For his new movie "Fly Me to the Moon," director Greg Berlanti faked the historic first moon landing. But fear not, space fans, that does not mean what you might think it means.
Despite the trailers and the taglines ("Will they make it or fake it?"), anyone with concerns that the film gives in to the "moon hoax" conspiracy theory need not worry. In fact, if you are a space enthusiast or remember watching Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin come "in peace for all mankind," then "Fly Me to the Moon" may be your next favorite film.
"Everyone who worked on this movie — including our associates at NASA — are incredibly huge fans of the Apollo program and wanted to honor with this movie that program," said Berlanti in an interview with collectSPACE.com. "We are definitely using a modern prism of what's become too in vogue these days, which is this notion of these conspiracy theories, but ultimately, the movie is about why the truth is important."
"The movie really supports the accomplishments of the 400,000 to 500,000 men and women who worked on the Apollo program, to the point where it celebrates it, too," he said.
