Synopsis

Mark Gatiss adapted this science fiction classic by H.G. Wells. Set in July 1969, as the world eagerly awaits the Apollo astronauts' moon landing, a young boy meets 90-year-old Julius Bedford. Bedford has an extraordinary story to tell about how, back in 1909, he was the first to reach the Moon and, alongside the eccentric Professor Cavor, uncovered a terrifying secret deep beneath its seemingly barren surface.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
