But then, things get complicated. Kelly is then asked to stage a fake Moon landing. Will she betray Cole’s trust? You’ve got to watch to find out.
In an interview with People, Scarlett described her character as a “very modern woman living in a time where women were often underestimated. She uses that to her advantage and is always a few steps ahead.”
She also opened up about the film’s uniqueness, and the fact that audiences are going to love its “big idea” nature.
“It’s not derivative of anything else, it doesn’t follow a formula,” she says. “I think audiences haven’t been offered a big-idea movie that is both funny and poignant and original in a long time, and they are hungry for that. The film is totally entertaining and fresh. I’m very proud of it for its newness and scope.”
