Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum Pair Up for the First Time in 'Fly Me to the Moon' First Look

Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum star in an exclusive first look at 'Fly Me to the Moon,' directed by Greg Berlanti and in theaters July 12. Johansson says 'falling in love with' Tatum onscreen was 'pretty easy' since 'he's such a likable person.'

"When the President deems the mission too important to fail," a synopsis teases, "Jones is directed to stage a fake moon landing as backup and the countdown truly begins." The Fly Me to the Moon cast also features Nick Dillenburg, Anna Garcia, Jim Rash, Noah Robbins, Colin Woodell, Christian Zuber, Donald Elise Watkins, Ray Romano and Woody Harrelson. "The inspiration for this story," Berlanti, 51, tells PEOPLE, "was to craft a big, fun, smart original movie around whether or not the American government could have possibly faked the Apollo 11 moon landing, which is still the most-watched live TV event in the history of the world and has since become one of the most talked about conspiracy theories."
