Fly Me to the Moon a good movie?

Fly Me to the Moon achieves liftoff through sharp direction, clever screenwriting, and good, old-fashioned megawatt celluloid star power. Content collapsed. An intelligent, entertaining screwball comedy that explores the power of advertising with drama, humour, a touch of romance and plot twists

Who originally sang Fly Me to the Moon?

Kaye Ballard

“Fly Me to the Moon”, originally titled “In Other Words”, is a song written in 1954 by Bart Howard. The first recording of the song was made in 1954 by Kaye Ballard. Frank Sinatra’s 1964 version was closely associated with the Apollo missions to the Moon

Why is Fly Me to the Moon so popular?

“Fly Me to the Moon” was written by Bart Howard in 1954 as a slow waltz, with the title “In Other Words”, first recorded by Kaye Ballard. While a variety of singers released recordings in the following few years, it was Peggy Lee’s appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1960 which greatly increased its popularity.

Apple Original Films‘ continues its theatrical ambitions with the release of director Greg Berlanti’s Fly Me to the Moon, a romantic comedy starring Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum. The period space-age movie, distributed by Sony on behalf of Apple, is struggling in its liftoff with an expected opening in the $10 million range (that could change if traffic is heavier than anticipated on Saturday and Sunday). The movie has earned meh reviews, but audiences were kinder in bestowing the older-skewing film an A- CinemaScore. Reviews matter more to older moviegoers, upon whom Berlanti’s film is relying (in moviespeak, “older” means someone over the age of 35).

Longlegs is nearing a box office opening weekend record while Fly Me to the Moon sputters and stalls. Fly Me to the Moon is a new romantic comedy from Love, Simon director Greg Berlanti that stars Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum as a pair of NASA employees who spark a romance during the Space Race. The Longlegs release takes almost the exact opposite tone, as the Osgood Perkins horror movie starring Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage follows a young FBI agent on the tail of an eerie serial killer

Is ‘Fly Me to the Moon’ Based on a True Story?

There are plenty of movies about space that are based on true stories and real people — “First Man” and “The Right Stuff,” for example. And, given that it highlights real aspects of the space race, you might find yourself wondering if “Fly Me to the Moon” the next movie to follow suit.

The film, now exclusively in theaters, centers on Kelly Jones (Scarlett Johansson), a PR expert hired to effectively sell the moon landing to the American people. With the country so deep into the Vietnam War, and JFK’s promise to put a man on the moon within the decade now nine years old, the government feels that the space race is losing steam in the hearts of the public.

So, with the begrudging help of NASA launch director Cole Davis (Channing Tatum), Kelly manages to set up brand deals and sponsorships, and even suggests that the moon landing be televised live when it happens. Naturally, the mysterious Moe Berkus (Woody Harrelson) loves the idea, but Cole hates it.

Unbeknownst to Cole, Moe instructs Kelly to recreate and film a fake moon landing, for “just in case” purposes. The thing is, Moe’s a bit shady, and he eventually reveals to Kelly that the footage isn’t just in case; it’s what will be broadcast to the American people either way.

The idea that NASA faked the moon landing is an actual conspiracy theory, so to be clear, no, “Fly Me to the Moon” is not based on a true story. 

According to screenwriter Rose Gilroy, “it was Scarlett and her company’s original idea,” and really there was never any hesitation or nervousness about leaning into this particular conspiracy theory, even at a time where conspiracy theories are spreading like wildfire on the internet.

“I think I was always coming at it from an angle of, I had a true admiration for what was accomplished on that day and for NASA,” Gilroy explained to TheWrap. “Just from a script standpoint, I was never interested in, you know, bashing or taking away from it. And anything to do with conspiracy was only going to be put in to have fun and entertain and also be used in a way to actually point out that the truth matters.”
