American actor and producer, Tom Cruise and SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk, are working on a project with NASA to shoot an action film in outer space.

The movie will be an action adventure, in true Cruise fashion, and will be the first narrative feature of its kind.

It would make sense for SpaceX to be involved in Cruise’s orbital movie plans, given deals the company has signed already to fly non-professional astronauts to the space station.

Earlier this year, SpaceX unveiled that it signed an agreement with Houston-based start-up Axiom, to fly three privately paying tourists to the ISS. That mission is scheduled to launch in the second half of 2021, Axiom said, using a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule. It would last 10 days – two days of travel and eight days on board the space station – and will include an Axiom “commander” to assist the three customers.

Cruise’s latest project, Mission: Impossible 7 and 8, is currently on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic. The film was about to shoot in Italy when the lockdown forced production to stop. The delays have now prompted Paramount to set new release dates for both films.

Cruise’s next release is Top Gun: Maverick, which flies into theaters this December.
