Who better to force two studios to team up than one Steven Spielberg.

According to THR, both Fox and DreamWorks will be co-financing Spielberg’s upcoming sci-fi film, Robopocalypse. The film will be hitting theaters on July 3, 2013, and will be based on the novel penned by Daniel H. Wilson.

The story follows “the fate of the human race following a robot uprising,” and while the premise may sound cliche, the idea of Spielberg jumping back into the world of sci-fi action films really makes this one project to keep a huge eye on.

Spielberg is a historic name for a reason, and some of those reasons happen to be his fantastic work with the sci-fi genre. Minority Report is one of the best modern sci-fi actioners around, and here’s to hoping that Robopocalypse can live up to that intense potential. Disney will be releasing this film, which at this point, sounds like one hell of a winner.
