Update May 25: the film will be directed by Doug Liman (‘Edge of Tomorrow’, ‘American Made’ (2017). The announcement was made on the eve of the launch of the Space X Dragon from Cape Canaveral in Florida.
Update: now realizing it is a very clever idea at all! The space should be the unique location in which Covid-19 is not supposed to be… 😈
Tom Cruise is reportedly said he is working on a project together with Nasa, Elon Musk, and Musk’s company SpaceX, for making a film in the space!
According to Deadline, that first released the piece of information, the film will be a full-lenght one, nor it will necessarily have to be a new episode of ‘Mission impossible’.
NASA’s CEO, Jim Bridenstine, twitted on his official profile:
“NASA is excited to work with @TomCruise on a film aboard the @Space_Station!
We need popular media to inspire a new generation of engineers and scientists to make @NASA’s ambitious plans a reality”.
And Elon Musk answered:
“Should be a lot of fun!”
As for Tom Cruise and ‘Mission impossible’ last chapter, the scenes foreseen for being realized in Italy, seem definitively deleted, also because of the problems with Covid-19.
So, what? Best regards, Tom, and…
a good mission in the space!
