Trailer for Sci-Fi Thriller 'Apollo 18'
Source: Apple
The trailer for Dimension Films' "found footage" sci-fi thriller 'Apollo 18' was released this week (and no, it's not about the 1992 They Might Be Giants album). The fictional "real" account posits that in December, 1973 - a year after the last official manned mission to the moon - two American astronauts were sent on a top secret mission to the moon by the US Department of Defense. However, things didn't turn out as they hoped, and as a result we've never gone back.
Combining the claustrophobia of 'Alien' with the body-horror and paranoia of 'The Thing', the trailer shows moon spiders, strange burial grounds, crew infections, and possibly alien footprints. This could fill the viewer with a sense of dread and foreboding, or this could just be another case of the trailer revealing way too much about the film and ruining the surprise.
'Apollo 18', produced by Timur Bekmambetov's "Bekmambetov Projects Ltd", is set for theatrical release on April 22nd.

@ Dr. Detfink - I couldn't disagree about the first Transformers teaser more. Every person I know and the internet was buzzing after seeing that teaser of the Mars Rover being attacked. No one had a clue about what that movie was before it showed the Transformers logo. It did, however, set a tone and serious feel for the film that it did not have in the end but it could not have been more effective, very much like the Cloverfield teaser did.
@ Patrick - You summed it up pretty well. There aren't many films that manage to seem realistically "in-the-moment" in the POV style. IMO Cloverfield did it well and so did REC (along with the remake Quarantine). The Last Exorcism was pretty decent as well.

I dunno, the whole POV thing always ends up looking so forced for me. When you, the audience, are supposed to be imagining what you are watching as a "home movie" type of thing, I always end up noticing the problems in the acting more, dialogue seems contrived in these movies also, because someone is trying to write a script for a movie that is supposed to feel 100% unscripted, and also, in the real world, you rarely get a good "money shot" with a home movie. Always end up looking so horridly fake to me.
I'll probablly still see it, but I have not been impressed with the mockumentry-horror genre so far.
