Director Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego is currently working on a new sci-fi thriller named Apollo 18. Based on the screen play by Brian Miller, Apollo 18 is mockumentary based on the officially cancelled Apollo 18 mission. The new movie tells the true story as to “why we haven’t gone back” to the moon. Its marketing and viral techniques seem typical, yet intriguing.
