Apollo 18: Big Announcement Tomorrow and Decoder Game Continues Dan Koelsch, February 16, 2011February 17, 2011 We haven’t heard much in the past few weeks from Apollo 18, but now we may know why.

Both the Facebook and Twitter pages for the Weinstein Company sci-fi thriller have posted updates today saying “Get ready for a big ‘Apollo 18’ announcement tomorrow!”. What could this be? I’m guessing a trailer since the film comes in just over 2 months (April 22nd). Keep an eye out on the official website and YouTube page for the film tomorrow.

The winners get some great nerdy prizes like these listed below.•1 Remote Control Moon in My Room – $29.95 •1 When We Left Earth, The NASA Missions DVD Set – $39.99 •1 Moon Machines (DVD) – $24.98The contest ends on February 22nd, and you get the full details and rules here.
