At 57, Cruise still has energy and an impressive physique for extreme sports and filming his own action scenes. Sure, and to put insurance companies in check.
The magazine Vanity Fair Spain published details about the production that would be made in the space and that still does not have a confirmed title. "What we do already know is the name of the mission, SpaceX Crew Dragon, as well as the identity of those who will participate in it: the pilot López Alegría, the number 1 space tourist: Tom Cruise, and the number 2 space tourist: Doug Liman ", who will be the director of the film and who repeats with the actor after Edge of Tomorrow, curiously also set on a space mission.
In his appearances in action sagas such as Mission: Impossible, Cruise accumulates a long history of injuries during the filming: bruises, bruises and even a broken ankle when he was filming Mission: Impossible: Repercussion in London. In the fourth installment, Ghost Protocol, he escaped unscathed from his climb of the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, in Dubai, a challenge that involved lanyards, drones and helicopter cameras to capture the action, plus nearly a hundred people. to support the scene.One of the most enthusiastic about the idea of filming a movie in space is the billionaire Elon Musk (the owner of Tesla and Space X), who, it is not ruled out, accompany the actor and director on the mission.
“I would love if Tom Cruise could fly to the International Space Station to make a movie. I'm on top of it, ”he told Indiewire last May.
There is Cruise for a while: the filming of the seventh part of Mission: Impossible progresses with the same spectacularity of its predecessors and next December (if there are no changes) Maverick, the new installment inspired by Top Gun, would be released.
