Tom Cruise is set to become the first actor to make a movie in space


Just when you thought Tom Cruise had achieved his greatest possible cinematic triumph with the success of the sequel Top Gun, the blockbuster star comes up with an idea that is, quite literally, out of this world.

The 60-year-old Hollywood veteran has reportedly teamed up with Bourne identity director Doug Liman about the movie pitch, which includes filming in space, which was first presented in 2020 before plans for the Covid-19 pandemic came to a halt.

Cruise and Liman are said to have contacted Universal Filmed Entertainment Group (UFEG) about an idea that the actor would launch a rocket to the International Space Station.

“I think Tom Cruise is taking us into space, taking us into space,” UFEG president Donna Langley told BBC News.

“This is the plan. We have a great project in development with Tom … We take the rocket to the Space Station and shoot.”

Langley revealed that most of the movie will be shot on the ground, culminating in “character” [going] to a place to save the day “, adding that he hopes Cruise will become” the first civilian to make a spacewalk outside a space station. “

If the movie takes off, Cruise will be the first movie star to shoot in space on the International Space Station.

While the movement is certainly unprecedented, it is fair to say that it is not surprising that Cruise targets space, with Jerry Maguire an actor known for his ambitious stunt work.

For Cruise’s 60th birthday in July Mission impossible director Christopher McQuarrie shared a rare photo of an American actor performing a truly crazy feat.

In the picture of Cruise, you can see a red aerial biplane hanging from the air with very little – if any – help.

He made headlines when he was injured on set Mission impossible 6 in 2017, with a video leaked showing his fatal jump to the roof, which was unsuccessful.

Cruise was seen crashing into the building, harnessed dangling in the air, then hauled himself up onto the roof and stumbled towards the crew members.

Only a few months later, he returned to the set in London, shooting acrobatics.

Cruise was recently asked at the Cannes Film Festival why he decides to quit the stunt actor, reportedly responding, “No one asked Gene Kelly,” Why are you dancing? “

Kudos to Cruise, who has been working in Hollywood since the early 1980s, is in fever after the huge success of the long-awaited sequelTop Gun: Maverick.

In just a few weeks after its May release, it became Australia’s fifth-highest grossing film, and has since jumped to third place and reached over $ 1.4 billion at the global box office.
