We originally ran the second still from Oren Peli’s latest project, Chernobyl Diaires, last week via the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, but now thanks to the main himself we have the whole official enchilada. Dig it!

Chernobyl Diaries, an original story by Paranormal Activity mastermind Peli, is set in the city of Prypiat, which once housed the workers of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor. It’s written by Peli, Carey Van Dyke, and Shane Van Dyke and directed by Brad Parker.

Production took place in September and October 2011 in Eastern Europe with Peli and Brian Witten (Dark City) producing. Alcon Entertainment’s Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson are exec producers. It was financed and sold internationally by FilmNation Entertainment, and Warner Bros. will be releasing it later this year on Memorial Day weekend.

After a brief exploration of the abandoned city, however, the group soon find themselves stranded, only to discover that they are not alone…
