A new movie starring Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum asks: Could the moon landing have been faked?
“I am not turning this ship into a flying billboard,” says Tatum’s Cole, a character inspired by real-life Air Force pilot turned NASA employee Deke Slayton. But he’s living in an era long before billionaire-funded space travel at a time when all cosmic exploration required government support. As such, NASA has to sell the American public—and skeptical politicians, one of whom is played in the film by Johansson’s real-life husband Colin Jost—on space travel.
Much of the so-called evidence to support this theory can be “found” in Kubrick’s The Shining, which some have interpreted as the director’s confession for faking the moon landing. Conspiracy theorists point to “evidence” like the “Apollo” sweater Danny Torrance wears and the key to the Overlook Hotel’s “Room No. 237,” the letters of which can be rearranged to spell “Moon Room.” Kubrick’s daughter Vivian has publicly denied the theory, calling it “manifestly a grotesque lie.
