Paranormal Activity creator Oren Peli will team with Paranormal Activity 2 screenwriter Michael R. Perry for another cinéma-vérité experience in found footage horror - this one coming to small screens everywhere.

The Hollywood Reporter says that the title of the project is The River, and the story involves a search for a person who went missing on the Amazon river and employs the found-video footage format popularized by The Blair Witch Project, Cloverfield, and, of course, Paranormal Activity.

Dreamworks is near a deal at ABC whereby the pilot must be produced, otherwise a penalty is incurred. Sources say the network aggressively pursued the project, edging out also-interested NBC.

Look for more on this one really soon.
