Actor Tom Cruise, who is renowned for pulling off
high-octane stunts in his projects, is taking things to the next level and may
soon become the first actor to shoot in space. The Top Gun actor has reportedly
partnered with director Doug Liman on a project that calls for him to perform a
spacewalk. The Hollywood actor and director have reportedly approached the
Universal Filmed Entertainment Group (UFEG) with a proposal for Tom to launch
himself up to the International Space Station.
Conversations about Cruise’s desire to film in space were
put on hold during the COVID pandemic, but have recently resurfaced. Dame Donna
Langley, chairwoman of Universal Studios, confirmed to the BBC that sending Mr
Cruise to space is one of the studio’s missions. She revealed the project’s
details, saying that Mr Cruise and Mr Liman, who previously collaborated with
the actor on the Edge of Tomorrow, pitched the film during the pandemic. Ms
Langley reveals that the movie takes place on Earth, and then the character
must travel to space to save the day.
Ms Langley went on to say that Tom Cruise is going to take
the world to space with his upcoming film. She added that they are working on a
fantastic project with Tom that did take into account him taking a rocket to
the Space Station and shooting. The filmmaker said that she was hoping he would
be the first person from the general public to do a space walk outside of the
International Space Station. Langley also described Tom Cruise’s character in
the movie. She said that he is a down-on-his-luck person who finds himself in a
position where he is the only one who can save Earth.
The movie is currently in the conceptual stage and hasn’t
started shooting yet. Tom Cruise would be the first movie celebrity to film on
the International Space Station if the film is successful, as was previously
announced.
Only a few weeks earlier, previously unreleased footage from
Tom Cruise’s movie Top Gun: Maverick went viral and fans praised his incredible
stunt work. In the video, Cruise is seen standing on the biplane while holding
only a rig and speaking into the camera.
On the work front, the actor was recently seen in the
much-acclaimed film Top Gun: Maverick. The movie has been garnering rave
reviews from fans and viewers. The film also stars Jennifer Connelly and Miles
Teller in lead roles. The actor will also be seen in Mission: Impossible - Dead

James Bond, the martini-drinking, tuxedo-wearing British
secret agent, celebrates 60 years on the silver screen on Wednesday -- but who
will be the next actor to take on the iconic role?
According to sibling Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and
Michael G Wilson, the search for a new actor has not even begun following
Daniel Craig's final outing as the suave superspy in 2021 film "No Time to
Die."
"We won't actually be really looking for an actor for
some time," Broccoli said in an interview ahead of the 60th anniversary of
the Oct 5, 1962, world premiere of "Dr No," the first Bond film.
"What we have to do is start a whole new reinvention,
which is what's exciting about being at this place now," added Broccoli.
But as fans continue to speculate about who will be cast in
one of Hollywood's most sought-after roles, what characteristics are the producers
looking for the in next actor to play Bond?
"We want, first of all, a good actor, an actor who is
just not necessarily an action actor, but someone who can play what we hope
will be the demanding roles that we write in the scripts," Wilson said.
"That's certainly, I think, number one, but it's so
hard to ... I mean, if you look at the actors who portrayed Bond, it's very
hard to pin down any common characteristic," he added.
Sean Connery first played the fictional spy created by
author Ian Fleming. He was followed by George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy
Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and, finally, Craig.
Broccoli said choosing the right actor was paramount to the
franchise's success.
"Thank goodness they cast Sean Connery originally
because I think if it had not been him, who knows whether we'd still be here 60
years afterwards. And each one of the actors has transformed the series in a
new direction, kept them fresh and relevant for the time."
