Yes, you read that right! Tom Cruise's latest project will be taking him to International Space Station. He has been known for doing his own daring stunts in the “Mission: Impossible” series, such as holding onto the outside of a plane during take-off, and piloting a helicopter during a mountainous chase scene and him scaling the Burj Khalifa but his latest film will take him about 250 miles above cruising altitude — to the International Space Station.

The Space Shuttle Almanac tweeted that actor Tom Cruise and director Doug Liman (“The Bourne Identity”) are headed to the ISS in October 2021, thanks to Elon Musk.

Tom Cruise, 58 and Doug Liman, 55, and possibly an additional actor will board Musk’s Axiom SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule and travel to ISS to make the first major movie ever shot in space which does not yet have a name. Both Tom Cruise and Doug Liam are pilots and their adventurous spirit can be seen in their filmmaking.

It is going to be the first ever narrative feature film to be shot in outer space. According to sources it took just a Zoom call with the actor along with the directors and writers. The pitched the film worth no script and the Universal Pictures came with a production commitment of $200 million. Apparently Doug Liman is still writing the script. It is also said that Elon Musk, SpaceX CEO will be a partner in the project will McQuarrie, writer-director of Mission Impossible films be on ground as advisor and producer.

The tweet clearly says “one more spot to be filled” which is rumoured to be given to the female lead in the film. The film has no yet and lift-off is still a year away.
