View Full Version : Matt Damon to play Bob Lazar?
Matt Damon's dreams of playing real-life alien expert Bob Lazar are back on - a new biopic about the scientist has been greenlighted.
Damon was reportedly onboard to play Lazar four years ago when movie executives at New Line were hoping to turn his life story and his recollections of working at S4, a secret military base located at Papoose Lake in Nevada, into a movie, but film plans stalled.
Now Curmudgeon Films - the company behind Cameron Diaz's movie My Sister's Keeper - has taken over the project and Kenneth Yakkel is adapting TV interviews Lazar conducted with Las Vegas reporter George Knapp for the movie.
A spokesman for the project says, "2009 marks the 20th anniversary of Lazar's amazing account of back engineering one of nine alien flying saucers recovered by the U.S. military.
"Threats on his (Lazar) life forced him to go public with the story. The film is based on his amazing eyewitness accounts of working at S4.
"Matt Damon would be at the top of our list to play Lazar. I had heard he was interested in it years ago when New Line was going to do the Lazar story."

I just get the feeling this is going to be a movie that Lazar is not going to enjoy seeing...

i think they recruited a gerbil.
Either Danny DeVito
or
Christopher Lloyd - a Jim Ignatowski type from the Taxi series as the CIA pilot then a Doc Brown type to go with his current scientific studies and theories.

More Lazar movie related rumours
from about half way down this page...
http://www.mindcontrolforums.com/hambone/dream.html
...Nichols was a technical advisor and played a bit part as "Colonel Sarnac" in the film Under Siege, which starred his friend Steven Seagal (18). According the Bob Lazar's associate Gene Huff, "Lazar and I know Segal and Segal wants to make an ET related movie and plans on using Lazar and I as consultants. Segal originally wanted Lazar's story but Lazar had already signed with New Line"
Now that would have been fucking brilliant...Steven Seagal IS Bob Lazar! breaking all those spindly aliens wrists with his Aikido skills...
blowing away the Camo Dudes with someone like Rob Schneider as his comedy John Lear sidekick as they get caught filming the top secret test flights in the desert..
