Sharp, stylish first trailer for Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum in Fly Me To The Moon

You’re going to like this one – Fly Me To The Moon comes to cinemas on 12 July

I love it when a new film trailer drops out of seemingly nowhere, or at least with having no knowledge of it being created, and fully enjoying those 2 and a half minutes. This first look at Fly Me To The Moon hits those brackets – which is, by the way, the perfect time for a trailer – nice work Sony Pictures and Columbia Pictures, and happy 100th birthday for the latter.

Written by Rose Gilroy, based on a story from Bill Kirstein and Keenan Flynn, Fly Me To The Moon is directed by Greg Berlanti and is described as a comedy-drama set against the high-stakes backdrop of NASA’s historic Apollo 11 moon landing…

Starring Scarlett Johansson as Kelly Jones (not the Stereophonics fella), she’s brought in as a marketing whizz to fix NASA’s public image, but sparks fly in all directions as she also wreaks havoc on launch director Cole Davis’s (Channing Tatum) already difficult task. When the White House deems the mission too important, Jones is directed to stage a fake moon landing as back-up and the countdown truly begins…

I mean, if conspiracy theorists didn’t love Kubrick’s fake moon landing enough, this is definitely going to get some traction. The film also stars Nick Dillenburg, Anna Garcia, Jim Rash, Noah Robbins, Colin Woodell, Christian Zuber, Donald Elise Watkins, Ray Romano, and Woody Harrelson, so…. What you waiting for?

Have a watch:

Fly Me To The Moon comes to cinemas on 12 July, hopefully when the blue skies return!

The problem here is that it’s a comedy that plays to the idiotic notion — truly BEYOND idiotic — that the moon landings were faked.

The true level of abject ignorance of the technical capabilities of the time required to believe this lunatic notion is mind boggling.

So it’s going to SEEM as though it is realistic when, in fact, it’s not even remotely so.

People don’t need to have stupid ideas fed to them, they manage to produce enough of them on their own.

  I completely understand your sentiment but, defying logic, is what filmmaking is about most of the time – So, with that in mind – or your pondering would mean films like Transformers, etc, cannot exist. People have stupid ideas fed to them to continually, a lot of it via their own governments. 😉
