Hollywood is known for squeezing everything possible out of any moneymaker possible.
One of its bigger hits, Apollo 13, brought in $355M worldwide was nominated for some 36 awards, winning 13, and yet Hollywood didn't go back to the well.
In fact, there are only two supposedly fact-based films from Hollywood on the space program, The Right Stuff and Apollo 13, out of well over 212 space-themed movies.Reveal Hidden Content
