Dimension’s ‘Apollo 18’ has been bumped people! We were merely weeks from the opening of director Gonzalo López-Gallego’s new ‘found footage’ sci-fi thriller but sadly Dimension have decided to move it back from it’s originally slated 22 April 2011 release all the way to 6 January 2012! That’s quite the bump I’m sure you will agree. The reason for it? Well, perhaps it has something to do with another Dimension release scheduled for the week before? ‘Scream 4’ is of course set to hit theatres on the 15 April and perhaps don’t want to put all their horror eggs in one basket – I mean I’m certain ‘Scream 4’ is going to be hitting the top spot for a few weeks at least. Just why it needs to go all the way to January we’re not sure. Brian Miller and Cory Goodman co-wrote the script and Timur Bekmambetov (currently working on ‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’) is producing. Check out the plot and teaser one-sheet below.
“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.”
