Disaster Movie Moonfall Trailer Features A Falling Moon And Global Mayhem

The first trailer for Moonfall is here. The latest disaster movie from Independence Day director Roland Emmerich hits theaters on February 4, 2022.

The trailer opens with John F. Kennedy's famous 1962 "We choose to go to the Moon" speech, in which the President spoke about the ambition and challenges of the US's plans to put a man on the moon. This is followed by footage of something going very wrong in space, as the moon starts to move towards the Earth, causing worldwide chaos and destruction. Emmerich's previous disaster movies also include 2012 and The Day After Tomorrow, and it looks like this latest film will similarly deliver epic destruction on a global scale. Check the trailer out below:

Moonfall stars Halle Berry (John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum), Patrick Wilson (Aquaman), John Bradley (Game of Thrones), Michael Peña (the Ant-Man films), Charlie Plummer (All the Money in the World), and Donald Sutherland (The Hunger Games). The movie has a reported production budget of $140 million, making it one of the most expensive independent movies ever. In the US, it will be released by Lionsgate.

In related news, it was recently reported that last year's disaster movie Greenland is getting a sequel. The movie will be titled Greenland: Migration and will once more star Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin, with Ric Roman Waugh directing. The first movie was a surprise international success last year.
