First Trailer for Moon Landing Conspiracy Indie 'Operation Avalanche'

"We're going to use his space movie to make sure the real space movie looks like space. Do you understand how crazy that is?!" Lionsgate has released a trailer for an indie called Operation Avalanche, billed as a documentary (even though it's a fictional found footage feature) about the people who faked the moon landing. This trailer is perfectly timed as today (July 21st) is the 47th anniversary of Apollo 11 landing on the moon. This film first premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, and it's a fun conspiracy theory thriller with some impressive low budget work. The filmmaking is outstanding and I can't wait to see where director Matt Johnson goes in his career. It stars Johnson Owen Williams as two CIA agents who end up in a conspiracy theory faking the moon landing since NASA can't pull it off. You just have to see this for yourself.

Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Matt Johnson's Operation Avalanche, direct from YouTube:

In 1967, four undercover CIA agents were sent to NASA posing as a documentary film crew. What they discovered led to one of the biggest conspiracies in American history. Operation Avalanche is the second feature film directed by filmmaker Matt Johnson, of the indie comedy The Dirties before this. The screenplay is written by Josh Boles and Matt Johnson. This was made with a very limited budget, and it first premiered in the NeXT section at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. It also played at SXSW and the Hot Docs Film Festival. Lionsgate will open Operation Avalanche in select theaters + on VOD starting September 16th later this fall. This one comes highly recommended, be sure to see it. Who's interested?
