David R. Ellis (”Snakes On A Plane”) has been tapped by Mark Ordesky to direct the 3-D “Humpy Dumpty,” Variety.com is reporting.

The sci-fi horror project is about a half-human, half-alien creature who embarks on a bloodthirsty rampage after his alien mother is abused by two Southern rednecks.

Ordesky, a former New Line exec, is producing through his recently launched shingle Amber Entertainment alongside Suzanne de Passe and Madison Jones of the iDream Company and Darry Welch from Instinctive Film, from a script from Billy Majestic. Fabienne Villette is co-producing. The film is set to start production this September.
