Just last month, The Weinstein Company pushed back the release date for Timur Bekmambetov‘s (The Darkest Hour) latest production, entitled Apollo 18, directed by Gonzalo López-Gallego (La piel azul) from March 4th, 2011 to April 22nd, 2011.

As a consolation prize for having to wait a bit longer, Dimension Films has released the first trailer from the film, which you can check out below!

Trailer: Apollo 18

The film revolves around recently “found footage” shot by the crew of an abandoned moon mission that NASA claims never took place in the early 1970s. The lost footage reveals the existence of alien life and explains why NASA has hidden the evidence for all of these years.

Apollo 18 is slated to hit theaters on April 22nd, 2011.
