Found footage genre goes to Moon

Films like Paranormal Activity and Cloverfield have made "found footage" a rather lucrative genre, and now the writer of The Fourth Kind wants to take it all the way to the final frontier.

The Fourth Kind scribe Olatunde Osunsanmi will write and direct Dark Moon, a found footage horror film that will chronicle the story of secret Apollo Moon missions that continued after Apollo 17.

In the film, a black ops team is sent to the Moon to get to the bottom of some strange and mysterious happenings, and they bring along a video camera and record the various ways in which things go horribly wrong. I'm just guessing on that last part, but I think I'm probably not too far off the mark since these films are never about events that work out smoothly.

Anyway, Akiva Goldsman will be producing the film, which will be released by Warner Bros. Before he can unleash the low-gravity terror, however, Osunsanmi will direct the upcoming The Commuter for the studio.
