Based on the graphic novel
A screen adaptation of Area 52 still has life left in it.
Summit Entertainment and producers Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mark Vahradian have boarded the project which is a take on the 2001 comic book. They will no go out to writers to tackle the material.
Described as Aliens meets Die Hard, the story concerns a storage facility in Antarctica that houses top-secret alien wares after Nevada’s Area 51 is done testing them. There, an Army nurse must restore order after a mercenary attack has unleashed a menacing terror.
Back in 2008, Steven C. Miller (Automaton Transfusion) was attached to direct before the project languished in a bit of development hell.
