ALIENS – the kind from another world, that is – are always good for laughs.

Fox is developing a pilot about a family that moves into a gated community only to discover that all of their neighbors are from another planet, according to Variety.

The show, from writer-producer Dan Fogelman, was inspired by the gated community in southern New Jersey where his mother lives.

“Whenever I go there, I look around, and it seems that all the people there should be aliens,” he said.

Fogelman is best known for writing the screenplay to Pixar’s “Cars.”
