The Moon is Coming. ? #Moonfall - only in theatres February 4, 2022. pic.twitter.com/XWJULAYLBN

Judging from the teaser it takes the director back to his roots and there is definitely a feel of the 1996 hit movie Independence Day and oddly there is a distinct tone of Armageddon from director Michael Bay, again another 90's disaster movie.
The trailer plays heavily on the idea that the human race visited the moon on the 1960's, and now the moon is coming to visit us, and some sort of alien is involved as we get a quick shot of something with tentacles in the trailer.
The movie stars Halle Berry and Patrick Wilson and we will most like be drop fed more info as the next six month go by, the release date is February 2022.
