Lanning to Lay Siege

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Lorne Lanning will direct the upcoming CG sci-fi action thriller Citizen Siege.

Lanning and Sherry McKenna, co-founders of game developer Oddworld Inhabitants, will create a new universe where current global conditions are extrapolated into a frightening near future where democracy has all but disintegrated under the rule of global corporatism. Well-known for their heartfelt characters and socially relevant storylines, Oddworld intends to raise the intensity level as their latest hero, an expatriate, finds himself ensnared in a nightmarish credit racket that leaves him “repossessed.”
