Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum have teamed up for a romantic comedy-drama film, Fly Me to the Moon. The film’s trailer just hit the social media platforms. The Apple Originals film is set to hit the screens within a few days, but before the film’s release, here is everything you need to know about the upcoming movie.
Cast –
The movie has brought together the fresh pairing of Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum. Besides them, the film will also feature Nick Dillenburg (Orange Is The New Black fame), Superstore star Anna Garcia, Jim Rash, best known for NBC sitcom Community, Noah Robbins of The Assistant fame, and I Love America star Colin Woodell.

The synopsis reads, “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 backup, and the countdown truly begins. The film will finally put to rest the question – Did the USA fake the moon landing?”
