An upcoming American science fiction action film is being written and directed by Doug Liman, and will star Tom Cruise. It will be the first English-language narrative feature film to be shot in outer space.

Previously in 2008, Apogee of Fear, a narrative short film was the first narrative film shot in outer space.[1] Slightly earlier in 2021, Klim Shipenko shot the first narrative feature in outer space, The Challenge (Russian: Вызов), aboard the International Space Station, released in April 2023.[2][3]

Premise edit

A down on his luck man winds up being the person who can save the planet.

Cast edit

Production edit

It was announced in May 2020 that Tom Cruise, in collaboration with NASA and SpaceX, would star in a film that would shoot in outer space. Doug Liman was announced to direct the film later in the month.[4][5] In July, Universal Pictures purchased the film, with a budget of $200 million. Christopher McQuarrie was announced as a producer.[6] In September 2020, it was announced Cruise and Liman were to be aboard a tourist mission to space in October 2021.[7] By October 2022, Cruise and Liman had yet to make the trip, though Universal were still hopeful this would occur.[8]
