The project was then temporarily shelved, also due to the pandemic. Cruise was busy finishing the seventh film in the series “Mission: Impossible”, blocked after the start of the lockdown. Doug Liman, on the other hand, was finishing post-production on “Locked Down” with Anne Hathaway and “Chaos Walking “, with Daisy Ridley and Tom Holland.
Now Donna Langley, president of Universal Filmed Entertainment Group (UFEG), returns to talk in a BBC interview about a film with Tom Cruise in space. “I think Tom Cruise is taking us to space, he is taking the world to space. We have a big project under development with Tom that will take him to take a rocket to the Space Station ”. She then added: “Hopefully he will become the first civilian to take a spacewalk outside the International Space Station.”
According to Donna Langley, Cruise’s role will be that of a man who will find himself in the position of being the only person who could save the Earth. If all goes as planned, Doug Liman is also expected to take off with Tom Cruise into space.
The timing remains to be clarified: making a film aboard a space station it requires a very long and quite complex preparation. Cruise should be ferrying into space Elon Musk’s Space X capsule.
