Tom Cruise to become the first actor to shoot a movie in outer space?

It seems like Hollywood star Tom Cruise, who is known for going to extreme lengths to achieve cinematic triumph for each of his projects, will be doing the same once again by becoming the first actor to film a movie in outer space.
According to the NY Post, Cruise has reportedly teamed up with filmmaker Doug Liman on a movie pitch that involves filming in space, an idea that was first tabled in 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic halted production.
Reports suggest that the actor-director duo reached out to Universal Filmed Entertainment Group (UFEG) on an idea that would see Cruise take a rocket up to the International Space Station.
The NY Post has reported that UFEG Chairman Donna Langley revealed most of the movie would be shot on earth, culminating in “the character [going] up into space to save the day”.
Cruise would be the first movie star to shoot in outer space on the International Space Station, given that the idea actually materialises into something.
Though this might seem like an unprecedented move by the actor, it is not at all surprising because he is renowned for his ambitious stunt work.
Back in July, on the actor’s 60th birthday, his ‘Mission: Impossible’ director, Christopher McQuarrie, shared a rare photo of the US actor performing a truly insane stunt. In the image, Cruise was dangling from an airborne red biplane with very little assistance, as per the NY Post.
