Scarlett Johansson’s 'Fly Me To The Moon' to release in India

Hollywood stars Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum's romantic comedy Fly Me To The Moon will make its debut in Indian theatres on July 12, Sony Pictures Entertainment India announced on Tuesday.

Described as a "sharp, stylish comedy-drama set against the high-stakes backdrop of NASA’s historic Apollo 11 moon landing", the movie is directed by Greg Berlanti.


Sony Pictures shared the news of the film's release date on its official social media handles along with its trailer on Monday evening.

"The whole world will be watching. Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum star in #FlyMeToTheMoon - exclusively in cinemas July 12," the studio posted on X.

Johansson plays the role of marketing maven Kelly Jones, who is brought in to fix NASA’s public image.

"Sparks fly in all directions as Jones wreaks havoc on launch director Cole Davis’s (Tatum) already difficult task. When the White House deems the mission too important to fail, Jones is directed to stage a fake moon landing as backup and the countdown truly begins. The film will finally put to rest to the question – Did the USA fake the moon landing?" read the official logline.

Fly Me To The Moon will also feature Nick Dillenburg, Anna Garcia, Jim Rash, Noah Robbins, Colin Woodell, Christian Zuber, Donald Elise Watkins, Ray Romano, and Woody Harrelson.

Highlights

  • Says he ignored what he viewed as propaganda lines and concentrated on the filmmaking
  • Compares the film to Hollywood war dramas often criticised for political messaging

Kashyap’s review singles out craft over ideology

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has added his voice to the praise for Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller Dhurandhar, saying he admired the film even though he did not agree with all of its political messaging. Writing on Letterboxd, Kashyap said he chose to look past what he felt were a couple of propaganda-heavy moments and instead focus on the quality of the filmmaking.

He noted that hostility towards an enemy state is often built into the genre itself, adding that he had no issue with that aspect. However, he pointed to two specific dialogues that troubled him, saying that setting them aside allowed the film to work strongly on its own terms. He described Dhurandhar as a good, and ultimately brilliant, film largely set in Pakistan.
