ROBOPOCALYPSE
AMPED BOOK TRAILER ROBOPOCALYPSE - 2011 By Daniel H. Wilson Book Trailer created by Epipheo Studios

A cartoon about how to avoid a robot attack?

You are probably thinking of the book trailer for Daniel H. Wilson's ROBOPOCALYPSE.

This novel hit the ground running in 2010 with a great blurb by Stephen King and everything fell into place after that. It went on to become a New York Times best seller and quickly optioned into a movie. Not just any movie. Stephen Spielberg is not only producing it, he's directing it, and involved in making Daniel's novel AMPED as well! Plus the screenplay adaptation is by Drew Goddard (CLOVERFIELD, CABIN IN THE WOODS)! All of which is a whirlwind of damn good fortune that left Daniel Wilson gasping for breath.

The expected release date for ROBOPOCALYPSE is July 3, 2013.

But it never happened.

Then it was supposed to be 2014.

But it never happened.

Now it's 2023

by Sheryl Oh
We'll always remember Michael Bay as the requisite robot guy. He may have left the gig of directing the whole Transformers series behind him, but his perennial iron grip on noisy action fare will continue on through his next couple projects. One of these taps into blossoming writing talent that we've been seeing around a lot lately, and another happens to be a long-gestating project that was supposed to be directed by Steven Spielberg.

We haven't heard much about the project's status since then, but now screenwriter Drew Goddard looks back on the experience, and offers up a small glimmer of hope that it could still happen.
