In May 2020, specialist entertainment outlet Deadline broke the news that Cruise was embarking on a truly impossible mission. Who could be better than the actor who boasts of filming all his action scenes in various disciplines such as Kendo, parachuting and aircraft pilots. To everyone’s (or maybe no one’s) surprise, making this film was Tom Cruise’s own idea. This is what Langley said in an interview for the BBC.
“During the pandemic (cruise) asked to have a zoom call with us. He came on the call and said: Guys, I have this big project (…) We’re developing a big project with Tom where he wants to do exactly that: Go to the space station on a rocket and shoot there. We hope he will be the first civilian to spacewalk outside of the station.”
It would be in the International Space Station where the space scenes that Tom Cruise wants to shoot (The Conversation) take place.
Seemingly, the project is still in its infancy, However, it is known that, contrary to the expectation of many space enthusiasts, the tape will not be recorded entirely in space. Much of the film takes place on Earth and at some point the protagonist has to fly into space to avoid catastrophe.
It is also known that Universal Pictures is willing to pay $200 million for this production. Many may think this is an exorbitant sum, more than is necessary to record in space, but the truth is that it’s not even half the budget of the most expensive film in history, a record that Pirates of the Caribbean: Through mysterious waters sail along $410.6 million. movies like light year, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Spider-Man: No Way Home are some of the movies that had a budget of $200 million.
This film will have a budget of $200 million, just like films like Lightyear, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Spider-Man: No Way Home
Another topic Tom Cruise addressed during the ‘Mission Impossible: Deadly Judgment – Part 1’ red carpet was stunts, because at the age of 61 the actor filmed one of the most dangerous scenes of his career by falling from a plane jumped cliff on a motorcycle and fall with a parachute.
The actor told Variety about this dangerous stunt: “I keep things pretty cool, nothing unusual. A normal day for me. We woke up and I remember the morning McQuarrie and I got on set and we usually talked about the story and the characters, we just kept it really easy, as easy as possible. We know what’s going on. I remember arriving in the morning and the ramp was icy. On the EPK you can see me jumping out of the chopper to test the wind down there, they’re clearing the ice ramp. You go through it without any problems, without any changes.”
