“We need to shoot the backup version of the Moon landing…” Sony Pictures & Apple TV have revealed the official trailer for Fly Me to the Moon, a romantic comedy from writer / filmmaker Greg Berlanti, who last directed the hit romcom Love, Simon. This is opening in theaters nationwide in July, a big mainstream comedy set during the Apollo 11 moon landing era of NASA – about creating a fake moon landing “backup”. Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum star as a 1960s ad shark and a by-the-book launch director on a mission set against the high-stakes backdrop of NASA’s historic moon landing. Marketing maven Kelly Jones wreaks havoc on launch director Cole Davis’s already difficult task. When the White House deems the mission too important to fail, Jones is directed to stage a fake moon landing as alternative incase they need it. In addition to Johansson & Tatum, this also stars Nick Dillenburg, Anna Garcia, Jim Rash, Noah Robbins, Colin Woodell, Christian Zuber, Donald Elise Watkins, with Ray Romano, and Woody Harrelson. This looks funny and sweet, though not exactly a nerdy space movie – more of a romcom for everyone to enjoy. It’ll likely end up streaming on Apple at the end of the summer after playing in theaters.
Here’s the official trailer for Greg Berlanti’s Fly Me to the Moon, direct from Apple TV’s YouTube:
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 in the 1960s.

When the White House deems this mission too important to fail, he is directed to stage a fake moon landing as backup, and the countdown truly begins. Fly Me to the Moon is directed by the acclaimed American writer / producer / filmmaker Greg Berlanti, director of the films Life as We Know It and Love, Simon previously, and also a writer on the TV series “You”, “The Flash”, “Titans”, and “Superman & Lois” most recently. The screenplay is written by Rose Gilroy and Sharon Maguire, from a story by Keenan Flynn and Bill Kirstein. Originally known as Project Artemis.
