Moon Conspiracy Theory Spin in DOTM

It has been a while since my last post. Well, that's simply because there is not much interesting piece of news regarding Dark of the Moon lately. Anyway, we got one now.

After seeing the teaser trailer of Transformers: Dark of the Moon, we all know that the movie plot has something to do with the moon landing. Recently, the producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura spoke to the Associated Press about how the moon landing ties into the movie plot and add a spin to moon conspiracy theories

No, this story involves what Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were doing during those 21 minutes of radio and video silence on the Apollo 11 mission. You think they were turning over rocks and drinking Tang? Think again. Turns out the two astronauts were actually bouncing over to the dark side of the moon, investigating a crashed alien space ship that turned out to be — yes — a massive Transformer robot.

"We give you a whole new reason why the moon landing actually did happen," says Lorenzo di Bonaventura, producer of the Transformers movies. "Everyone was right. The conspiracy existed. It was just a different one than people thought."

"With moon conspiracies, there's a contradiction at work," says di Bonaventura. "There's a deep-seated romanticism about the moon with the poetry and romantic settings. Then you have this notion that there's this gigantic lie propagated about what may be 20th Century man's greatest single achievement."
