Johansson portrays Kelly Jones, a member of NASA's marketing team tasked with enhancing the agency's public image, while Tatum takes on the role of launch director Cole Davis. As the mission faces scrutiny, Jones is compelled to orchestrate a faux moon landing as a contingency plan, setting the stage for comedic chaos.
Behind-the-Scenes Insights
Despite their prior lack of work together, Johansson praised Tatum's amiability and professionalism, making their onscreen rapport seamless. The actress highlights the enjoyable challenge of portraying the contrasting personalities of Kelly and Cole, finding delight in their dynamic interaction. Johansson told PEOPLE, "Channing is such an easy-going actor, good spirited and professional. Falling in love with him onscreen was pretty easy. He’s such a likable person, Kelly and Cole are such opposites. It was fun to play that dynamic with Channing."
A Stellar Cast and Vision
Directed by Greg Berlanti and featuring a talented ensemble cast, including Nick Dillenburg, Anna Garcia, Jim Rash, Noah Robbins, Colin Woodell, Christian Zuber, Donald Elise Watkins, Ray Romano, and Woody Harrelson, "Fly Me to the Moon" promises laughter and camaraderie on set.
Crafting a Lunar Legacy
Berlanti shares his inspiration behind the film, aiming to explore the intriguing conspiracy theories surrounding the moon landing while delivering a captivating original narrative. Recreating the historic event presented numerous challenges, requiring meticulous attention to detail and extensive collaboration. "The inspiration for this story," Berlanti shared, "was to craft a big, fun, smart original movie around whether or not the American government could have possibly faked the Apollo 11 moon landing, which is still the most-watched live TV event in the history of the world and has since become one of the most talked about conspiracy theories."
A Fresh Cinematic Experience
Johansson emphasizes the film's appeal lies in its originality and ability to transcend conventional storytelling, offering audiences a blend of humor. As an Apple Original Film, Fly Me to the Moon is set to captivate audiences in theaters on July 12 before premiering on Apple TV+.
