The Moonwalkers - Journey with Tom Hanks
American actor and filmmaker Tom Hanks narrates THE MOONWALKERS, an epic experience that offers a unique new perspective on humankind’s past and future voyages to the moon at London’s Lightroom exhibition space. Telling the stories of the Apollo missions in intimate detail, THE MOONWALKERS also provides an insight into the impending return of crewed surface missions by going behind-the-scenes of the Artemis programme, including interviews between Hanks and Artemis astronauts. Lightroom’s powerful projection and audio technology will transform the immense space into a vehicle for a spectacular immersive voyage to our closest celestial neighbour. Hanks himself will provide the voiceover, accompanied by a spectacular original score by Anne Nikitin whose previous work includes the Apple TV+ hit series HIJACK starring Idris Elba and the cult heist movie American Animals starring Evan Peters and Barry Keoghan. What is The Moonwalkers – A Journey with Tom Hanks about? Tom Hanks co-wrote The Moonwalkers with Christopher Riley, the double BAFTA-nominated writer-director whose work includes many of the most ground-breaking films and television programmes about space for the likes of the BBC, Netflix, and PBS. The show tells the stories of the Apollo missions, reflecting their gripping journeys at spectacular scale. Newly filmed interviews between Hanks and astronauts of the current Artemis programme will grant an insight into the return of crewed surface missions to the moon.
