NASA Thinks You Should Know Apollo 18 Isn’t Real

Posted on September 1, 2011 by | Leave a comment

When the Weinstein Co. first announced their Apollo 18 project last year, they sent out a press release stating that Russian producer Timur Bekmambetov had discovered actual Apollo 18 footage that would be incorporated in their “documentary.” Just three hours later, the studio retracted the release with a new one that curiously did not mention the footage. But then they released a trailer for Apollo 18 that opened by claiming “the following is the recovered footage from Apollo 18.” Confusing much? On the eve of the film’s release, NASA is finally coming forward to talk about Apollo 18 .

Dance Your Hopes Away: Fraggle Rock Movie Not Happening Anytime Soon

Posted on March 30, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Weinstein Co. Pushes Apollo 18 Release Back to January 2012

Posted on March 25, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Looks like The Weinstein Co. has discovered a new release date for the Timur Bekmambetov-produced “found footage” moon landing pic Apollo 18 . (In the immortal words of Bob Weinstein, ” Found, baby! “) The bad news is that the mystery project, originally slated to open next month, is moving aaaaall the way from April 22 to Jan. 6, 2012. Yeesh. A last-minute nine month delay doesn’t bode terribly well for any film, but then again, so little is known about Apollo 18 just yet that maybe it doesn’t matter much. At least this gives the Weinsteins plenty of time to add ReleaseQuest™: Apollo 18 to their slate of upcoming video game adaptations . [ Deadline ]
