Doug Liman still has the space on space with Tom Cruise – “I want to make a movie that people watch in one hundred years”

During the first Asteroid in Venice, Doug Liman They also turned to the other ambitious fans of the project they were waiting for … the film with which he intends to shoot in the real space Tom Cruise.

The project was revealed for the first time in 2020, but since then the updates have been scarce. Liman has confirmed that he is still a lot in his mind, even if nothing is officially on the move.

“I just finished this [Asteroid] So now I am elaborating what the next and what I have learned, in part it will be the way the public reacts to it, “explained Liman.

“You would prefer that you give you the most concrete answers but you’re taking me totally raw … I don’t know where it leaves me. I know I want to do more in space … I am more enthusiastic than this idea of ​​characters who have no business to go to space after doing it.”

That charm for imperfect or improbable heroes is something that crosses the entire Liman career. “My films are all anti -heroes. Tom Cruise is a coward Edge; It is full of criminal American Made; Matt Damon kills people to live Bourne’s identity and Brad and Angie kill both people to live [Mr. and Mrs. Smith].

“I am interested in how my types of characters who go to space and I love it AsteroidWe are equipped to put five in this second -hand capsule. “

For Liman, making a film in the real space is not just about beating records, titles or an expedient. It clarifies that the project must be alone as a piece of narration that would resist for decades.

“I am more enthusiastic about going to space, not less … but our goal is to do something exceptional. Many people are trying to do deceptive things like” Oh, it is in space “.

“I’m not interested in doing something that is just a promotional expedient. I want to make a movie that people look in one hundred years when there are perhaps hundreds of films shot in space and there is nothing special in the fact that it is in space.”

The director also stressed that the challenge is to understand what space can lead to the narrative that the earth simply cannot replicate. “If I ever turned a film in space, the question will be what I could do that you could not do on earth that makes a large piece of entertainment, it is better than if I did not do it in space.”

For now, both Liman and Cruise are linked to other projects, leaving the space film on the horizon rather than the launch. However, Liman sees him as a personal goal and a natural continuation of his career obsession to further push technology and narration.

As he said, “You can perform a line from Swingers Through this potential film in space. “
