EXCLUSIVE: I’m hearing that Tom Cruise and Elon Musk’s Space X are working on a project with NASA that would be the first narrative feature film – an action adventure – to be shot in outer space. It’s not a Mission: Impossible film and no studio is in the mix at this stage but look for more news as I get it. But this is real, albeit in the early stages of liftoff.
Mission: Impossible Fallout took a break, literally when he broke his ankle in a leap from one rooftop to the other and he also hung from a helicopter; he hung from the side of a jet plane during takeoff in Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation, and in Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol he scaled the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai skyscraper, and executed stunts 123 floors up. He is meticulous in preparing these stunts he does, which are frightening just to watch.
There has never been a leading man (Jackie Chan might dispute this) who puts himself at risk as often as does Cruise, in the name of the most realistic action sequences possible. If he is successful shooting a project in Musk’s space ship, he will be alone in the Hollywood record books. Stay tuned.

"But wait, Tom! You need a helmet to go into space!"
Cruise turns his head and slyly chuckles as he unlocks the hatch.

The age old question from 1998 has now evolved. Is it easier to train an astronaut how to act or an actor on how to be an astronaut?

Everyone: We literally can't film anything right now, we all have to remain in lockdown and social distance to flatten the curve. If only we could film somewhere were there is literally no one!
Tom Cruise: Hold my oxygen tank...
