Oren Peli has signed up to direct thriller Area 51, reports the Los Angeles Times.
Peli, whose first feature was the low-budget horror Paranormal Activity, will next take the helm of the science fiction project. The film will unfold as if watching "found footage" uncovered at the Nevada location that allegedly houses UFOs.
Paranormal Activity hit the headlines recently when it was reported that Steven Spielberg's home became haunted after he watched a screener disc for the movie.
Production on Area 51 is expected to begin soon in Utah.
