America’s attempt to reach the moon first is easily one of the most exciting eras of scientific ambition and one that’s well documented in cinema. One aspect that we don’t often see explored, though, is the country’s lack of faith that it could ever happen.
That’s the laugh-filled launch pad for a new romantic comedy-drama where Channing Tatum’s NASA director and Scarlett Johansson’s marketing guru are tasked with filming a fake moon landing – just in case the real one doesn’t take off.
Fly Me To The Moon pulls out all the stops in terms of capturing the mood and vibe of the swinging sixties. This means bold fashion and even bolder hairstyles, both of which are sure to help ground viewers in this tale, very loosely based on a true story, where America may or may not find itself shooting for the moon… twice.
Despite sharing the silver screen together in Don Jon and Hail, Caesar!, this film marks the first time the Hollywood stars are paired properly and their onscreen relationship is sure to see sparks fly now there’s no space between them at all.

Space Romance
Jupiter Ascending
Part-man, part-wolf, Channing Tatum is the far-off space warrior who visits Earth to inform Mila Kunis’ intergalactic princess about her true destiny. It’s definitely one of the cheesier romance action stories that’s story is unabashedly camp.
Passengers
Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence are stranded together on a spaceship as the only two humans to have awoken from their hibernation early. This forms the basis for a sci-fi thriller that gives them the freedom to play off each other expertly.
First Man
NASA’s historic Apollo 11 moon landing was thoughtfully told in Damien Chazelle’s Neil Armstrong biopic. Space might be flashy, but the astronaut’s home life with onscreen wife Claire Foy steals the show.
