Platinum Studios’ Atlantis Rising has picked up a director and appears about to add a writer, moving the project further down the road according to Hollywood Reporter.  Len Wiseman, who directed two Underworld films and Live Free or Die Hard, is attached to direct.  And Joby Harold is reported to be negotiating to write the script.

Dreamworks picked up the rights to the property in April (see “Dreamworks Corrals Atlantis Rising”).
