Not much is known about the film, but we know it centers on three teenagers who journey to the elusive Area 51 Air Force base in the Nevada desert. No matter how much is written or filmed about that area, people will always be intrigued. What DOES go on there anyway?

Maybe we’ll never know for sure, but Latino Review got their hands on a script/outline hybrid, revealing:

“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.”

Director Oren Peli had a few things to say about it; he counts “The Exorcist” as among the scariest movies he’s ever seen.

The thriller hits theaters Oct 16, 2009, and is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence, disturbing images, mature thematic material and brief sensuality. It also stars Amber Heard, Sherry Stringfield, Jon Tenney, and Paige Turco. It looks darn creepy!

In the Elle interview, Holmes talks about fashion, Tom Cruise, and the possibility of a vampire movie in her future. Yeah, she has that sort of dark look that would do well in a supernatural movie.

That’s what happens in “The Crazies,” a reimagining of the George Romero classic, directed by Breck Eisner from a screenplay by Ray Wright (“Pulse,” “Case 39”) and Scott Kosar (“The Amityville Horror,” “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”).

David Dutten (Timothy Olyphant) is sheriff of Ogden Marsh, a picture-perfect American town with happy, law-abiding citizens. But one night, one of them comes to a school baseball game with a loaded shotgun, ready to kill. Another man burns down his own house … after locking his wife and young son in a closet inside.

Something is infecting the citizens of this quiet town and making them go … crazy! And Dutten and a few residents are forced to band together, including his pregnant wife, Judy (Radha Mitchell); Becca (Danielle Panabaker), an assistant at the medical center; and Russell (Joe Anderson), Dutten’s deputy and right-hand man.

“The Crazies” hits theaters Feb. 26, 2010. No rating yet, but I’m guessing R.

In fact, that’s exactly what Bloody-Disgusting says on the official site: “Paranormal Activity is one of the scariest movies of all-time. You will be affected, as it’s hard to ignore the imprint it leaves on your psyche. Nightmares are guaranteed.”

Yeah, real life is frightening enough; I certainly don’t need any extra help in that regard! The story follows a young couple, Katie and Micah (Katie Featherston and Micah Sloat … so, is this a real movie?), who are happy and carefree, until they start to investigate some bizarre events occurring at night in their house. To get to the bottom of things, they buy a video camera and set it up to record what’s happening while they’re sleeping. It opens in limited release Sept. 25, 2009.
