Kidman to Star in “Invasion”

It looks like “Invasion” won’t be a remake after all:
Nicole Kidman is in final negotiations to star in “Invasion,” a sci-fi thriller… The story takes place after a mysterious epidemic alters the behavior of human beings, and follows a Washington psychiatrist (Kidman) who discovers that its origins are extraterrestrial. She must fight to protect her son, who may hold the key to stopping the invasion.
A late September shoot in Baltimore is being eyed. Oliver Hirschbiegel will direct… “Invasion” is neither a reimagining nor a remake of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers.” The project originated as a remake, but when writer David Kajganich turned in his take, Warner Bros. thought it had something fresh on its hands.
“It’s a very insidious story about how the end of the world can come through science and disease and not through explosions,” said producer Joel Silver.
