Moonfall's Epic New Trailer Delivers Worldwide Disaster Thrills

The full trailer for Moonfall has been released. The new disaster movie from Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow) releases on February 4, 2022.

While September's first teaser suggested that the terrible disaster about to hit the Earth was literally the moon falling from the sky for some reason, this full promo reveals there's more to the plot than that. It starts with a character played by Donald Sutherland (The Hunger Games) stating that the Apollo 11 mission in 1969 discovered "something" on the moon they couldn't reveal but had grave consequences for our planet fives decades later.

We then see Patrick Wilson (Aquaman) leading a mission to fly inside the moon to presumably stop whatever is causing it to get closer to the Earth. Down on the Earth itself, there are tidal waves, collapsing buildings, and general mass destruction delivered in that way that Emmerich does so well. Check it out below:

Moonfall also stars Halle Berry (John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum), John Bradley (Game of Thrones), Michael Peña (the Ant-Man films), and Charlie Plummer (All the Money in the World). 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 other disaster movie news, it was reported that last year's 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.
