There’s a lot of talk today on the Internet involving a film called Europa Report, a new sci-fi thriller from Sebastian Cordero written by Philip Gelatt.
The film stars Sharlto Copley, Daniel Wu, Michael Nyqvist and Anamaria Marinca as a group of astronauts, handpicked from around the world, make the arduous journey to Jupiter’s frigid, glacial moon Europa in search of extraterrestrial life. The only thing more intimidating and unpredictable than the trip itself is what the team will encounter upon arrival…
Today a teaser trailer of sorts has arrived and includes a link to a viral site for the film that includes the following:
For decades, scientists have theorized the existence of liquid water oceans on Jupiter’s moon, Europa. We’ve recently discovered new, captivating evidence that these sub-surface oceans do exist and could support life.
We’ve sent six astronauts from space programs throughout the world on a three year journey to Europa to explore its oceans and confirm these findings.
We’re proud to be at the forefront of the effort to prove the existence of extra-terrestrial life within our solar system, within our lifetimes.
My big question is to wonder if this will be able to differentiate itself from Apollo 18 because it already seems to be relying heavily on the found footage angle.
Check out the teaser below.
