Morel Might Be Signing Up to Defend Earth in Alien Flick

Pierre Morel has now focused his attention on “EDF,” aka “Earth Defense Force,” a giant alien invasion movie that’s being produced by Sam Raimi and Bill Block, head of QED International, the outfit that is financing the project. Warner Bros. is distributing. Morel, the director of “Taken,” was in talks at the same time to direct “EDF” and “Ouija,” the adaptation of the Hasbro board game set up at Universal. “EDF” is set after three alien fighters attack the planet, leaving countries humiliated. The governments of Earth then race to create a space fighting force in preparation for a second attack by an approaching alien horde.
