June 28, 2024

Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum star in the rom-com Fly Me to the Moon set in the backdrop of 1960s Space Race. 

Witness the quirky romance between a NASA director and a marketing specialist in Greg Berlanti’s 2024 film, Fly Me to the Moon. While drawn to each other, their potential romance is complicated by America’s first ever moon landing, all while also staging a fake one, which Kubrick didn’t direct.

Fly Me to the Moon arrives in Australian cinemas on Thursday, 11 July. It will premiere on Apple TV+  at a later date, although an exact streaming premiere date hasn’t been announced yet.

With Apple Studios co-producing, Fly Me to the Moon is set to stream on Apple TV+ after its theatrical run. It will follow in the footsteps of other new releases like Killers of the Flower Moon, Napoleon, and Argylle, which all premiered in the theatres before later dropping on subscription streaming via Apple TV+.

In Fly Me to the Moon, Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum star as a marketing specialist and NASA director whose lives are further intertwined when the White House decides that NASA’s image needs revamping. 

Tatum’s Cole Davis is already struggling to ensure his mission’s success, even more so with Johansson’s Kelly Jones’ job clashing with his. Soon enough, their potential romance hits a speed bump. America’s first ever moon landing, it turns out, can derail people’s love lives.

Speaking of the moon landing, the US government is anxious about its outcome considering the Soviet Union’s prior accomplishments on space. Determined to not lose face during the intense Space Race in the ‘60s, Kelly’s team is tasked with another job – staging a fake Moon landing as backup! 

Fly Me to the Moon  is directed by Greg Berlanti from a screenplay written by Rose Gilroy. Scarlett Johansson is also co-producer alongside Jonathan Lia, Keenan Flynn, and Sarah Schechter.
