Oren Peli’s ‘Area 51′ Plot Details Uncovered

I wonder how amazing Oren Peli feels these days. Paranormal Activity was a huge hit and now he’s been handed a significantly larger budget to make another documentary-horror flick, Area 51. I’ve been babbling here and there about it but overall the storyline has been pretty hush-hush. We do know it centers around three teenagers whose curiosity leads them to the elusive Area 51 Air Force base in the Nevada desert. And we know Peli will once again use undiscovered actors, including Reid Warner, Darrin Bragg and Ben Rovne. Latino Review recently got their hands on a “script/outline hybrid” which reveals further details about the story:

“It’s basically a scene-by-scene breakdown with a list of various props, actors and the general interactions between the actors and their surroundings.  There is no written dialogue, but within the action descriptions are general ideas that the actors will be using to improvise their lines with on set.  Unlike Paranormal Activity’s single location, Area 51 is far more expansive in its setting.”

There are some major spoilers that you can read about here but overall their impression seems positive.

With news about Blair Witch 3, Peli’s projects and films like The Fourth Kind it seems that we can’t get enough of the whole shaky cam  genre…or can we? If documentary-horror flicks start coming out in droves, does that take away from its allure?
