AceShowbiz - Working on its three-year, first-look deal with former Disney exec Nina Jacobson, DreamWorks Pictures is on the move to develop a sci-fi thriller feature entitled "Dominion" for Jacobson to produce via her studio-based Color Force shingle.
Written by Ben Ripley, pic concerns on a human who is chosen to command an army's first-ever platoon of robotic soldiers. Jacobson is said to get interested in the idea of the flick due to the scope of its story.
"It's a film that will require a real visionary director, and it's a project that has a lot of big-movie elements," she remarked.
Now a subsidiary of Paramount Pictures, DreamWorks Pictures was established in 1994 by media moguls Jeffrey Katzenberg, Steven Spielberg, and David Geffen following the former's forced resignation from The Walt Disney Company. The studio most recently gained huge commercial success through "Shrek the Third" which so far has grossed around $286 million domestically.
