Production currently underway on his latest, Men in Black III, Barry Sonnenfeld has his sights set on another alien adventure. Deadline reports that Sonnenfeld is developing a project alongside Grant Morrison entitled Dominion: Dinosaurs Versus Aliens.

Morrison, known for comic books like "Animal Man," "The Invisibles" and "All-Star Superman," will develop the high concept idea as both a graphic novel and as a screenplay with Sonnenfeld attached to direct the film version.

The report suggests that the story, which has aliens invading the Earth in prehistoric times, will feature dinosaurs as the protagonists. There's certainly a question of how anthropomorphized the creatures may become to be relatable to regular audiences, but Morrison took up a similar challenge with his 2005 miniseries, We3. The ultra-violent story of a cat, a rabbit and a dog turned into deadly military weapons made limited use of dialogue and is also set for development on the big screen. The comic book version is set to hit later this year through Liquid Comics.

co-sign

I want to see how the man goes completely hogwild with concepts that could only suit the movie medium though. This was a long time coming and I for one can't wait to see the results even though I generally don't really give a fig about Barry Sonnenfeld movies.

I honestly smh @ anyone online who frowns upon this project. It has dinosaurs fighting aliens and if that doesn't stir up the 8 year old in yourself, there's really something wrong with you. I'm just most interested in how Morrison will tackle the communication between the dinosaurs (and alternatively the aliens), since I'm sure he'll go out of his way to present a believable means of communication (a la WE3 but also the cavemen dialogues in The Return Of Bruce Wayne).
