Check Out a Retrospective Timeline of Past ‘Apollo’ Missions

Published

on

Now that Dimension Films has decided on an August 26 release for the Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego-directed Apollo 18, the viral marketing campaigns are about the kick-start back up.

The first is a newly launched retrospective timeline on the past Apollo missions. The timeline recaps the first 17 Apollo missions. As you may notice, they will also launch a USA vs. USSR timeline in the future, capturing the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union. Pretty cool stuff!

Here’s the plot crunch for the found footage sci-fi 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.

The classic murder-mystery game Clue is headed back to screens both big and small, with Variety reporting this week that Sony is planning potential film and television adaptations.

Variety reports, “Hasbro Entertainment has closed a deal with Sony‘s TriStar Pictures and Sony Pictures Television for the film and TV rights for the beloved board game.”

“Sony is the perfect partner to adapt a property as culturally impactful and mystery-defining as ‘Clue,’” said Hasbro’s Zev Foreman and Gabriel Marano. “Nicole Brown, Katherine Pope, and their teams are tremendous creative collaborators and ideal partners to help us figure out after 75 years if it was Colonel Mustard in the conservatory with the candlestick.”

Clue was created way back in 1943 by Anthony E. Pratt, and the board game was of course notably turned into a feature film starring Tim Curry in 1985 and a mini-series in 2011.

Ryan Reynolds had more recently been attached to star in a remake for 20th Century Studios, while Fox Entertainment had been developing an animated series a few years back.
