The producers of this week’s release Maze Runner: Scorch Trials have partnered with Bryce Zabel and Jackie Zabel on the alien abduction thriller.
Captured is based on the rights to the first reported alien abduction that occurred 54 years ago this week and tells of Betty and Barney Hill, an interracial couple from New Hampshire, who claimed they were captured by a UFO in 1961.
Bryce Zabel will adapt the screenplay from the 2007 non-fiction book Captured! The Betty And Barney Hill UFO Experience: The True Story Of The World’s First Documented Alien Abduction.
Nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman co-wrote the book with Betty Hill’s niece Kathleen Marden. The film will be set in the context of Cold War paranoia and race relations.
Eric Robinson of Gotham/Principal negotiated the deal with Jason Leibovitch of Leibo Management on behalf of Stellar.

Here's the second trailer for Resident Evil: Afterlife which Sony has passed along in hi-res. A brief aside, at the start of the trailer, Milla Jovovich's Alice says the start of the zombie outbreak began "five years ago." Wait. Five? The timeline of this series is getting a bit screwy, because Resident Evil: Extinction was set eight years after Resident Evil: Apocalypse . It was the only way to make the environmental damage caused by the T-virus plausible. At least, that's what Jovovich and other crew members told us when we were on the Mexico set of Extinction . Oh well, enjoy the action and look for the next film in theaters on September 10. For our complete coverage from the set of the film: Set Report | D. Eric Robertson (Visual FX) Interview...

Paul W.S. Anderson is a changed man. Since directing the first Resident Evil , he's had a child with actress and wife Milla Jovovich, and he's fallen head over heels for working in 3D. In fact, he's applying the technology to the Evil franchise for Resident Evil: Afterlife , which finds him back in the director's chair (it should be noted he's written all the films).
