"Moonfall", the film with which Roland Emerich will once again endanger the earth

Neither Thanos, nor Darkseid nor the Armageddon meteorite, if there is someone who has put the earth in check in the world of fiction, it is the director Roland Emerich. The director of world catastrophes is in his own right, having in his filmography films such as Tomorrow, 2012, Godzilla or Independence day, it was taking a long time to feel inspired by everything that has happened in 2020. According to Deadline, Roland Emerich would release his last movie Moonfall on February 4, 2022, because ironically, his catastrophe in fiction had to be delayed due to the pandemic in reality. As could be interpreted by its title, in Moonfall the moon has left its orbit and is hurtling towards the earth, so a group of brave heroes launch into space to fulfill an a priori impossible mission, landing on the lunar surface. risking everything to avoid the annihilation of the planet. The production has a cast with several well-known faces such as Halle Berry, Patrick Wilson, John Bradley, Michael Peña, Donald Sutherland, Charlie Plummer, Wenwen Yu and Eme Ikwuakor among many others. It is the independent film with the largest budget in years since it has 140 million to spend on its cast and on the many special effects that will surely have such a great catastrophe. The production company that has opted for this latest great Emerich project has been Lionsgate. This premiere at the beginning of the year leaves an exciting schedule for fiction on the big screen in 2022 with the Marvel villain, Morbius and with the adaptation of the video game Uncharted, starring Tom Holland.Let’s hope that in this mission they simply intend to correct the orbit to avoid the collision and do not intend to explode it into a thousand pieces as in the Bruce Willis film, since life on earth without a moon would be somewhat complicated. Although, maybe this serves as an excuse for Emerich to start a franchise. Catastrophe films are a recurring genre every year, but will the director manage to bring them back into fashion? It seems that the social reality in which we currently live, invites an increasing presence of this type of productions.
