"War of the Worlds director Steven Spielberg will take over the producer role from Stephen Sommers for Paramount sci-fi remake When Worlds Collide.

Sommers, who had signed on to write, direct and produce earlier this year, will instead direct and produce 20th Century Fox's A Night at the Museum.

Variety says that no decision's been made yet on whether Spielberg -- currently shooting Munich for a December release -- will direct ""Collide.""

In the 1951 original When Worlds Collide, scientists discover that another planet is veering dangerously close to Earth, and they make plans for a small group of humans to leave the planet before the inevitable deadly collision.

Besides finishing Munich, Spielberg is also a producer on Memoirs of a Geisha and The Legend of Zorro. He's also been collaborating with George Lucas on Paramount's Indiana Jones 4.
