Peli wrote and produced the new horror movie "Chernobyl Diaries," about six tourists who get stranded in a city called Pripyat, one of the cities in Chernobyl that were affected in the nuclear explosion in 1986.

Horror = Tragedy + Time in 'Chernobyl Diaries' Trailer
Warner Bros.
Too soon?
Actually, we're surprised it took Hollywood this long to cash in on the Chernobyl disaster, as the video game industry has been at it since at least 2007 (with the first-person shooter, "S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl"). However, it still feels kind of … icky, and not just in that "horror movie" way. Get More »
