Talk about impossible missions.

Tom Cruise is reuiniting with Edge of Tomorrow director Doug Liman with an ambitious plan to film a movie in space – and to make Cruise the first civilian to perform a spacewalk. Universal is backing the film, which has a budget of around $200 million.

First announced in May 2020, the untitled project will reteam Cruise and Liman and allegedly the production will use the SpaceX program (courtesy of embattled Twitter chief Elon Musk) to allow him to shoot scenes set aboard the International Space Station, including a spacewalk.

Cruise won’t be the first actor who has worked in space, though. Cruise’s journey into space was originally planned for October 2021, but was pushed back which allowed the Russian-made film The Challenge to make a movie on the International Space Station and earn the record of filming a professional actor in space for the first time.

When Variety quizzed Cruise about the project on the red carpet for his new Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One premiere in New York on Monday, Cruise said he didn’t have a production start date set, but said, “we’ve been working on it diligently and we’ll see where we go.”

Cruise is known for taking big risks in his action movies, and doing the stunts himself. Previous films have seen him strapping himself into the cockpit of a $70 million Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet, climbing the world’s tallest building and putting himself in other risky situations to thrill the audience, so its doubtful he’d let anyone double for him as he hangs off the ISS.

So far there is no further information on the movie, like plot, cast or release dates to discuss, and Cruise is set to film the second part of his lates Mission Impossible flick before he launches (ha) his next project.
