The Higgs Boson, otherwise known as the God Particle, is an elementary particle which helps define mass and energy for other elementary particles. While I tend to think quantum physics is intellectual masturbation, CERN (among others) has been running tests to see if it exists. As numerous books have been written with the idea that some earth (or universe) shattering will come from these experiments, JJ Abrams and Bad Robot has jumped on board.

Orien Uzel who only has one script which has been turned into a film - Mortal Kombat: Rebirth, wrote the script which Paramount picked up with the idea of making it a "low budget" (read $5 Million) feature. To Europeans, this is a lot of scratch.


After a physics experiment with a large hadron accelerator causes the Earth to seemingly vanish completely, the terrified crew of an orbiting American space station is left floating in the middle of now-even-more-empty space. When a European spacecraft appears on their radar, the Americans must determine whether it’s their salvation, or a harbinger of doom.
