'It has an 'Aliens'-like vibe:' 'Atlas' director Brad Peyton on channeling James Cameron (exclusive)

sweeping the globe, director Brad Peyton" is experiencing a healthy surge of adrenalin to his Hollywood filmmaking career that seems to have no ceiling as evidenced by his latest entertaining project.," combines an explosive assault of"Titanfall"-like mech action paired with timely themes surrounding our inherent apprehension about the encroachment of artificial intelligence into every aspect of our daily lives.

Peyton is an instinctive director who continues to hone his craft over the last decade by sticking with the types of action adventure storytelling he loves. "It has an 'Aliens'-like vibe because of the grounded, grittiness to it," he explains."The other reference point, and it's really strange, but there was this movie I saw in 1989 called 'Robot Jox.' That movie planted a seed. The thing I like about going back to those films is that they're tight stories that have very focused narratives. Some of them are a little simplistic now, but what I like about them is they're not indulgent in a way.

"I've wanted to work with Mark Strong since 'Body of Lies.' The whole cast was a bit of a dream to work with because they’re all high caliber actors that were just bringing it every day. With Simu in particular, the thing we locked onto, that was sort of a touchstone for both of us, is that you can't really put a finger on where he stands. I find the people that say the least, that don't give away their behavior, are the most scary people I've ever met.
