Tim Burton and 'Monsterpocalypse'?

The Hollywood Reporter’s – Heat Vision has exclusively reported that John August is in negotiations with DreamWorks to write the studio’s feature film adaptation of 'Monsterpocalypse', a strategy game played with collectible miniature figures.

…the latest development raises the possibility that August will re-team with Tim Burton, whom DreamWorks has been wooing to take on the project as its director. DreamWorks, which grabbed film rights to the 'Monsterpocalypse' property last month, hasn’t yet nailed down the 'Alice in Wonderland' billion-dollar man. Talks are, however, ongoing.

So it's very probable that Tim Burton will accompany John August in creating the 'Monsterpocalypse'! Stay tunned for more info!
