After making three “To All the Boys” movies back-to-back, actress Lana Condor wasn’t exactly anti-romantic comedy but was certainly looking for something different. Enter “Moonshot,” an original film that blends the sci-fi and rom-com genres to delightful effect.
“I had honestly just never seen anything like [it] cross my desk,” Condor told TheWrap in a recent interview about her new film. “A sci-fi-like rom-com isn’t even really a genre because it’s not really done. And I was just so curious about that genre because I love to try new things.”
Condor’s character Sophie is finishing up school on earth, writing her thesis and dreaming of the day she gets to reunite with her longtime boyfriend Calvin Riggins (Mason Gooding), whose family now resides on Mars.
