Apollo 10½

Apollo 10½ is an upcoming American film written, directed, and produced by Richard Linklater. It stars Glen Powell, Jack Black, Zachary Levi and Josh Wiggins. Parts of the film, which was shot in live action, will be animated using a technique similar to the rotoscoping used in Linklater's 2006 film A Scanner Darkly. The film takes place during the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing and will explore children on earth's fantasies about the event.[1]
