Tom Cruise does not stop and now he could become the first actor to record in space

After risking his life in endless stunts to entertain the audience of his films, the actor Tom Cruise It looks like he will make the leap to the next level, since he is about to become the first actor to turn to complete walk in space. A project that had already begun to take shape in 2020, but had to be suspended due to the pandemic.

After hitting the box office in theaters with ‘Top Gun’, Tom Cruise returns with this new challenge. This was confirmed by the president of Universal, Donna Langley, who says that a big project is being developed in which the actor is expected to travel to a space station and from there take a walk for the film.

The idea for this project comes from Tom Cruise himself, who worked on it together with director Doug Liman, with whom he has already coincided in films such as ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ (2014) and ‘American Made’ (2017). Through an interview with BBCLangley also comments that the film’s story takes place primarily on earth, but at some point the character needs to travel to space.

The project has been in progress since 2020 with SpaceX by Elon Musk and the POT, which would collaborate with Universal for its production. On the other hand, Doug Liman is ready to shoot the film, the director commented that he feels very confident to do so, especially after filming “Locked Down” in London in the midst of a pandemic.

Likewise, Langley highlighted the challenges the film industry now faces in order to continue drawing public attention to cinemas, as he ensured that great visuals won’t be enough to entertain audiences. Thus the bar rises more and more, to win the challenge that viewers go to the cinema and do not stay at home to watch the film.

Tom Cruise requires rigorous physical condition for this next challenge

For this new project in which Tom Cruise plans to shoot for the first time in space, time plays a bit against him, since the actor has just turned 60. However, he is younger than “Star Trek” actor William Shatner, who broke the record by taking a suborbital journey at the age of 90 that officially took him into space.

Even so, Tom Cruise remains in a physical condition that anyone would envy to be able to perform his dangerous scenes which he performs himself without doubles. The actor emphasized his love for the profession and the discipline he maintains in order to get the best possible job, almost without taking a break, all to entertain his audience.
