A cinematic obsessive with the filmic palate of a starving raccoon, Rob London will watch pretty much anything once.
The Big Picture A straight-arrow astronaut meets a hard-charging ad woman in the new trailer for Apple's Fly Me to the Moon. The '60s-set romcom stars Channing Tatum and Scarlett Johansson, and will enter the atmosphere this July. Set against the background of the Space Race, Johansson stars as Kelly Jones, an ad executive hired by NASA to popularize the Moon landing program, which is increasingly seen by the American public as an expensive boondoggle.
The two immediately clash, as Jones tries to use the astronauts as commercial pitchmen - and when they insist that they don't do interviews, she simply casts more telegenic replacements to handle their media appearances, even for launch director Henry Smalls . She even hires an egomaniacal director to fake the Moon landing in case the real one doesn't work out - in a nod to a longstanding conspiracy theory, a mishap prompts her to wish she'd hired Stanley Kubrick.
Where Can Audiences See Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum Next? After a short hiatus from on-screen work, Johansson is back in front of the camera. After starring in last year's Wes Anderson film Asteroid City, she is next set to lend her voice to the animated prequel Transformers One, where she will voice the Autobot warrior Elita-One. She is also in talks to star in the next installment of Universal's Jurassic Park franchise.
Fly Me To the Moon, formerly titled Project Artemis, was directed by superhero TV impresario and Love, Simon helmer Greg Berlanti. It was originally set to be directed by Jason Bateman, who departed the project over creative differences, and was to star Chris Evans as the male lead, before he had to drop out due to scheduling issues.
