Tom Cruise<\/a> has been “working diligently” on his planned movie spacewalk.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tom Cruise wants to film in space<\/p>\n

The 61-year-old actor was previously revealed to be working with his ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ director Doug Liman<\/a> on a film set outside of the Earth’s surface, and he’s confirmed the project going ahead, though there isn’t a production start date set yet.<\/p>\n

He told Variety: \u201cWe\u2019ve been working on it diligently and we\u2019ll see where we go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Movie bosses revealed last year it was hoped the ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One’ star would make history by being blasted into space for the film.<\/p>\n

Universal Pictures chair Dame Donna Langley told the BBC: “We have a great project in development with Tom that does contemplate him taking a rocket to the Space Station.<\/p>\n

\n“And hopefully he will become the first civilian to do a space walk outside of the International Space Station. He will play a down-on-his-luck guy who finds himself in the position of being the only person who could save Earth.”<\/p>\n

\nPlans for the movie first emerged in 2020 with Elon Musk’s SpaceX and NASA both involved in the project.<\/p>\n

\nDoug revealed in 2021 he has “more confidence” about making a movie in space after shooting ‘Locked Down’ in a deserted London amid the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\nThe ‘Bourne Identity’ director said: “It connects to ‘Locked Down’ because the same producer who a year ago came to me and said how would you like to try to shoot a movie in outer space? That\u2019s PJ van Sandwijk, and he\u2019s the same person who said to Steve Knight and myself on July 1, what about you guys writing a movie for us to shoot in September?<\/p>\n

\n“But here\u2019s the thing. When a producer proposes something crazy to you, like, let\u2019s try to shoot a movie in outer space, and NASA and SpaceX sign on, and Tom Cruise signs on\u2026you\u2019re just a little bit more receptive when that same producer says I got another crazy idea, and that became ‘Locked Down’.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
