Oren Peli's 'Area 51' in Pre-Production
While horror fans in select cities are checking out midnight screenings of Oren Peli's Paranormal Activity, we've received word that pre-production is already underway in Utah on his next project, Area 51. The film offers up the found footage of a group who attempt to locate and break into the legendary secret military base rumored to house a crashed UFO.
I've got to be honest - if you'd asked me this morning whether the world needed yet another movie, comic book or video game about Area 51, I would've said "no thanks." But Peli's a promising new director, and FEARnet’s own Joseph McCabe was impressed with Peli's ultra low budget debut. I'm curious to see what new ideas he can bring to the UFO conspiracy genre, maybe even this time with a budget that exceeds five figures.
Look for more Area 51 news as the film gears up and heads into production.
