Gotham/Principal, producers of the upcoming “Maze Runner: Scorch Trials,” has partnered with WGA award-winners Bryce Zabel and Jackie Zabel and their Stellar Productions to produce “Captured,” based on the first reported alien abduction that took place 54 years ago this week.
“Captured” tells the story of Betty and Barney Hill, an interracial couple from Portsmouth, New Hampshire who said they were captured by a UFO the night of Sept. 19, 1961. A black postal clerk and a white social worker, the Hills claimed that they had been studied by extraterrestrials and then returned to their lives with missing memories that were later retrieved under hypnosis.
