an end? Wasn't said exlusive the reason why 18 Days was concieved as a web based cartoon rather than a comic in the first place? According to the (recently updated, unlike the rest of the site) biography on Morrison's official website he's no longer working in an advisory capacity on DC Comics/Warner Brothers movie 'synergy'. Maybe coupled with the release of Supergods next month there's going to be some big changes on the horizon...
