Gerard Butler has a talent for signing on for movies that sound a bit fun and a bit rubbish at the same time. Now he’s got another one as Variety reports he is attached to star in the sci-fi adventure, Geostorm.
Independence Day writer/producer Dean Devlin is set to direct the movie, which is about a stubborn and charming satellite designer (Gerard Butler), who is forced to team up with his estranged brother to save the world from a man-made storm, after an array of weather satellites begin to malfunction.
They set off into space in order to save the day, and just to make things a bit more difficult/preposterous, they must also deal with an assassination plot against the US President.
Somehow we’re not expecting this to be a cinematic masterpiece, but Devlin’s years working with Roland Emmerich might have taught him how to make it fun. Geostorm is set to begin filming this autumn.
