1969 marked the year that the United States were able to send men to and land on the moon. But what also started a massive achievement for human kind also started one of the biggest conspiracy theories in the world.
This time period is the backdrop of Apple Films newest romantic comedy Fly Me to the Moon, which will star Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film will focus on Kelly Jones, played by Johansson, NASA’s newest marketing agent trying to improve the space company’s public image while Cole Davis, played by Tatum, is trying to focus on the 1969 moon mission.
In a new trailer that was released this week, the film will explore the love that the two have for one another, but must juggle their work and blossoming relationship. It is especially put to the test when Jones is tasked on a backup plan of faking the moon landing if things don’t work out
Also starring in the film is Jim Rash (Community and Harley Quinn), Ray Romano (Everybody Loves Raymond and The Irishman) and Woody Harrelson (White House Plumbers and Zombieland).
Greg Berlanti will be directing the film, with the script written by Rose Gilroy, Bill Kirstein and Keenan Flynn. While the film is produced by Apple, its distribution will be headed by Sony.
Fly Me to the Moon will be released in theaters July 14.
