Paranomal Activity director gets new project

area-51Paranormal Activity director Oren Peli is using the fame his latest scary movie has gotten, and taking off for another gig, this time, to the mysterious Area 51 for another movie with shaky camera, and who knows what else.

The story, which has a reported budget of over $5 million, (well over the $15,000 budget of Paranormal Activity) involves some stupid teenagers heading to Nellis Air Force Base and the site of more urban legends than any other place in America, Area 51. After these teenagers get inside the base, all kinds of weird extra-terrestrial shenanigans will ensue.

The movie will have the same crew and same feel as Paranormal Activity with the “found footage” idea, which means whatever happens to the camera operator isn’t a good thing.

After the greatness that is Paranormal Activity, I am excited to see what this director can do with a real budget, but I just hope the whole found footage idea doesn’t get run into the ground and this doesn’t become Paranormal Activity with Aliens.

What do you think does this sound like a good idea or a worn out concept? And, have you seen Paranormal Activity yet, and if so, did you squeal like a little girl?
