Plot Details for Oren Peli’s Area 51

I don’t know how the boys over at Latino Review does it, but I do know that they’re one of the more trustworthy movie sites out there when it comes to scripts. Their latest find is the shooting script for “Paranormal Activity” director Oren Peli’s “Area 51″, his latest “found footage” follow-up to “Activity”, which continues to clean up at the box office and turning a tidy (re: humongous) profit from its $11,000 dollar budget. Obviously, “Area 51″ is going to be enjoying a significantly higher budget, which will come in handy because, it would appear, aliens will definitely be making an appearance. Read on below to see how the movie begins. POTENTIAL SPOILERS.

Here’s the film’s set-up:

REMOVED BY REQUEST OF THE STUDIO.

From there, the characters break into the military facility and, we’re told, alien hijinks ensue. The movie, like “Activity”, will consist of a lot of adlibbing by the actors onset, which is usually a crapshoot. If you get good actors, they’ll make it work; if not, it might be like pulling teeth.

In any case, hopefully this will be the last “found footage” movie from Peli. Really, how many times can you pull the same gag before people start thinking you’re a one-trick pony?
