Barry Levinson to direct indie sci-fi thriller Isopod

It’s a slow news evening/morning, so please bear with this very brief news item.

According to Production Weekly’s Twitter feed, filmmaker Barry Levinson (SPHERE, WAG THE DOG, RAIN MAN) is planning on taking the helm of an indie sci-fi thriller entitled ISOPOD. Production is said to be beginning next month in both North and South Carolina, and that’s pretty much all we know.

I did however Google Search “isopod” and, well, if you get easily creeped out by the sight of ENORMOUS F*CKING BUGS, then I suggest you Google “kelly brook boobs” or something instead.

So will Levinson’s “sci-fi thriller” in fact be about killer bugs? Or is the title just a misnomer of sorts? I expect we’ll get some info sooner than later what with production set to begin next month. But until then, feel free to speculate away!
