Trailer for 'Apollo 18' thriller now online

The new trailer for "Apollo 18" has just hit the Web, and you can watch it right after the jump. No, it's not a sequel to "Apollo 13." Instead, you can think of it as a "Paranormal Activity" type thriller set on the moon. The film, helmed by Gonzalo López-Gallego, will hit theaters April 22, 2011.

Officially, Apollo 17 was the last manned mission to the moon. But a year later, in December 1973, two American astronauts were sent on a secret mission to the moon funded by the US Department of Defense. This film features the actual footage which the astronauts captured on that mission.

The concept of "Paranormal Activity" is quickly growing old, which means "Apollo 18" has a tough mission in terms of satisfying audiences. That said, the setting of the moon may actually give the film the claustrophobic feel it will need to keep us engaged. At this time, I have mixed feelings about this one.
