Nordling here.
Ordinarily I'd write this off as something fit for a SyFy movie, but with the pedigree it has behind it, this may well be worth paying attention to. According to Deadline, Barry Sonnenfeld and Grant Morrison are teaming up to bring DOMINION: DINOSAURS VERSUS ALIENS, to the big screen. Sonnenfeld will partner with Morrison to create a graphic novel and then later on a film based on it.
The story will be centered around an alien invasion in prehistoric times, and the Earth's last remaining line of defense will be the dinosaurs, who are apparently more intelligent than we realized. No word on whether or not any humans would be involved. Will this be entirely CGI? If they are trying to be even slightly accurate, I'd imagine this would be animated without any human characters.
Barry Sonnenfeld said in the article, "Growing up, my fascination was all things dinosaur, and as an adult, I've had some success making films about aliens, so this is a dream come true." Morrison's graphic novel will be published later in the year.
Grant Morrison's no slouch in the story department, and Sonnenfeld's directed some great movies, but I've heard bad things about MEN IN BLACK III, so he may be trying to line up his next job now. Hopefully MiB III will be good, and the naysayers will be proven wrong. No word on any release date, if any, but at the very least we'll get the comic later this year, and we'll know more then.
Nordling, out.
