Warner Bros. have picked up a spec script from the writer/director of The Fourth Kind Olatunde Osunsanmi called Dark Moon, which is in no way to be confused with the recently revealed subtitle of Michael Bay’s next Transformers film.

Here’s how THR describe the scene Osunsanmi plans to lay before us,

[Dark Moon] takes on the idea that  manned moon missions did not stop with Apollo 17 and follows a black ops post-Apollo mission sent to the moon to explore previously classified discoveries and its unintended and disturbing consequences.

Akiva Goldsman will be on production duties, following his work on the Paranormal Activity sequel released this week. It’s a sound idea, though I wonder how many more iterations the found footage device, which Dark Moon will employ, can stand. Will it bring something new to what is, on paper, a fairly standard plot?

Here’s the new trailer for The Fourth Kind which stars Milla Jovovich, Will Patton, Elias Koteas and is directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi. It’s released 6th November.

Synopsis: 1n 1972, a scale of measurement was established for alien encounters. When a UFO is sighted, it is called an encounter of the first kind. When evidence is collected, it is known as an encounter of the second kind. When contact is made with extraterrestrials, it is the third kind. The next level, abduction, is the fourth kind. This encounter has been the most difficult to document”¦until now. Structured unlike any film before it, The Fourth Kind is a provocative thriller set in modern-day Nome, Alaska, where””mysteriously since the 1960s””a disproportionate number of the population has been reported missing every year.

Despite multiple FBI investigations of the region, the truth has never been discovered. Here in this remote region, psychologist Dr. Abigail Tyler (Milla Jovovich) began videotaping sessions with traumatized patients and unwittingly discovered some of the most disturbing evidence of alien abduction ever documented. Using never-before-seen archival footage that is integrated into the film, The Fourth Kind exposes the terrified revelations of multiple witnesses. Their accounts of being visited by alien figures all share disturbingly identical details, the validity of which is investigated throughout the film.
