Fly Me to the Moon is a new comedy/romance starring Scarlett Johansson, Woody Harrelson, Channing Tatum and Ray Romano.
Directed by Greg Berlanti; Johansson is Kelly Jones, a fictional marketing maven hired to direct footage of a fake moon landing as a backup, after the White House deemed the real moon landing mission too important to fail.
Johansson is why I’m a little intrigued; more than the story or historical period. Fly Me to the Moon also has a certain Hail, Caesar! (2015) and Babylon (2022) quality – one that doesn’t necessarily elicit the highest confidence.
Perhaps it’s because the moon landing story has been told so many times, that this just feels repetitive. Still, how lovely it would be to find myself pleasantly surprised with the finished product.
Do you find yourself curious about this one? Harrelson is always fun and Tatum and Johansson should be interesting; both were in Hail, Caesar!
Jim Rash, Christian Clemenson, Peter Jacobson, Greg Kriek, Colin Woodell, Joe Chrest, Noah Robbins, Anna Garcia and Kylee Nicole Peck also star.
Fly Me to the Moon Release Dates: July 12th, 2024 (US & UK)…

I agree the subject matter has been done…and done. And I’m pretty much done with it as well…but the cast is going to keep it firmly seated on the too-watch list. I figure it might stick the landing!
Yes, let’s hope for the best, as always. I can see myself trying to watch it ‘casually,’ not expecting too much and maybe finding that I like it more than expected.
Thanks for sharing this idea Anita
My pleasure, Rita. 🤓
I feel ‘meh’ but I do like the cast
I understand what you’re saying. A certain spark seems to be missing, but we may be pleasantly surprised
This looks like a lot of fun! 🚀
I’m glad you like it. 🤓🥂
