Terrorism. Wars. Wild fires. Hurricanes. Climate change. Pandemic. Why not have the moon attack this planet next year?

The masterful director Roland Emmerich’s Moonfall plans to make its landing in theaters next year. Do expect plenty of destruction and billions of deaths from the brainchild of Independence Day, Godzilla (1998), and The Day After Tomorrow. You’ll know this director and writer never holds back in destroying cities and your favorite monuments.

Here’s the official synopsis:

In Moonfall, a mysterious force knocks the Moon from its orbit around Earth and sends it hurtling on a collision course with life as we know it. With mere weeks before impact and the world on the brink of annihilation, NASA executive and former astronaut Jo Fowler is convinced she has the key to saving us all—but only one astronaut from her past, Brian Harper and a conspiracy theorist K.C. Houseman believes her. These unlikely heroes will mount an impossible last-ditch mission into space, leaving behind everyone they love, only to find out that our Moon is not what we think it is.

The film stars Halle Berry (Monster’s Ball, Die Another Day), Patrick Wilson (Insidious, Watchmen), John Bradley (Game of Thrones, American Satan), Michael Pena (American Hustle, End of Watch), Charlie Plummer (Looking for Alaska, The Clovehitch Killer), Kelly Yu (The Ex-File 3: The Return of the Exes, Forever Passion), Eme Ikwuakor (Inhumans, On My Block), Carolina Bartczak (X-Men: Apocalypse, Brick Mansions), and Donald Sutherland (The Hunter Games: Catching Fire, Pride & Prejudice).

Roland Emmerich directed the movie that he wrote with Harald Kloser and Spenser Cohen.
