Liam O’Donnell is in the director’s seat this time; he collaborated on the script with Joshua Cordes. The two penned the first Skyline.
Greg and Colin Strause are producing.
Eric Balfour, Scottie Thompson, Brittany Daniel, Crystal Reed, David Zayas and Donal Faison starred in Skyline which opened in November of 2010 and grossed an estimated $66 million worldwide. Most of its financial success was done internationally (the film grossed $21 million Stateside).
The original’s synopsis went like this: After a late night party, a group of friends are awakened in the dead of the night by an eerie light beaming through the window. Like moths to a flame, the light source is drawing people outside before they suddenly vanish into thin air. They soon discover an otherworldly alien force is swallowing the entire human population off the face of the earth. Now our band of survivors must fight for their lives as the world unravels around them. How long will they be able to withstand the methodical and relentless onslaught as the number of casualties escalates? And more importantly who or what are these extraterrestrials?
The Strause brothers’ Hydraulx will once again be handling the visual effects.
