Starring Liam Hemsworth, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman, Judd Hirsch, Vivica A. Fox, Brent Spiner, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jessie Usher, Maika Monroe and Sela Ward, the new entry in the franchise picks up 20 years after the 1996 original and sees Earth once again coming under attack from extraterrestrial invaders.
Emmerich and Kloser are also attached to produce Moonfall, which is said to be on the fast track for development.
That Moonfall has been described as a murder mystery in the vein of Fargo, set at an Earth colony on the moon.
This Moonfall is not to be confused with another currently in-development project by the same name, a science fiction script by David Weil that made the 2014 Blacklist.
