'Apollo 18': “We found it. Found baby!” Uh huh.

The Internet has been buzzing for the past week about the trailer for Dimension’s new science fiction/horror flickApollo 18, which claims to be found footage of a secret moon landing in 1973. MTV even did a scene-by-scene breakdown of the preview. In its first six days, the trailer has been viewed a whopping 4.3 million times. With this movie and the success of Cloverfield and Paranormal Activity, it’s apparent that “found-footage” films are becoming a popular trend for studios. “People intrinsically know there are secrets being held from us,” explains Dimension head Bob Weinstein. “Look at WikiLeaks: There are secrets that are really true to the world. It’s not bogus.” Weinstein also balks at the idea that this is a work of fiction. “We didn’t shoot anything,” he says. “We found it. Found baby!” Uh huh.
