The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon, according to those who have seen screenings.
A few thoughts:
1)Looks like I was partially right about WHO sort of being coincidentally(?) related to this Summer's big films-we have some kind of moon thing (ala the new Transformers) which even has the same acronym, and then Pirates. Not that this is necesarilly a bad thing-Tom Baker's earlier seasons were practically all "Whoish" takes on horror and sci-fi films.
2) Doctor Who is however no stranger to the moon as a setting. I think Troughton's The Moonbase was the first, and he returned to the moon in Seeds of Death, Frontier In Space and of course the more recent Smith and Jones. Not to forget a bunch of novels.
3) Plus there's Apollo 23, a Eleventh Doctor novel. I wonder if there's a connection or adaptation in mind?
4) I wonder what the connection is to the Silence arc....
