In Moonfall, a mysterious force that knocks the Moon from its orbit around Earth and sends it hurtling on a collision course with life as we know it.
Coming off from the surprise success of Midway, this new project will mark the second collaboration between Emmerich and Lionsgate.
The Independence Day director has been attached to helm Moonfall since 2016 but had to put the film’s production on hold for Midway, which had its premiere in November.
When it comes to disaster movies, Roland Emmerich is generally your go-to director and now his upcoming project Moonfall is starting to take shape as Artemis Fowl and Frozen star Josh Gad has signed on to lead the film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
