By Russ Fischer/Dec. 10, 2009 2:20 pm EST Yesterday there was news that James Cameron is developing “a Shane Salerno-scripted sci-fi action script for Fox, described as an ’event’ film set in the future.” At the time no one knew anything else about the picture, but Salerno’s involvement led some to speculate that this was Doomsday Protocol, a script Salerno sold to Fox, announced last year.

There’s no doubt that it’s going to be an expensive film to get off the ground (I’m thinking realistic sets for the Bebop ship, and complicated digital effects in many shots are a must), but it could probably be done for around $100 million....
