Patrick Tatopoulos (Underworld: Rise of the Lycans) is now attached to direct The Colony. Since we last reported on the project almost one year ago, Summit Entertainment has come aboard to co-finance the film as well as distribute the movie in America. We've also learned (via Heat Vision) that the original screenplay was written by Stacy Title and Jonathan Penner, and that they describe the current story synopsis as about "a group of survivors forced underground by the next ice age. There, they must fight to preserve humanity against a savage threat."
