  • The First Men in the Moon is the name of an H. G. Wells novel about two Edwardian-era Englishmen who utilise some Applied Phlebotinum to fly to the moon for a bit of a jolly gadabout. It Got Worse. There have been two filmed adaptions - one in 1964, directed by Nathan Juran, and more recently by Mark Gatiss The 2010 film sticks much more closely to the H.G. Wells original, with Professor Cavor and Bedford engaging in their flight to the moon alone. The ending is significantly changed, quite brilliantly

  • The First Men in the Moon is the name of an H. G. Wells novel about two Edwardian-era Englishmen who utilise some Applied Phlebotinum to fly to the moon for a bit of a jolly gadabout. It Got Worse. There have been two filmed adaptions - one in 1964, directed by Nathan Juran, and more recently by Mark Gatiss In the 1964 film, the United Nations has launched a rocket flight to the Moon. A multi-national group of astronauts in the UN spacecraft land on the Moon, believing themselves to be the first lunar explorers. They discover a Union Jack Flag on the surface and a note naming Bedford and Cavor, claiming the Moon for Queen Victoria. This discovery drives the plot, as the UN and many journalists seek out these men to get them to recount their first mission to the moon in the 1800s. Only Bedford is still alive and tells the story. The 2010 film sticks much more closely to the H.G. Wells original, with Professor Cavor and Bedford engaging in their flight to the moon alone. The ending is significantly changed, quite brilliantly
