Hollywood actor Tom Cruise is set to become first actor to shoot a movie in
outer space.

The 60-year-old Hollywood veteran has reportedly teamed up with The Bourne
Identity director Doug Liman on a movie pitch that involves filming in space,
which was first tabled in 2020 before the Covid-19 pandemic halted plans.

According to the New York Post, Cruise and Liman are said to have reached out
to Universal Filmed Entertainment Group (UFEG) on an idea which will see the
actor take a rocket up to the International Space Station.

UFEG Chairman Donna Langley revealed that most of the movie would be shot
on earth, culminating in “the character [going] up to space to save the day”.
She added that she is hopeful Cruise will become “the first civilian to do a
spacewalk outside of the space station.”
