It focuses on the harrowing five days of the Apollo 13 mission in 1970, mostly using over 2000 hours of previously unseen archival footage that captures the perspective of Lovell and his family, as well as the surprising level of international cooperation that helped bring the astronauts home. Filmmakers got cooperation from the Lovell family to tell that side of the story. NASA\u2019s plan for Apollo 13 to be the third manned craft to land on the moon were dashed, but a disaster was averted after an oxygen tank exploded and harmed the electrical and life support systems, making reentry into the earth\u2019s atmosphere perilous. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tStill in post-production, the film will launch sales early this fall  through CAA and Fifth Media.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: Apollo 13 mission commander astronaut Jim Lovell, memorialized through Tom Hanks\u2019 performance in the Best Picture-nominated Ron&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":63939,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[44686,64,63,51173,134,44826,344,24268],"class_list":{"0":"post-63938","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-apollo-13","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-avi-belkin","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-jim-lovell","14":"tag-movies","15":"tag-odyssey"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63938"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63938\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63939"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63938"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63938"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
