A new feature film about paranormal radio pioneer Art Bell, W6OBB (SK) may be on the horizon. Apparently Paul Giamatti (John Adams, The Holdovers, Sideways) is attached to play Bell who died in 2018. For a decade, Bell had the ears and minds of late night AM radio with Coast to Coast, his talk show exploring high weirdness of all kinds—from extraterrestrial conspiracies to doomsday scenarios, remote viewing, and Bigfoot. Always served with a heaping helping of ham radio.

He broadcast stories about Area 51 and alien abductions across the nation from his radio station in Pahrump (Nevada). Now, a movie about Art Bell’s life is said to be the subject of a Hollywood bidding war.
