We have the first trailer and poster for Chernobyl Diaries. Produced by Paranormal Activity creator Oren Peli, the film was recently picked up by Warner Bros. and will be released on May 25th:

"Chernobyl Diaries is an original story from Oren Peli, who first terrified audiences with his groundbreaking thriller, 'Paranormal Activity'. The film follows a group of six young tourists who, looking to go off the beaten path, hire an 'extreme tour' guide. Ignoring warnings, he takes them into the city of Pripyat, the former home to the workers of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor, but a deserted town since the disaster more than 25 years ago. After a brief exploration of the abandoned city, however, the group soon finds themselves stranded, only to discover that they are not alone."

The film is directed by Brad Parker (Let Me In – Second Unit Director) and stars Jonathan Sadowski, Devin Kelley, Jesse McCartney, Olivia Taylor Dudley, Nathan Phillips, Ingrid Bolso Berdal and Dimitry Diatchenko.
