Gale Ann Hurd, whose work in the genre stretches back to the original Terminator film in 1984, is developing a new series about the mysterious US Air Force base at Area 51 in Nevada.

Based on Annie Jacobsen’s controversial book Area 51: An Uncensored History of America’s Top  Secret Military Base, the new hour-long series will be written by Dead Like Me‘s Karl Gajdusek, according to the report at Deadline. It will centre on two men based at Area 51 who uncover secrets that the government will do anything to protect.

Area 51 has long been the focus of speculation, but Jacobsen’s book has been criticised for its “revelations” about the base’s links with the Roswell incident.

  1. I read long ago that the research conducted at Area 51 has long since been moved to an undislosed location. It still doesn’t expain why they ruined Marjor Marcel’s career when he went to the news media to say it wasn’t a weather ballon. I think of how the world would be affected if the government acknowledged what happened. I dont’ think it will happen in my lifetime. However the mathematical possibility of other life on planets other than earth is very apperent. There has to be another advanced species out there other than man.

    • There are multiple theories around Area 51 and Roswell – I’ve looked at some of the key ones in my new book, That’s What They Want You to Think, out next year – but the difficulty with Roswell is the many different versions of the story about what happened exactly when. None of the researchers, or indeed the participants, seem to agree even where the “weather balloon” came down…!
