Scott Watches The "Fog" Roll in

No, it's not another remake of director John Carpenter's 1980 classic--once was enough...

Instead, Screen Daily reports that Stephen Fingleton is set to write the sci-fi horror script "Fog" which Ridley Scott will executive produce.

"Fog charts a family’s battle against a supernatural higher intelligence during a trip to London.”

Fingleton is close to delivering a first draft. The film is being budgeted in the $2m range and is tentatively scheduled to film in Northern Ireland by early 2014.

This project is the first one of a genre slate of six low budget films that Scott will oversee.
