Louis Letterier to direct 'G', described as 'The Day After Tomorrow' meets 'Taken'

Fresh off the news that Louis Letterier(The Incredible Hulk) would be helming the crazy sounding illusionist heist flick, Now You See Me, news pops up that he's about to tackle an even more insane concept.  He's just signed on to direct big budget sci-fi disaster flick, 'G', which Heatvision describes as having shades 'The Day After Tomorrow and Taken'.  If we were talking about Roland Emmerich chances are I would be crapping all over this idea, but with Letterier in control? Count me in!

'G' was actually once called Gravity, but due to Alfonso Cuaron's troubled film(starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock) of the same name it forced a title change. Many thanks to Slashfilm for connecting those dots. Universal Pictures has designs on forging 'G' into a major tentpole production, bu as of yet no writers have been attached. How does that work? They have an idea but no script? Cart before the horse much?

Last year Pajiba described the ridiculous plot as ”a father who has to search for his lost child as the world stops spinning and Earth begins to lose its gravity.”  Sounds just crazy enough to work!
