Oren Peli's 'Area 51' plot details leak
Published Wednesday, Nov 11 2009, 15:50 GMT | By Tim Parks
A 43-page outline of Oren Peli's Area 51 has apparently leaked online.
The Paranormal Activity filmmaker signed on to direct the sci-fi project in September.
The script treatment was uncovered by website Latino Review, which described the film as being similar in tone to Paranormal with aliens in place of supernatural doings.
The movie is likely to utilise the same handheld camera technique as Peli's first picture in order to record the action in the story, focusing on four teenagers (Chris, Natalie, Paul and Rob) who head off to Las Vegas. The foursome seek out a former Area 51 employee named Novak, who has knowledge of video footage of human/alien experiments.
Paul is skeptical of the information, but Chris is determined to venture into the area to retrieve the recording. There is also a subplot that involves Natalie's father's claims of having been abducted by aliens.
Paramount previously announced that it was considering making a sequel to Paranormal Activity, prior to the low-budget picture surpassing The Blair Witch Project to become the most profitable movie ever made.
