It's time for any remaining "Mission Impossible" fans. Tom Cruise, famous for his lengthy film career and just being the epitome of midlife crises, is still set to film a movie in space.
It's still the plan.
Tom Cruise is going to space. The world is going to space. Donna Langley, chair of Universal Studios, said that the plan was to have telescopes and probes and whatnot.
"We have a great project in development with Tom, that would make him do that," she said.
Don't get too carried away with your hopes. The film will mostly take place on Earth, but it will feature a down-on-his-luck guy who finds himself in the position of being the only person who could save Earth. The choice to send Cruise to a space station that looks like a sex toy is compelling.
Langley said that Cruise will be the first civilian to ever do a spacewalk, though her apparent restraint is a tad suspicious. If Tommy Boy were for sure spacewalking, let alone going to space at all, Universal would probably just say so, and the disclaimers may be a sign that either the studio or the company have run into trouble. After a long time, astronauts hang off the side of a spaceship. He likes to do his own stunts.
He may be trying to get the studio to let him do something that they may be having second thoughts on.
Even though Cruise is a powerful man, Universal still owes him for the terrible "Mummy" remake. Good luck to the actor and the studio as they put horrible pollution into the world for something that could have been done with computer-generated imagery.
Tom Cruise will be the first civilian to do a spacewalk outside of the space station in his new movie.
There is something weirdly sexual about the Tom Cruise space station.
