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?
