Tom Cruise<\/a> will continue performing gravity-defying stunts in his upcoming projects, as more details about the plot and filming details for his space-set feature have emerged. The Academy Award-nominated actor is set to shoot part of the untitled movie on the International Space Station, with some footage also being obtained on a rocket, Variety<\/a> is reporting. Most of the footage for the film will be shot on Earth, however.<\/p>\n

The feature, which as initially announced in May 2020, will be made in conjunction with Elon Musk’s aerospace manufacturer-space transportation company, SpaceX. Palme d’Or-nominated filmmaker, Doug Liman is set to direct the movie, for which he’s also co-writing the script for with Christopher McQuarrie.<\/p>\n

Liman previously worked with Cruise on such films as Edge of Tomorrow<\/i><\/strong><\/em> and American Made<\/strong><\/em>. McQuarrie also collaborated with the actor on Edge of Tomorrow<\/i><\/strong><\/em>, as well as such features as Jack Reacher<\/em><\/strong> and its sequel, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back<\/strong><\/em>; Valkyrie<\/strong><\/em>; The Mummy<\/i><\/strong><\/em>; and the Mission: Impossible<\/i><\/strong><\/em> entries Rogue Nation<\/i><\/strong><\/em> and Fallout<\/i><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Universal Pictures is reportedly intending to begin production on the trio’s untitled space feature sometime next year; the studio is just waiting for Liman and McQuarrie to deliver the script.<\/p>\n

The studio is expecting the movie to be the next project that Cruise works on next after he and McQuarrie finish shooting Mission: Impossible 8<\/em><\/strong>; the sequel began production shortly after the franchise’s seventh installment wrapped its filming in September. [The follow-ups’ release dates were recently pushed back to July 14, 2023 and June 28, 2024, respectively.]<\/p>\n

The collaborators’ upcoming space film is being described as an action-adventure project, rather than a sci-fi-driven one. In the feature, Cruise is set to play a down-on-his-luck man who finds himself in the position of being the only person who could save Earth.<\/p>\n

Despite its initial announcement in 2020, and original plan to begin shooting last October, production on the movie was ultimately delayed. The upcoming Russian docudrama, The Challenge<\/em><\/strong>, ended up becoming the first big screen feature to shoot in the International Space Station, where it filmed for 12 days in October.<\/p>\n

Cruise, Liman and McQuarrie are determined to overcome any scheduling conflicts to make the space movie together. The writers didn’t even have a script when they initially pitched the idea for the feature to Universal, but the studio was impressed enough with the concept that they offered the filmmakers a $200 million budget for the project.<\/p>\n
