"Dustin Lance Black has joined JJ Abrams&amp;#039;s Earthquake. The Milk writer will provide the screenplay for Universal Pictures and Bad Robot&amp;#039;s disaster movie, reports Deadline. The film is not intended to be a remake of the 1974 Charlton Heston-starring movie of the same name. Earthquake was first rumoured in 2008, with The Omen&amp;#039;s David Seltzer formerly in line to write the script. Black followed up his Oscar-winning work on Milk with the Clint Eastwood-directed J. Edgar. He has been working on projects including Banner of Heaven at Warner Bros for Ron Howard, 20th Century Fox&amp;#039;s Barefoot Bandit and an adaptation of Dark Horse Comics&amp;#039; 3 Story, which he is in line to direct. Earthquake is lined up to compete with New Line Cinema&amp;#039;s San Andreas 3D. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
