PREMISE
Scarlett Johansson, who also produces, and Channing Tatum star in “Fly Me to the Moon,” a sharp, stylish romantic comedy set against the high-stakes backdrop of NASA’s historic Apollo 11 moon landing. Brought in to fix NASA’s public image, sparks fly in all directions as marketing maven Kelly Jones (Johansson) wreaks havoc on launch director Cole Davis’s (Tatum) already difficult task. When the White House deems the mission too important to fail, the countdown truly begins…
Hailing from Apple Studios production, “Fly Me to the Moon” is from a screenplay by Rose Gilroy. And produced by Johansson, Jonathan Lia and Keenan Flynn for These Pictures and Sarah Schechter. Robert J. Dohrmann serves as executive producer.
