I've bookmarked the loopy site (why, oh why, do these whackos think that only NASA could possibly know what the Moon is like? don't they realize there are scientists who don't work for NASA and even ones who *gasp* *shock* aren't American?) and I've been reading all of the hilarious replies.

For a model for your screenplay, you could go back to one of the geniuses of speculative fiction, Edgar Allen Poe. He was one of the first people to pull off a moon hoax, writing a "news article" which claimed that people had travelled to the Moon via balloon and discovered an alien race. He did it for a laugh, but got upstaged by a similar hoax and ended up simply revealing the truth about his own little hoax. Perhaps the premise of the movie could be that his hoax wasn't really a hoax and the Nazis later used that method to ascend to the Moon and establish a permanent base?
