'Apollo 18' Trailer

Dimension Films have released the movie trailer for Gonzalo López-Gallego's sci-fi horror thrillerApollo 18, a film about "the real mission to space in the 1970's that was canceled by NASA." Produced by Night Watch/Wanted director Timur Bekmambetov, the subtitle on the movie poster is "There's a Reason We've Never Gone Back To The Moon." NASA insists that Apollo 18 never happened but some conspiracy theorists believe that the Department of Defense and NASA launched a covert mission to the moon in 1972. Bob Weinstein cam aboard to finance the film after Bekmambetov showed him footage that was supposedly shot by the Apollo 18 crew.

Looks creepy, and the first person perspective stuff reads almost like Paranormal Activity meets Alien, but set on the moon. Watch the trailer embedded after the jump. Please leave your thoughts in the comments below.
