Green Goes From Misfits To Monsters

Tom Green known for directing episodes of British superhero comedy series Misfits will helm the sequel "Monsters: Dark Continent " says Screen Daily (via STYD).

The original Gareth Edwards' low-budget sci-fi feature hit "Monsters" followed a couple trying to escape Central America which had been quarantined due to an invasion of alien creatures.


Word was a year ago that the sequel would involve a teacher living in a protected walled city who has to go into the infected zone to find his long-lost brother. The brother, a former military man, has become something of a legend in the zone like that of Col. Kurtz in "Apocalypse Now".

At the time the sequel was slated to be helmed by Brent Bonacorso and Jesse Atlas with Edwards executive producing.

With Green on board, it's clear just how much of that story will remain since Jay Basu ("Fast Girls) has just started to work on the script for the film.
