In lucru cu proiecte ca o alta adaptare a Wyatt Earp si o adaptare a jocului World of Warcraft, regizorul Sam Raimia declarat pentru Vulture ca lucreaza si cu producatorul filmului District 9, Bill Block si Warner Bros. la un proiect Sci-Fi numit EDF (sau Earth Defense Force).
Filmul este descris ca fiind :
“Mix Top Gun with Independence Day and add a pinch of The Last Starfighter, and you’ll get EDF.”
Andrew Marlowe, scenaristul filmului Air Force One si producatorul executiv al serialului de televiziune “Castle,” vor scrie scenariul.
Vulture mai adauga si ca proiectul nu are de a face cu jocul video cu acelasi nume.
Acestia mai declara:
“In ‘EDF,’ we open on a U.S. military operation gone awry: Sent to rescue what they believe is a sub that’s accidentally bumped into a mine in Chinese waters, U.S. naval aviators quickly wind up engaged in a dogfight with a squadron of Chinese air force pilots. Soon, planes on both sides are being shot out of the sky, but not by the Chinese or US pilots, but by three alien attack fighters, which soon depart and destroy many of the world’s landmarks and military installations, then, vanish. It’s a test of Earth’s defensive capabilities, and we failed. Shortly after, NASA detects a radiation signature in a nearby galaxy, indicating a far more massive attack coming in about ten months, and world leaders set about trying to create super-aircraft and weapons that can fight off the coming invasion.”
Alaturi de proiectele precizate mai sus (Wyatt Earp si Warcraft), Raimi se va implica si la The Shadow (se pare doar ca producator) si poate Oz: The Great and Powerful dar nu este nimic batut in cuie.

With projects like a futuristic take on Wyatt Earp and an adaptation of the video game World of Warcraft in his future, director Sam Raimi is quite the busy man. That’s not stopping him from adding to his workload though as Vulture reports Raimi is working with District 9 producer Bill Block and Warner Bros. to set up a sci-fi flick called EDF (or Earth Defense Force). The report says: “Mix Top Gun with Independence Day and add a pinch of The Last Starfighter, and you’ll get EDF.” Andrew Marlowe, the writer of Air Force One and executive producer on the TV series “Castle,” is writing the script.
Vulture says that this project has nothing to do with the video game of a similar name and they say:
“In ‘EDF,’ we open on a U.S. military operation gone awry: Sent to rescue what they believe is a sub that’s accidentally bumped into a mine in Chinese waters, U.S. naval aviators quickly wind up engaged in a dogfight with a squadron of Chinese air force pilots. Soon, planes on both sides are being shot out of the sky, but not by the Chinese or US pilots, but by three alien attack fighters, which soon depart and destroy many of the world’s landmarks and military installations, then, vanish. It’s a test of Earth’s defensive capabilities, and we failed. Shortly after, NASA detects a radiation signature in a nearby galaxy, indicating a far more massive attack coming in about ten months, and world leaders set about trying to create super-aircraft and weapons that can fight off the coming invasion.”
In addition to the aforementioned projects (Wyatt Earp and Warcraft), Raimi has also been linked to an adaptation of The Shadow (likely only as producer) and maybe Oz: The Great and Powerful but it’s still unclear what the filmmaker will tackle.
