New York Magazine’s Vulture site just got the scoop that Roland Emmerich (Stargate, Independence Day, Godzilla, The Day After Tomorrow, 10,000 BC, 2012, Anonymous) has been offered director’s spot on the upcoming Asteroids movie.  This is the first major development news since it was first announced two years ago.

While Emmerich’s films are hit-or-miss, we here at AtariAsteroids.net think he’s a genius.  No one does ridiculous scenarios and go-for-it blockbusters better.  We’d hate for this film to be half-assed, and so far, things are looking good.  IMDb has the release date down as 2014.
