The Dark Web sounds like a terrifying place. At the bare minimum, you might find people selling Netflix passwords . Dig a little bit deeper, and you could stumble on all sorts of conspiracy theories pertaining to the full gamut of topics.
A popular conspiracy theory that has floated in the ether has involved the moon landing. It has people debating back and forth about whether or not NASA actually sent astronauts to the surface of the moon in 1969. The moon landing has been dissected in documentaries, sci-fi thrillers, and will be a major part of the upcoming Scarlett Johansson comedy Fly Me To The Moon .
Just don’t expect Johansson herself to share in the guilty fun of throwing wil conspiracies around. In the upcoming Fly Me To The Moon , the Black Widow star plays a public relations expert hired by NASA to stage the moon landing. NASA officials don’t plan on deceiving the general public.
In fact, Channing Tatum ’s character leads the mission, and believes that his team of scientists can pull the mission off. But Johansson’s scheme is insurance, because it can’t look like NASA has failed at this stage of the Space Race. In speaking with Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum ahead of the July 12 release of Fly Me To The Moon , I asked the actress if she went down rabbit holes while exploring the moon landing conspiracy theories as research for the movie, she gave me a very pragmatic and on-brand answer.
Said Johansson: I actually didn’t. I'm so not that ..
. I'm no.
