Tom Cruise will officially take on his biggest stunt1 yet in October 2021 when he travels to outer space to film a new movie.
汤姆·克鲁斯将于2021年10月正式开始他有史以来最盛大的特技表演,飞到外太空去拍一部新电影。
The Space Shuttle Almanac tweeted Wednesday that previous reports that Cruise would lead the first movie filmed in outer space on the International Space Station (ISS) are coming to fruition. The 58-year-old actor will be joined by “The Bourne Identity” director Doug Liman next year as part of Elon Musk’s Axiom SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule.
Together, they’ll head to the ISS and begin production on the first major movie ever shot in space. Although the movie doesn’t yet have a title or plot, it will mark Cruise’s most ambitious stunt in a decadeslong career of death-defying on-screen moves.
"So it's confirmed that @CommanderMLA is flying the @Axiom_Space @SpaceX #CrewDragon tourist mission with Director @DougLiman & Tom Cruise. One seat still to be filled. They are to launch in October, 2021," the Space Shuttle Almanac's tweet reads.
In past "Mission: Impossible"
installments3, Cruise performed daring
stunts4 such as hanging off the side of a jet plane and scaling
skyscrapers5. However, it was
previously6 reported that the project he’s blasting off the planet for is not related to the “Mission: Impossible”
franchise7, which is currently filming its seventh
installment2 after Cruise personally paid for cast and crew to live on cruise ships amid the coronavirus pandemic.
NASA
administrator8 Jim Bridenstine previously confirmed the news that the star was angling to go into space to further his impressive
acting9 career. Cruise has been nominated for three Academy Awards throughout his career and is set to appear in the sequel to his hit
flick10 "Top Gun," which is scheduled to
debut11 in 2021.
