The observance of Independence Day: Resurgence has just begun, but Roland Emmerich is already working on his next disaster flick. And according to The Hollywood Reporter, the director won’t stray too far from that milieu. Emmerich has just sold a spec script for a new space misadventure, Moonfall, to Universal. The project sparked a bidding war between Universal and Sony, and it’s not hard to see why, as Emmerich has written a story about a ragtag group of heroes who must save Earth from another hurtling object—the moon. (We can already guess what the tagline will be: “This time, it’s orbital.”)
