Fil-Am marks directing debut with ‘Geostorm’

Filipino-American filmmaker Dean Devlin, writer and producer of blockbuster flick “Independence Day,” is making his feature film directorial debut with Warner Bros. Pictures’ upcoming epic thriller “Geostorm.”

In the film, which opens in Philippine cinemas on October 12, after an unprecedented series of natural disasters threatened the planet, the world’s leaders came together to create an intricate network of satellites to control the global climate and keep everyone safe. But now, something has gone wrong—the system built to protect the Earth is attacking it, and it’s a race against the clock to uncover the real threat before a worldwide geostorm wipes out everything...and everyone along with it.
