Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson is renowned for her versatility and fantastic acting skills. She takes on complex characters and plays them with remarkable ease. In her upcoming film,Fly Me To The Moon,the famed actress has taken on a new challenge, staging the 1969 moon landing.

The film shows a time when, with all eyes on America, NASA couldn’t afford to fail the Apollo 11 mission. Leading to the filming of a fake landing on the moon, an endeavor helmed by Johansson’s Kelly Jones. The newly released trailer shows Johansson’s mastery of deception within the plot.
The Apollo mission has always been a heated topic of discourse. Many conspiracy theories float around questioning its authenticity. The trailer of the film also includes a subtle nod to one particular theory.

The catch is, that with continuous losses and no wins, the team of scientists and the American public are losing hope. To keep the spirits high among the general public, the space agency decides to launch a marketing campaign for the moon mission. Enter, Kelly Jones. A marketing executive who is entrusted with the job of rejuvenating the American public’s enthusiasm. The integrity of measures taken for this endeavor is questionable.

The trailer of this love story in an incident of such great historical significance leaves one intrigued. However, the movie touches upon a major conspiracy theory surrounding the moon mission.
Stanley Kubrick and The Supposed Staged Landing
Stanley Kubrick is regarded as one of the greatest filmmakers in the history of cinema. His innovative direction style and a keen eye for detail made his films distinctive from others at his time. Kubrick’s films had the effect of being more advanced.

That’s why when the authenticity of the Apollo 11 missions started being questioned, the theory of Kubrick filming a fake landing spun out quite conveniently. It is probably the most enduring theory of that era. NASA has provided enough evidence to disprove any such notions but these theories are too prevalent to ignore.
Seems the screenwriters forFly Me To The Mooncouldn’t ignore it either. That’s probably why the trailer (viaApple) shows Johansson or, Jones, who is struggling to work with the director she has got to film the fake landing, saying:“Maybe we should’ve gotten Kubrick.”And maybe they did get Kubrick and he indeed filmed the entire thing.

Fly Me To The Moonis set to premiere on July 12.
