Tom Cruise Plans a Movie in Space Together with SpaceX and NASA

A new film is to be made in space.

It may seem like nothing new, because there are plenty of movies about space. But I'm writing here about a movie being made in space. Perhaps for the first time what we will see on the screen will not be CGI, but scenes actually shot high above us. The idea seems crazy, but the film studios have the financial means to execute such an operation, and it also seems that the right people are involved in the talks.

Deadline published information about Tom Cruise's talks with SpaceX about the production of a new movie, which will probably not only take place in space, but will also be shot there. It's hard to say at this point whether the idea comes from Elon Musk or rather Tom Cruise. This information has the status of a leak rather than an official message. Cruise is known for playing in dangerous scenes. Stuntmen often get bored while making movies with him. On the set of Mission: Impossible Fallout broke his ankle, jumping off the roof. Another time he was attached to the plane's hull during takeoff.

Tom Cruise often takes risks while making his films, so he would probably agree to fly the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft with the film crew. Although we can only guess at such things for the time being, the idea itself seems to be possible. The companies concerned have the technology, and the film studios will surely find the finances for it. The right person was also chosen as the leading actor. All that remains is to wait for official information. And then for the premiere in theatres.
