“If you fake this mission, everything that we have sacrificed will have been for nothing!” Sony Pictures & Apple TV have revealed a second official trailer for Fly Me to the Moon, a romantic comedy from writer / filmmaker Greg Berlanti (also of Love, Simon). It’s opening in theaters nationwide in July, getting a proper release before streaming on Apple TV. 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 and 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 like a sweet romcom but not exactly that geeky or that funny. Still looks like it’ll be harmless fun this summer. Who wants to watch?
