Apollo 18

Here’s the Trailer for APOLLO 18, the sci-fi horror film, done judging by what’s seen thus far, in a ‘found footage’ BLAIR WITCH style.

Officially, Apollo 17, launched December 17th, 1972 was the last manned mission to the moon. But a year later, in December of 1973, two American astronauts were sent on a secret mission to the moon funded by the US Department of Defense. What you are about to see is the actual footage which the astronauts captured on that mission. While NASA denies its authenticity, others say it’s the real reason we’ve never gone back to the moon.

Directed by Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego from a screenplay by Brian Miller.
Not yet rated, due in theaters September 2nd from the Weinstein Company.
