The new film, Fly Me To The Moon, released its first trailer on Monday morning. Scarlett Johansson stars as Kelly Jones, a marketing specialist brought in to boost NASA’s Apollo 11 moon landing. Alongside co-star Channing Tatum, who plays by-the-book launch director Cole Davis, the two have great chemistry in this comedy set in 1969 during the race to the moon. Directed by Greg Berlanti, the film is a collaboration between Apple Original Films and Sony, with a theatrical release date of July 14. The synopsis teases a plot where Jones is tasked with staging a fake moon landing as a backup plan when the mission becomes too important to fail.
On Monday morning, the initial teaser for the upcoming film “Take Me To The Stars” was revealed, featuring the dynamic duo of Channing Tatum and Scarlett Johansson.
In the role of marketing specialist Kelly Jones, Johansson dazzles with her stunning portrayal as she helps boost excitement around NASA’s iconic Apollo 11 moon landing. Her on-screen chemistry with co-star Tatum, who portrays launch director Cole Davis, is simply electric.
The pair exude a playful dynamic and undeniable chemistry throughout the video. Scarlett’s character uses her expertise in publicity to generate buzz for NASA’s groundbreaking Apollo 11 moon landing. Known for her cunning strategies, she dabbles in identity deception to get the job done. This leads to a romantic connection with Channing’s character, Davis.
Jones reluctantly agrees to stage a fake moon landing if needed, much to his dismay. He humorously admits, “I know more about the moon than I know about you,” to the marketing whiz. The star-studded cast includes Jim Rash, Ray Romano, Woody Harrelson, and others. Jason Bateman was initially set to star in the film but later withdrew from the project.
Director Berlanti shared that the film’s premise was inspired by the enduring conspiracy theory of the Apollo 11 moon landing being faked. He aimed to create an exciting and witty movie around this controversial topic, given its historical significance and ongoing speculation in popular culture.
