Details on the plot of the film are few, but at the time of the sale, it was likened to both The Sixth Sense and Cloverfield.
The latest information suggests that the story follows a man trying to protect his family during an Earth invasion. Johnston’s credits as a director also include big screen actioners like Jurassic Park III, The Rocketeer and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.
He most recently shot a microbudget thriller, Not Safe for Work for Blumhouse Productions, which should see release in the near future.
Extinction? is being produced by David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman with Alex Young executive producing.
