Fly Me To The Moon trailer plays right into Apollo 11 conspiracy theorists' hands


Fly Me To The Moon is an upcoming comedy movie that sees a PR expert (Scarlett Johansson) tasked with faking the Apollo 11 Moon landing -— just in case something goes wrong.

A trailer makes it seem like a lighthearted, fun time at the movies, though conspiracy theorists may have a field day with one of the key plot points. Scarlett Johansson plays Kelly Jones, a PR expert who NASA brings in to improve public perception ahead of the launch. Along with butting heads with launch director Cole Davis (Channing Tatum) and turning the crew into global celebrities, Kelly is handed a particularly difficult task: to secretly create a fake version of the Moon landing, just in case the mission goes sideways.
