Dimension Returns to the Moon, Full ‘Apollo 18’ Trailer!

Published

on

Talk about bizarre, random timing. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that just an hour ago I was researching the alleged history of NASA’s Apollo missions. I enjoy a good conspiracy and the actual events surrounding the Apollo missions are straight up bizarre.

I think it’s exciting that director Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego took these alleged stories and turned it into a pretty cool looking feature arriving in theaters September 2. Inside you’ll find the full trailer for Apollo 18, the latest found footage horror film.

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.

I’m sure at some point I’ll collect all of my finding and share them with you guys, but the short version is this: NASA’s Apollo missions to the moon ended at 17 (claiming budgetary constraints). Oddly enough, the last few missions were focused on similar coordinates on the dark side of the moon (why focus on one specific area?). Online “evidence” (if that’s what you want to call it) purports that NASA continued through Apollo 20 investigating structures millions of years old. Interested? Google it. It’s fun(ny?) stuff.

Christopher Landon to Helm Feature Adaptation of Grady Hendrix’s ‘The Final Girl Support Group’

The Final Girl Support Group

A new feature adaptation of author Grady Hendrix‘s slasher book The Final Girl Support Group is now on the way from Paramount Pictures, and Deadline reports that it’s found its director in Christopher Landon (Drop, Happy Death Day).

The two previously collaborated on My Best Friend’s Exorcism.

In The Final Girl Support Group, “Lynette is a real-life final girl who survived a massacre. For more than a decade, she’s been meeting with five other final girls and their therapist in a support group for those who survived the unthinkable, working to put their lives back together. Then one woman misses a meeting, and their worst fears are realized—someone knows about the group and is determined to rip their lives apart again, piece by piece.”

“But the thing about final girls is that no matter how bad the odds, how dark the night, how sharp the knife, they will never, ever give up.”

I wrote in my novel review for BD, “Hendrix puts his characters through the absolute wringer. It’s a bloody, vicious voyage for the flawed heroine, both physically and emotionally. In terms of action and horror, Support Group delivers breakneck pacing and thrills.”

Five years ago, Andy Muschietti & Barbara Muschietti (Mama, It, It Chapter Two) were attached to produce a planned series adaptation for HBO Max alongside Charlize Theron. While Theron is no longer producing, the Muschiettis remain on board under their Double Dream label.

Paramount Pictures is also developing Hendrix’s sci-fi novella, BadAsstronauts.
