Warner Bros. has picked up the spec script Dark Moon from The Fourth Kind helmer Olatunde Osunsanmi, who will also direct the film. Akiva Goldsman will produce via his Weed Road.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the project “takes on the idea that manned moon missions did not stop with Apollo 17 and follows a black ops post-Apollo mission sent to the moon to explore previously classified discoveries and its unintended and disturbing consequences.” The film will tell the story in the “found footage” format.
Osunsanmi is attached to direct The Commuter and he adapted The Orphanage (based on the novel by Robert Buettner) for Davis Entertainment.
