Romantic comedy-drama "Fly Me to the Moon," an Apple original film, is set against the backdrop of the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing. Greg Berlanti is directing, and Scarlett Johansson stars as Kelly Jones, a marketing expert hired by NASA. Channing Tatum is Cole Davis, the launch director. The characters clash but share a romantic connection.
The screenplay explores the intertwining stories of Jones and Davis, with tensions rising as personal and professional boundaries are tested. Davis faces the dilemma of considering staging a fake moon landing when the White House mandates a contingency plan, raising questions about the controversial event even after 55 years.
The ensemble cast includes Jim Rash, Anna Garcia, Noah Robbins, Colin Woodell, Christian Zuber, Donald Elise Watkins, Ray Romano, and Woody Harrelson. Rash is known for his role as Dean Pelton on Community and for winning an Oscar for co-writing The Descendants.
Berlanti praised the lead actors' versatile performances, and great on-screen chemistry.
