Moments after bringing you an exclusive poster for the After Dark/Syfy/Lionsgate feature SECONDS APART, I bring news of another project from the three: 51.

Bruce Boxleitner (TRON, “Babylon 5”) will star in the original movie, which is to be directed Jason Connery (Sean’s son and director of PANDEMIC) from a script by Kenny Yakkel (DEAD AIR).

Not to be confused with Oren Peli’s AREA 51, 51 chronicles what happens after political pressure from the American public forces the Air Force to decide to allow a select few well-known reporters limited access to the most secretive base on the planet:
Area 51. But when one of the base’s hidden “long term visitors” exploits this
unprecedented visit as a chance to liberate himself and his fellow alien captives, Area 51
turns from a secure government base to a horrifying destination of terror.

AREA 51 is scheduled to come out later this year.
