First trailer for ‘The Europa Report’
The viral marketing campaign for upcoming sci-fi movie The Europa Report – in which astronauts seek out life on Jupiter’s frigid moon of Europa – has been underway almost a year now. See, for example, the website for faux aerospace corporation Europa Ventures, where you’ll find a ‘live’ video feed showing astronauts onboard the spacecraft Europa 1. The site’s intro text reads:
“For decades, scientists have theorized
the existence of liquid water oceans on Jupiter's moon, Europa. We've recently
discovered new, captivating evidence that these sub-surface oceans do exist and
could support life.
We've sent six astronauts from space
programs throughout the world on a three year journey to Europa to explore its
oceans and confirm these findings.
We're proud to be at the forefront of
the effort to prove the existence of extra-terrestrial life within our solar
system, within our lifetimes.”
Now, the first teaser trailer has
landed over at ComingSoon.net, giving us the first look at the
spaceship Europa and a taste of the score by composer Bear McCready (The
Walking Dead and Battlestar
Galactica)...

Report stars Sharlto Copley (District 9), Michael Nyqvist (Mission: Impossible - Ghost

Here’s the official synopsis:
“A group of astronauts, handpicked from around the world, make the arduous journey to Jupiter's frigid, glacial moon Europa in search of extraterrestrial life. The only thing more intimidating and unpredictable than the trip itself is what the team will encounter upon arrival...”
