The Leviathan gets Simon Kinberg & Neill Blomkamp

A few days back I posted the concept trailer for The Leviathan. Director Ruairi Robinson put it together to help get a full feature made.

By the early 22nd century mankind had colonized many worlds. Faster than light travel was made possible by harvesting exotic matter from the eggs of the largest species mankind has ever seen. Those that take part in the hunt are mostly involuntary labor.

The short piece is incredible (you can watch it below) and Hollywood has, of course, taken notice.

X-Men writer and producer Simon Kinberg (who is also creative consultant on Star Wars: The Force Awakens)has joined as producer. Neill Blomkamp (Chappie) will also be involved as exec producer. Jim Uhls (Fight Club) is writing the screenplay.

What do you think? Could this work as a full feature?
