“Disturbia”’s DJ Caruso to direct “Invertigo” drama

PanARMENIAN.Net - Big deal coming together at Sony Pictures that involves DJ Caruso in talks to direct Invertigo, a drama scripted by Ehren Kruger and Bradley Cramp about a NASA satellite that crash-lands in New York City, and it creates a “reverse-G vortex” where gravity is inverted. It imperils the planet if a rescue mission fails. Neal Moritz will produce, with Daniel Bobkur and Cramp exec producers, Deadline reported.

This is a big-scale picture that was bought as a spec and is on a fast track toward production. Caruso last directed I Am Number Four, and before that the hits Eagle Eye and Disturbia.

He just finished writing and directing Goat Island, a passion project that he made independently, and family film Brock Cole.

Caruso has also been attached to Preacher, and the Scott Frank-scripted A Walk Among The Tombstones. Invertigo has an enormous amount of prep, so production conceivably wouldn’t start until first quarter of 2013. Kruger’s most recent script credit is Transformers: Dark Of The Moon.
