Fox is in negotiations to pre-emptively pick up the movie rights to Ruin, an eight-minute animated short by Wes Ball. THR writes that Ball is attached to direct the feature and will co-write the script with T.S. Nowlin. The two likely will work under the supervision of McG, who is negotiating to produce via his Wonderland Sound and Vision, with Steve Tzirlin, a Lucasfilm exec who oversaw story and script development for “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.” The video, which debuted on Vimeo in March (watch it above), is set in a post-apocalyptic North American city overgrown with foliage and has an I Am Legend meets Terminator 2 vibe.
