Fly Me to the Moon Interview: Jim Rash and Anna Garcia

It takes a whole lot more than a village to get a man on the moon. In Greg Berlanti’s romantic comedy Fly Me to the Moon, Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum lead an ensemble of characters, from the experts at NASA to the film crew hired to stage the fabled fake moon landing. In addition to glamming up the Apollo 11 mission for 1960s Americans, the White House wants to film a backup should anything go wrong in space. Enter Community’s Jim Rash and Anna Garcia. In an interview with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, Rash and Garcia talk about joining forces with NASA to poke fun at one of the U.S.’s wildest conspiracy theories and how they were game to do so, considering Fly Me to the Moon “advocates for the truth behind [the theories].“ The duo also discusses finding the humor on set, improv versus what was scripted, and watching the stunt performers. Rash also talks about Community ahead of the upcoming movie and why the series has resonated with so many over the years. #fl
