Doug Liman at an event for Great Directors (2009)
Will Tom Cruise film his next movie in space? In July 2020, Cruise, director Doug Liman, and writer Christopher McQuarrie teamed with Universal to make the first narrative film to be shot in space. SpaceX's Crew Dragon plans to fly Cruise to NASA's International Space Station, where Axiom Space and Space Entertainment Enterprise plan to add new ISS modules, including a space station movie studio that intends to launch by December 2024. Plot details and cast have yet to be announced, but who do you want to see join Tom Cruise in space?
