Tom Cruise and Director Doug Liman's Tourist Mission To Space Has Been Set
As you know, Tom Cruise and director Doug Liman are teaming up again for a film project that they will shoot in space onboard a Space Station. They are teaming up with Elon Musk’s SpaceX and NASA to make this unprecedented production happen.
There’s a lot of work that needs to be done before they actually start shooting, but Cruise and Liman are officially set to launch into space next October in what is being called a tourist mission. There is one extra seat still available on the Dragon Rocket and that is likely to go to another actor or a cameraman. We don’t know yet!
A tweet shared by Space Shuttle Almanac's account shared the news and Cruise and Liman will be on board when Commander Michael Lopez-Alegria, who holds two NASA spacewalk records, will be piloting the Axiom Space Station on the mission.
It’s been said that everyone involved with the production of the film, who will be going to space will have to go through “an unprecedented pre-production that will involve training to be able to withstand an outer space flight”
We still don’t know what kind of story the film will tell, but it’ll be interesting to see what Cruise and Liman end up doing with this incredible and rare opportunity to shoot a movie in space!
