Tom Cruise Will Shoot a Movie in Space

Tom Cruise and Elon Musk are working with NASA to film the first narrative film in space. According to NASA Administrator, Jim Bridenstine, they will be filming in the International Space Station and this is needed to “inspire a new generation of engineers and scientists”. This will not be a new Mission Impossible and there is no studio attached. Elon Musk is working closely with NASA to help with US missions to space through his Space X.
