Ah, the apocalypse! So rife with horrors! For years the subject of the end of days has been utilized to unleash unstoppable terror on moviegoers (unstoppable unless you have Schwarzenegger armed with a rocket launcher, that is), and there’s more on tap!

According to Screen Daily Vaca Films is set to make a big sci-fi horror project provisionally titled Welcome to Harmony to be directed by Miguel Ángel Vivas (Kidnapped).

Based on Juan De Dios Garduño’s best-selling novel Y Pese A Todo…, the film will be about a World War III, pitting the US, Great Britain and Israel against Iran, China and Russia. Welcome to Harmony will focus on chemical weapons that wipe out everyone in each country except a father and daughter and their hated neighbor living in Bangor, Maine, who have to confront unwanted visitors.

Vivas is currently writing the script for the project alongside Alberto Marini, former director of international productions at Filmax, who helped develop key titles at the studio including the [Rec] films, The Way and Sleep Tight. “It’s an apocalyptic horror film in the mold of ‘I Am Legend’ and ’28 Days Later,’” Vaca Films’ Borja Pena told Screen Daily.

Stay tuned for more soon!
