Tom Cruise isn’t letting the coronavirus or quarantine stop him from getting involved with new projects, especially one that will film in space.
Deadline reported the "Mission: Impossible" franchise star is working with Elon Musk's Space X and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to make the first narrative feature film to be shot in outer space.
"NASA is excited to work with @TomCruise on a film aboard the @Space_Station!" Jim Bridenstine, the current administrator of NASA, tweeted on Tuesday, ABC News reported. "We need popular media to inspire a new generation of engineers and scientists to make @NASA 's ambitious plans a reality."
"Should be a lot of fun!" Musk said in a reply to the tweet.
There’s no word on when production would start. Like most of the film and entertainment industry, Cruise’s upcoming projects have been delayed. “Top Gun: Maverick,” the sequel to Cruise’s 1986 film “Top Gun,” has been delayed from a June 24 release to Dec. 23 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Two movies in Cruise’s long-running “Mission: Impossible” franchise have been delayed, too. The Wrap reported in April that Paramount’s “Mission: Impossible 7” was set to release July 23, 2021, and has been moved to Nov. 19, 2021. “Mission: Impossible 8” has moved from Aug. 5, 2022, to Nov. 4, 2022.
