Director Stephen Sommers ("The Mummy", "Van Helsing") is back on Paramount Pictures and Steven Spielberg's big budget remake of 1951 sci-fi disaster epic "When World Collide" reports Variety.
Sommers was aligned to write and direct the picture, with Spielberg producing, earlier this year. The film fell into development hell when the studio's new regime came in and he dropped out to direct and produce Fox's "A Night at the Museum".
Sommers later dropped out of "Museum" due to creative differences, which has now led him back to 'Collide'. Because Sommers had been involved in the project earlier this year, a script draft could be done as early as in the next two or three months.
