Roland Emmerich has a mystery new project that’s landed at Sony, and while they’ve already set a May 17th, 2013 release date, according to Sony, not a huge amount more than that is known about the project, although it does seem to be a return to big, fx filled filmmaking for the 2012 and Independence Day helmer.
Little is known about the story, except it is a sci-fi genre tale. His next movie, Anonymous, a non-explosive drama about the validity of William Shakespeare’s work, is scheduled for release on October 28. Emmerich promised no more disaster movies after 2012, so presumably Singularity is big, but not apocalytic.
Hopefully we’ll learn more about it soon.
