Fresh off his REAL STEEL success (well, financially at least, it was a tad naff after all), director Shawn Levy is close to signing with Paramount to bring his next project to the multiplexes, an ambitious spec script by relative newbie Brian Duffield entitled MONSTER PROBLEMS. 

While details are scant at present, the guys at The Hollywood Reporter who broke the story have described the project as being “a post-apocalyptic road movie in the veign of MAD MAX and ZOMBIELAND with a John Hughes-esque love story at its centre”.

Can’t argue with that combo. Sold! 

We’ll be keeping a close eye on this one…
