EXCLUSIVE: Screenwriter John Glenn has been brought on to re-imagine Abducted, a science fiction thriller that was originally acquired by the studio as a spec by John Heffernan. Disruption Entertainment’s Mary Parent and Cale Boyter will produce. JC Spink, Chris Bender and Jake Weiner are exec producers. The story centers around an alien abduction of a group of average Americans who decide to take on the aliens and battle their way off the extraterrestrial craft. Glenn, who did early drafts of Clash of the Titans and Eagle Eye, is writing the hour-long Treasure Island for NBC. That is a contemporary re-imagining of the Robert Louis Stevenson story, set in Gotham. Glenn’s repped by WME and managed by Brian Lutz.

This sounds just like the premise of one of the downloadable add-ons for the videogame Fallout 3.
ANOTHER aliens come after America movie? Really, Hollywood??
Alien movies tend to do very well. As long as costs are controlled.
People will appreciate another alien movie if it is done well.
Show some respect. This writer is an American hero.
It’s well established that in real life, alien abductors paralyze their victims with some kind of neuro-force field, rendering them incapable of movement and the premise of this film ridiculous.
PREACH IT, BROTHER!
Absolutely. It’s the only way to do all that probing.
ABDUCTED (at least the spec draft I read many years ago) was an incredibly simple, fun genre piece. It’s not an alien attack on earth project. It’s a prison break on a UFO story.
A miner gets abducted into a UFO, manages to break free while on board, teams up with a woman/love interest and a kid to fight back, beat the aliens, release the other human prisoners, and return to Earth. Most of the conflict and action is our hero trying to get around the ship and fighting alien security guards/robots.
