[Next On] Promo for Second Episode of History’s “Project Blue Book” Series
Last night, History declassified their UFO drama “Project Blue Book”, which depicts “Game of Thrones” alum Aidan Gillen discovering an alien that’s been obtained by the government.
From executive producer Robert Zemeckis, below you’ll find the promo for the show’s second episode in which Dr. Hynek and Captain Quinn investigate a West Virginia case of a woman and her two children who witnessed a flying saucer crash near their farm and an alien being emerge from the fiery wreck; based on the Flatwoods Monster case.
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.”
Laura Mennell (“The Man in the High Castle”), Michael Harney (“Orange is the New Black”), and Michael Malarkey (“The Vampire Diaries”) also star.
Pamela Voorhees gets the spotlight in Friday the 13th prequel series “Crystal Lake,” and EW has unveiled first look images and a teaser that introduce the slasher legend’s origins.
“Crystal Lake” premieres Thursday, October 15 only on Peacock!
The series “begins with the circumstances around that drowning and follows from there Pam’s descent into madness.”
Brad Caleb Kane (“IT: Welcome to Derry”) is the showrunner for the series, and describes the series to EW as “a mixtape of genre.”
“Everybody in this world is living in a different genre in their mind,” Kane says, “until they collide with the genre that Pam is in.” Kane clarifies Crystal Lake is “100 percent” still a slasher. What’s more, the series is set in the ’70s.
Linda Cardellini stars as Pamela Voorhees, a mother who gave up a singing career to raise her special needs child, only to take a dark turn when she loses her son — Jason.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
The show’s cast also includes William Catlett (Abigail), Cameron Scoggins (“Nashville”), Devin Kessler (“Godfather of Harlem”), Gwendolyn Sundstrom, Nick Cordileone (“Warrior”), Joy Suprano (“Fleishman Is in Trouble”), Danielle Kotch (Sinister), Christopher Denham (“Shining Girls”), Nancy Nagrant (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”), and Phoenix Parnevik.
The eight-episode series is set to be directed by Michael Lennox (“Derry Girls”), Celine Held & Logan George (Caddo Lake), and Quyen Tran (“The Pitt”).
From A24 and streamer Peacock, “Crystal Lake” will notably be the first official Friday the 13th project since the Platinum Dunes remake of the original classic way back in 2009.
