Why Scarlett Johansson fought to get space race romance Fly Me to the Moon made

by - May 08, 2024

Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum are ready for takeoff.

Entertainment Weekly has an exclusive look at the two stars in Fly Me to the Moon, a sweeping romantic dramedy set during the 1960s space race. It’s a charming tale about the rumors that NASA faked the moon landing, one that Johansson has wanted to tell for years. Not only does she star in the film, but she also serves as a producer, working with Sony and Apple Original Films to get the story off the ground.

“The most challenging projects to find are romantic comedies and dramedies,” Johansson tells EW via email. “The totally original script by Rose Gilroy was what excited me most about this film. It is a big picture movie that feels both nostalgic and so modern and the kind of movie I’m always reaching for that you rarely get to see in theaters these days. Audiences are hungry for original films!”
