Fresh off the Hulk Louis Leterrier has scored another job in Strays. We get the skinny on this project from the radioactive caves of Yahoo:
Director Louis Leterrier, whose “Incredible Hulk” was the weekend’s box-office champ, is in negotiations to develop and direct “Strays,” an eco-themed action thriller.
Written by Michael Ross, the Summit project, produced by Film 360, concerns a group of young consultants on a business trip to Russia who mysteriously wake up in an abandoned and radioactive city and must fight to survive.
One of my critiques of the Hulk was that I really didn’t like a lot of the camera work. There was too much shaky cam and the editing was far too fast from one shot to the next. I want to soak in the meaning of the scene and properly imprint the images on my mind. Each shot should be a work of art ala Hitchcock.
Issues with Leterrier aside, abandoned cites are always great places to tell a tale, and a radioactive city in Russia sounds like good stuff to me.
Will zombies come to attack them, or mutated beasts that look other worldly in their appearance?
