The first trailer for the new sci-fi thriller "Apollo 18," directed by Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego, has arrived! Aren't you so excited?!
Well, we've never heard of it, but we still hope you are. "Apollo 18" explores the reason why Apollo 17 was NASA's last mission to the moon through a found-footage approach. "In the years that followed there was unconfirmed intelligence of an 18 mission. No evidence has ever been found... Until now." the trailer reads.
NASA wanted to send three more Apollos to the moon in the '70s, but canceled them due to budgetary reasons. The film says it's about the real mission to space that was canceled by NASA because of what the astronauts found. Its tagline? "There's a Reason We've Never Gone Back to the Moon."
The trailer follows the astronauts (on the 18th mission, duh!) as their mission is turned into -- what else? -- a fight against aliens inhabiting the moon. Seems like if they are bitten by the alien, they start to go a bit space-crazy.
The film was written by Brian Miller and Corey Goodman. "Apollo 18" lands in theaters on Apr. 22, 2011.
"Never Gone Back to the Moo"?
I've never heard of this movie either, so I will wait for reviews before deciding whether to see it or not.
as close as we are to finishing the space shuttle program, this is not the right to make a movie that could potentially ruin the respect of the NASA program
I was so proud that America got to land on the Moon six times during Late 1960's-Early 1970's and sadly to say I say the Movie Apollo 18 is doing everything to disrespect the NASA Manned Space Program and everything is bunch of bolonie.
However I do want America to return to the Moon in the future and when it does happen I will ask the Good Lord to bring Safety and Guidance to our Brave Men and Women Space Explorers.
We don't have to worry about Aliens conquering earth and destrying the planet--we're doing a great job of that all by ourselves. We desperately NEED to continue to get into space, or in the not so distant future, alien archeologists will visit us searching for signs of life and clues to how the humans vanished. This movie sounds like another retread, same old thing.
gggggggggggggggggggggg
This is why Amurkins and Hollywud R so stoopid...there really was an Apollo 18, where the Pentagon Industrial Complex came out of the closet on July 19, 1975, by admitting it teamed up with Commie Russia for the fake "moon" race.
