Apollo 11 Trailer: Moon Landing Doc Lifts Off at Sundance
If you are interested in the true story behind First Man, there are already quite a few great documentaries out there that cover elements of it, but this year we’re getting a new dedicated entry from director Todd Douglas Miller (Dinosaur 13). Simply titled Apollo 11, it focuses entirely on the legendary mission that resulted in Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin touching down on the moon. It is culled directly from the NASA vaults, relying heavily on never before seen 70mm footage without any talking head interviews whatsoever. The movie just premiered this past weekend at Sundance and seems to be a hit with critics (as illustrated by the many glowing quotes in the trailer). Apollo 11 will be released by Neon and CNN Films later this year; check out the trailer after the jump and see what you think.
