‘Fly Me To The Moon’ Trailer Reveals Scarlett Johansson, Channing Tatum’s Space Race Comedy at Apple
Kelly Jones (Scarlett Johansson) and Cole Davis (Channing Tatum) in FLY ME TO THE MOON.
Sony has revealed the new trailer for Fly Me To The Moon, the mysterious space race comedy that Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum have been working on for a while. Greg Berlanti directs, from a script by Rose Gilroy. Apple Original Films produced the pic and will handle the streaming distribution, while Sony, reupping their deal with Apple after Napoleon and Argylle, handles the theatrical distribution.
You can check out the new trailer below. The project has been in the works for years now and has seen several rotating creative teams. At one point it was titled Project Artemis, with Jason Bateman directing and Scarlett Johansson / Chris Evans set to play the leads. Bateman and Evans left the project, due to creative differences and scheduling problems with Pain Hustlers, respectively. Berlanti and Tatum stepped in, with the title change announced just last week.
This would have been the second time Evans and Johansson were to reteam for an Apple pic, but none came to be. The actress also had to depart last year’s comedy Ghosted, with Ana de Armas eventually replacing her.
The film will receive a theatrical release on July 12, and will likely stream on Apple TV Plus early in the fall. The synopsis for Fly Me To The Moon reads:
Starring Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum, FLY ME TO THE MOON is a sharp, stylish comedy-drama set against the high-stakes backdrop of NASA’s historic Apollo 11 moon landing. Brought in to fix NASA’s public image, sparks fly in all directions as marketing maven Kelly Jones (Johansson) wreaks havoc on launch director Cole Davis’s (Tatum) already difficult task. When the White House deems the mission too important to fail, Jones is directed to stage a fake moon landing as back-up and the countdown truly begins…
Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as authors like Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
