David R. Ellis is negotiating to direct the 3-D sci-fi horror film "Humpty Dumpty" reports Variety.



Derived from the nursery rhyme--the film follows a half-human, half-alien creature who embarks on a murderous rampage after his alien mother is abused by two rednecks in the Deep South.

Newcomer Billy Majestic wrote the script.

Let's see we have had killer Leprechauns, dolls named Chucky, the Tooth fairy in Darkness Falls--Why not a homicidal Humpty...?

Filming kicks off in September.
