The red carpet was abuzz on Monday as Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum led the way at the premiere of their new film “Fly Me to the Moon.” Held at the AMC Lincoln Square in New York City, the event showcased the two stars looking stunning and ready to share their latest cinematic venture with the world.
Scarlett Johansson, at 39, looked every bit the movie star in a chic yellow gingham top and matching skirt that offered a glimpse of her toned abs. Her elegant look was completed with a loose bun and minimal makeup, highlighting her natural beauty. By her side, her husband, Colin Jost, added a touch of romance to the evening as they held hands on the red carpet.
Channing Tatum, 44, was equally impressive in a navy pinstripe suit paired with an open-collar black shirt, cutting a striking figure alongside his co-star. The chemistry between the two was palpable, both on and off the screen, as they introduced their romantic comedy to eager fans.
“Fly Me to the Moon,” directed by Greg Berlanti, is set to hit theaters on July 12. The film offers a unique twist on historical events, imagining NASA filming a fake moon landing as a contingency plan during the Apollo 11 mission. Tatum plays a NASA official overseeing the mission, while Johansson portrays a marketing executive hired to film the backup landing. Their characters, who clash and flirt throughout the movie, bring a delightful tension to the story.
In a recent interview on the Today show, Johansson praised Tatum, describing him as charismatic and loveable. She noted the easy chemistry they shared on set, attributing it to Tatum's easygoing and professional demeanor. This is the first time the duo has shared significant screen time, having only briefly crossed paths in “Don Jon” and “Hail, Caesar!”
The film also features an impressive supporting cast, including Woody Harrelson, Ray Romano, and Jim Rash. Johansson revealed that the idea for the movie was inspired by real-world conspiracy theories about the moon landing, adding a layer of intrigue to the romantic plot.
Beyond the film, Johansson also shared her excitement about Jost's upcoming assignment covering the surfing competition at the Paris Olympics in Tahiti. An avid surfer, Jost is thrilled about the opportunity, which kicks off on July 27.
“Fly Me to the Moon” promises a blend of romance, comedy, and a dash of conspiracy, making it a must-watch this summer. Don't miss the chance to see Johansson and Tatum's electric on-screen chemistry when it arrives in theaters on July 12!
