An untitled American romantic comedy film is being directed by Greg Berlanti and written by Rose Gilroy. Setting as a 1960s space race film, it stars Scarlett Johansson, Channing Tatum, Jim Rash, Ray Romano, and Woody Harrelson.
The film was previously called "Project Artemis".[2] The film will be released theatrically by Columbia Pictures through Sony Pictures Releasing on July 12, 2024.
In March 2022, Apple TV+ announced it had acquired the distribution rights to the project, then titled Project Artemis, for $100 million. Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans were also announced as starring in the film, with Jason Bateman directing.[3] In May, Bateman said the working title Project Artemis was likely to change.[4] He left the project the following month, citing creative differences,[5] and was later replaced by Greg Berlanti.
The search for a new director and Berlanti's availability changed the production schedule, forcing Evans to drop out as well. In July, Channing Tatum entered negotiations to replace him.[6] In September, Jim Rash joined the cast.[7] Ray Romano, Anna Garcia and Woody Harrelson would be added in the following months.[8][9][10]
Filming began on October 27, 2022, in Atlanta, with a casting call issued seeking extras to play NASA employees and FBI agents.[11]
Following their partnership on Napoleon, Apple entered another agreement with Sony Pictures to distribute the film in theatres in December 2023.[12] That same month, it was scheduled for a theatrical release in the United States on July 12, 2024, with the film no longer titled Project Artemis.[13][1]
