Story Details Shared for Tom Cruise's Film That Will Shoot in Space
Some new details have emerged for the movie that Tom Cruise and director Doug Liman are planning to shoot in space. There haven’t been a lot of updates in the Universal Pictures movie since it was announced.
It’s now being reported that the movie still doesn’t even have a script, but they do hope to have one written and ready to go by next year as it will most likely be the next film Cruise works on after he’s finished with Mission: Impossible 8.
It’s also said that most of the movie will be shot on Earth and that there are scenes that will only be "partially shot on the International Space Station" with some "additional footage... to be shot on a rocket." It was previously reported that the whole film would be shot in space, which is so much cooler than “partially shot.”
As for the story, the movie is described as an “action-adventure” movie, and Cruise will play "a down-on-his-luck guy who finds himself in the position of being the only person who could save Earth"
The upcoming film will be a collaboration between Elon Musk's Space X and NASA, and production would take place aboard the International Space Station when they're actually in space.
Universal Pictures has committed $200 million to the movie. I’m looking forward to seeing how it turns out!
