After “Antichrist,” his art house mash up of the slasher horror genre, Danish director Lars von Trier is moving into Roland Emmerich territory with his next project — a psychological disaster film titled “Planet Melancholia.”

Lars von Trier will write and direct the €5 million ($7.4 million) English-language feature. Shooting and post-production will take place next summer in Germany and Sweden. Von Trier’s Zentropa will produce “Planet Melancholia” with the director’s regular financial partners, which include Filmstiftung NRW, the Swiss and Danish film institutes and European broadcasters Arte, Canal Plus, SVT and DR expected to pony up financing.

TrustNordisk will be pre-selling the title at the European Film Market in Berlin in February.

Producers are Zentropa’s Meta Louise Foldager (“Antichrist”) and Louise Vesth, a line producer on von Trier’s “Manderlay” (2005). The company is targeting a release for Cannes 2011.

Von Trier and business partner Peter Aalbaek Jensen of Zentropa were typically coy in revealing the plot of the new film.

“No more happy endings!” was von Trier’s only comment, a description that would fit all of his work.

Jensen has promised a mix of spectacular, cinematic imagery with Dogme-style handheld camerawork — a combination seen in “Antichrist.” Referring to a cringe-inducing scene in that film, Jensen, however, said he hoped no genitals would be cut off in “Planet Melancholia.”

Instead, Jensen said the new film would be “romantic, in a Lord Byron sort of way.”
