When it comes to romantic comedies, Greg Berlanti knows how to deliver, and his latest project, “Fly Me to the Moon,” is set to take off this summer with an out-of-this-world premise. Starring Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum, this film promises to blend romance, comedy, and a touch of space-age drama, all set against the backdrop of the historic Apollo 11 moon landing.
The story follows marketing maven Kelly Jones (Johansson) and launch director Cole Davis (Tatum) as they navigate the high-stakes world of NASA during the 1960s.

The film features a stellar supporting cast, including Nick Dillenburg, Anna Garcia, Jim Rash, Noah Robbins, Colin Woodell, Christian Zuber, Donald Elise Watkins, Ray Romano, and Woody Harrelson. Berlanti, known for his work on “Love, Simon” and TV series like “The Flash” and “Superman & Lois,” directs this sharp, stylish comedy-drama. The screenplay is crafted by Rose Gilroy and Sharon Maguire, based on a story by Keenan Flynn and Bill Kirstein.
“Fly Me to the Moon” is produced by a powerhouse team, including Giannina Facio, Keenan Flynn, Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Lia, Sarah Schechter, Ridley Scott, and the late Tony Scott. Developed by Apple TV and Scott Free Productions, the film will be released in theaters nationwide by Sony Pictures starting July 12th, 2024.
