Apollo 18 is an upcoming 2012 science fiction film directed by Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego and produced by Timur Bekmambetov. It will be Lopez-Gallego's first English-language film.
Plot
A found footage-style film about a post-Apollo 17 mission to the Moon that takes on a premise of why NASA discontinued the Apollo moon missions. The plot involves a government coverup of the Apollo 18 mission after Monsters on the Moon discovered the crew and began to kill them off one by one. Much of the back-story remains unknown, however the one trailer shows a Soviet LK Lander on the lunar surface, suggesting a plot connection with the canceled Soviet Moonshot.
Production
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Dimension Films head Bob Weinstein denied the film was a work of fiction, stating that “We didn’t shoot anything, we found it. Found baby!”. This claim was met with some skepticism, but was a joke.[2][3] The film will be distributed by Dimension Films.[4]
Release
The film was scheduled to be released theatrically on March 4, 2011.[5] This was changed to April 22, 2011.[6] In March 2011, the film's release date was pushed again, this time to January 6, 2012.[7]
