UFO PROJECT TO SCREEN

HOLLYWOOD - The life story of a former U.S. government
scientist who claims he worked on a top-secret project
examining captured UFOs will be turned into a film for the
big screen.

New Line Cinema said it put the project on an earthly fast
track for director Chuck Russell ("A Nightmare on Elm
Street III") and will start shooting in the fall or early
1994.

New Line finalized the deal for the film after the
scientist, Bob Lazar, considered competing offers from
producer Steve Tisch, Simpson-Bruckheimer Productions
and actor Steven Seagal, said Michael De Luca, New Line's
CEO.

"Bob Lazar was confident that New Line wouldn't take his
story and turn it into a cartoon. What makes his story
intriguing, thrilling and ultimately disturbing is the
evidence suggesting that government-sponsored research
on UFOs actually did occur."

Lazar, a nuclear physicist, said that in 1979 he was among
a team of scientists recruited by Naval Intelligence to
conduct secret "black engineering" research on UFOs
the government captured and stored in the desert.
