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.
Neither of these two movies include landing on the moon, curiously.
According to most considerations, landing on the moon was the seminal scientific accomplishment of all mankind's history.
And yet Hollywood has left the topic completely, emphatically and profoundly... alone.
Weird, huh.

And one The trip to the moon done in 1902. But I guess that doesn't count in your twisted mind.

Good point.
I had forgotten about that fantasy.

Two of them claim to be fact based, leaving 210 of them otherwise, i.e., fantasy, sci-fi, horror, comedy, etc..
The most important scientific event in human history, and Hollywood made exactly...
ZERO
movies based on the event--- despite the blockbuster status of Apollo 13.
It's almost as though they didn't want to show what a moon landing filmed in a studio looks like in comparison to the "real one."

Why do you think they did 13? Because of the tremendous engineering feat of getting to the moon? No, it was because of the engineering genius getting them back alive after the explosion on Apollo. It is DRAMA that drives movies.
Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeI'm obviously okay with that.
You are indeed sir, you are indeed.
Weirder still, however, is the fact that Hollywood has fallen completely silent on the landing.
We've made factually-based movies about nearly everything under the sun, but this one topic... nada.
Nada on NASA.

So was the sinking of the Titanic.
Or JFK's murder.
Here's how "myopic" my view of movie making is, professor.
Here's a list of 15 movies produced by Hollywood which were based on true stories--- actually it's only 13 of them that are based on truth, as two of them, Apollo 13 and United 93 are both based on hoaxes perpetrated by the shadow government.
You want drama?
Could it been any more dramatic than that first step onto the lunar surface?
Hard to think of one.
And yet... nada on NASA.

On that list I see 13 with "moon" in the title.

So your Wikipedia list missed some. Note your list includes only those movies that have Wikipedia articles.

No one is doing their scientific research on Moonstruck anytime soon.

Is your argument that Hollywood is part of the conspiracy? If so, surely they would be making a plethora of films about the moon landings to add to their authenticity?

Nonetheless, it was a documentary and they don't typically do well.
Dramatizations are where the money is, and on this epochal topic, Hollywood has done exactly nothing.
My guess is, they don't want to outdo what has already been done, thus casting any more doubt onto the 'event.'
