Moonwalkers — New Int'l Red Band Trailer

added: Mon, Dec 21st '15

Here's a brand-new international red band trailer for the darkly comic satire "Moonwalkers," starring Harry Potter's Rupert Grint as a floundering 1969 rock-band manager and Hellboy's Ron Perlman as a CIA enforcer who mistakes him for being Stanley Kubrick's London agent, while NASA tries to secretly hire the "2001" director to shoot fake footage of the moon landing -- just in case, the real mission fails.

Loosely inspired by the notorious conspiracy theory that Kubrick supposedly faked the moon landing on a London soundstage, the movie is the feature directing debut of French commercial and music video helmer Antoine Bardou-Jacquet.

English screenwriter Dean Craig, who wrote 2007's "Death at a Funeral" and its 2010 American remake, penned the film, which also stars Irish actor Robert Sheehan (Misfits) as Grint's drugged-out roommate who he convinces to impersonate the famed director. Of course, their scheme doesn't exactly go as planned.

"Moonwalkers," which premiered at this year's SXSW, will open in select theaters on January 15th.

synopsis:
What if Apollo 11 never actually made it? What if, in reality, Stanley Kubrick secretly shot the famous images of the moon landing in a studio, working for the US administration?

This is the premise of a totally plausible conspiracy theory that takes us to swinging sixties London, where a stubborn CIA agent (Ron Perlman) will never find Kubrick but instead is forced to team up with a lousy manager (Rupert Grint) of a seedy rock band to develop the biggest con of all time.

directed by Antoine Bardou-Jacquet
