Dark City and I Robot Alex Proyas has been having trouble getting movies made, with his big budget Paradise Lost getting shut down shortly before production was due to begin. However he recently signed up for the Robert Heinlein adaptation, The Unpleasant Profession Of Jonathan Hoag, and has now entered negotiations to make Gods Of Egypt for Summit.
Not much is known about the plot, but THR reports that it’s a fantasy epic that sees a mortal, a god and a goddess unite to fight an evil force in ancient Egypt.
Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, who wrote the scripts for the upcoming Dracula: Year Zero and Flash Gordon, wrote the script.
