History Declassifies First Look at Alien In “Project Blue Book” Series!
What’s really going up in there in the skies?
Ahead of this week’s San Diego Comic-Con, EW shared a sneak peek first look at History’s scripted UFO drama “Project Blue Book”, which depicts “Game of Thrones” alum Aidan Gillen discovering an alien that’s been obtained by the government.
Maleficent helmer Robert Stromberg, an Oscar and Emmy-winning production designer/special effects artist, directed the first two episodes of the10-episode series, which chronicles the true top secret U.S. Air Force-sponsored investigations into UFO-related phenomena in the 1950s and ’60s, known as “Project Blue Book.”
“’Project Blue Book’ follows Dr. J. Allen Hynek, a brilliant college professor recruited by the U.S. Air Force to spearhead this clandestine operation that researched thousands of cases, many of which were never solved. Each episode will draw from the actual files, blending UFO theories with authentic historical events from one of the most mysterious eras in United States history.”
Robert Zemeckis and his ImageMovers partner Jack Rapke (Cast Away, Flight) and the company’s Jackie Levine (Allied, The Walk) executive produce for Compari.
AMC’s horror series “The Terror” wrapped its third season last month, but plans are already in motion for season four.
Executive producer David W. Zucker has confirmed that “The Terror” Season 4 is moving forward in a new chat with ScreenRant, revealing that they’ve “just closed the deal on the book we’re gonna develop next” for the series.
Which novel they’re adapting remains shrouded in secrecy at this stage, however.
That might not seem like much to go on at this stage, but the second season was an original story. Furthermore, there was a lengthy gap between seasons two and three, causing many to speculate that the third season would be the anthology series’ last. Unlike its first two, Season 3 shifted from airing on AMC to a dual Shudder and AMC+ weekly release plan, with neither streamer revealing viewership numbers.
So not only is this confirmation that the series is moving forward, but it won’t be another six years before we see Season 4.
The first season of the supernatural drama, based on Dan Simmons’ novel and aired in 2018, was set on the frigid decks of a Victorian Era sailing ship following a doomed course, while season two, “The Terror: Infamy,” which premiered in August 2019, centered on a malevolent, shape-shifting force that is locked up with prisoners in a Japanese internment camp.
Season 3, “The Terror: Devil in Silver,” tells the story of Pepper – a working class moving man, who through a combination of bad luck and a bad temper, finds himself wrongfully committed to New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital – an institution filled with the people society would rather forget. There, he must contend with patients who work against him, doctors who harbor grim secrets, and perhaps even the very Devil himself.
Dan Stevens (The Guest, Abigail) stars alongside Judith Light, CCH Pounder, Aasif Mandvi, John Benjamin Hickey, Stephen Root, Michael Aronov, Marin Ireland, Chinaza Uche, Hampton Fluker, Hayward Leach, and Philip Ettinger.
The six-episode new season is based on Victor LaValle’s novel, The Devil in Silver.
