PLOT Ten years after a freak swarm of mysterious alien tech disrupts a space mission, the moon’s orbit begins to change. If it continues on its new trajectory, the world as we know it could be destroyed. It’s up to two former astronauts — and a conspiracy theorist — to stop the extra-terrestrial threat and save the world.
WITH MOONFALL, YOU can practically imagine the pitch meeting that willed it into being. Somewhere in a Hollywood meeting room, thumbs twiddle, a whiteboard sits blank — and then someone chirps up, suddenly struck with inspiration: “What if the moon… fell?”High-fives all round. Take the rest of the day off. That’s lunch.
