Veteran producer Gale Anne Hurd has optioned Annie Jacobsen’s controversial book Area 51: An Uncensored History of America's Top Secret Military Base for a potential TV series. According to Deadline the series “will follow two men working on the base who are thrust into danger when they uncover secrets that the government will protect at any cost.” Annie Jacobsen will work on the project as a consulting producer.

In other news, new images of Ridley Scott’s hotly anticipated Alien prequel Prometheus have emerged through Entertainment Weekly. One of the stars of the movie, Michael Fassbender, seemed to confirm to EW that the aliens featured in the existing franchise will indeed appear in Prometheus: “There’s definitely a link to Alien,”he said, “There’s creatures in it that you’ll recognize.”
