The shocking thriller follows a group of travelers on an “extreme vacation” excursion to Pripyat, a deserted town near the site of the infamous Chernobyl nuclear reactor that devastated the area after a meltdown more than 25 years ago now.
Written by Peli, Carey Van Dyke and Shane Van Dyke, Chernobyl Diaries stars Devin Kelley, Jonathan Sadowski, Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, Olivia Taylor Dudley, Jesse McCartney, Nathan Phillips and Dimitri Diatchenko. Peli also served as producer alongside Brian Witten and executive producers Richard Sharkey, Rob Cowan, Andrew A. Kosove, Broderick Johnson, Allison Silver, Milan Popelka and Alison Cohen.
