It’s kinda hard to believe After Dark’s slate of Originals (with SyFy) is finally set to release later this month. Hell, the endeavor was announced almost 10 months ago to the day!
Anyway, the time is nigh folks…and After Dark just issued a fresh still and one-sheet for Jason Connery’s new alien yarn 51. Not sure which I dig on most…the girl getting glory-holed by an alien tentacle or the poster ensuring us that the future will hold 3-fingered beings. Both are pretty f*ckin’ unsettling!
From writers Tim Tori and Kenny Yakkel, 51 chronicles what happens after political pressure from the American public forces the Air Force to provide a few well-known reporters with limited access to the most secretive base on the planet: Area 51. 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.
Bruce Boxleitner, Rachel Miner, Jason London, Vanessa Branch (below), John Shea, Jillian Batherson, Beau Brasso, Lena Clark, Damon Lipari and J.D. Evermore help fill out the cast.
51 becomes exposed on January 28th. For more, get down with After Dark Originals official site.
