Roland Emmerich has decimated the Earth over and over. The master of disaster obliterated major cities in Independence Day, turned the planet into a frozen wasteland in The Day After Tomorrow, and ravaged the globe with seismic catastrophes in 2012. Now he’s back with Moonfall, his latest doomsday outing, that puts the Moon on a direct collision course with Earth.
“From Independence Day to The Day After Tomorrow to 2012, they are all different from each other,” Emmerich tells SFX. “Moonfall is also quite different because it’s 60-70% a space movie. It’s the race to stop the moon from crashing. In that regard, they are all unique… At least in my book.
“Moonfall is a very simple concept,” he continues. “The Moon is falling on the Earth, but it’s not what we think it is. That’s the premise. What you actually learn is the Moon is like a constructed object. They have to fly inside the Moon to solve the problem.
“Because it’s two very big objects nearly touching, two planets, it was very different from what I normally do,” Emmerich adds. “The Moon, since it’s the smaller object, would typically break apart, but then it doesn’t because it’s a built object. When it comes very close, it has all kinds of effects on Earth.”

Making Alien - Jaws in Space - Forty-five years on from its original release, Alien continues to terrify. We dissect what arguably remains the most chilling instalment in the saga
The seven-strong crew of the commercial mining spacecraft the Nostromo seal their fate after reluctantly responding to a mysterious distress signal on a hostile planet. Here, a face-hugging alien from a derelict ship impregnates and later kills executive officer Kane (John Hurt) after its offspring is birthed onboard. After being unleashed, the fearsome newborn with acid for blood proceeds to dispatch the remainder of the crew.Ridley Scott's much more convoluted prequels have yet to reveal how the knowledge that led to this initial interception was acquired. However, the premise of the original Alien is perfect in its uncomplicated purity.
