First movie shot in space
The first science fiction film shot in space
could be coming to viewers here on Earth. This
after NASA confirms it's almost ready to give approval for the project.
Titled Apogee of Fear, the film was shot by space
tourist Richard Garriott W5KWQ during his 2008
trip to the International Space Station.
Garriott
shot the basic footage for the film, using
astronauts as his cast. He then added scenes and
visual effects after his return to Earth.
The film was privately shown at Dragon*Con last
year, but has been in legal limbo since
then. This is because it wasn’t included in
Garriott’s deal with NASA.
Now the space agency
confirms that it is working with W5KWQ to
facilitate the video's release.
