Official Trailer & Poster For AREA 51 CONFIDENTIAL

In recent weeks there has been news of some upcoming found footage films such as AMBER ALERT and THE LUCIFER EFFECT which seem to be trying to bring something new to what quite frankly is fast becoming a stale subgenre. AREA 407 is another recent film which brought a fresh perspective by incorporating dinosaurs. AREA 51 CONFIDENTIAL appears to be another of these films, in this case mixing some sci-fi in with the handheld style as it concerns itself with that enigmatic and seemingly mythical place known as Area 51. This is great news for people who may be getting a little sick of all the found footage ghost films out there at the moment. In any case, below you can find the press release along with an official trailer and poster for the upcoming film.

Press Release: The "found footage" subgenre of film has previously been thrust into the spotlight by such films as Paranormal Activity, Quarantine, Cloverfield, and perhaps most famously by The Blair Witch Project. Now, the genre is stepping into the realm of science fiction with the feature film Area 51 Confidential.
Presented under the guise of a "military training video for new hires at the facility known as Area 51", we follow the plight of a handful of individuals - a broadcast journalist, a documentarian, a teenage girl from Roswell, an army Colonel, and a man who had previously been thought "missing" for a number of years - as they awaken in the desert area surrounding Area 51. With no knowledge of how they arrived there, they must sort out their differences and find a way out - before strange lurking creatures find them first.
Area 51 Confidential hits you with twists and turns, and character development not normally seen in this subgenre. The official United States DVD and Video on Demand street dates will be announced in the coming weeks, as well as international release dates being handled by Phoenix Group Releasing.
