<p>Hollywood A-list actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tom-cruise" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Cruise</a> could make history by becoming the first civilian to walk in space outside of the International Space Station.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Top Gun: Maverick&#8221; star and &#8220;The Bourne Identity&#8221; director Doug Liman reportedly pitched a film idea to Universal Filmed Entertainment Group that would involve sending Cruise into space.</p>
<p>Universal Pictures chairwoman Donna Langley announced the news last week during an interview with <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-63130695" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BBC News</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Tom Cruise is taking us to space — he’s taking the world to space,&#8221; Langley said. &#8220;That&#8217;s the plan.&#8221;</p>
<p>Langley said that the project in development with Cruise has contemplated the “Mission: Impossible” star blasting off in a rocket up to the space station, &#8220;hopefully&#8221; making Cruise &#8220;the first civilian to do a spacewalk outside of the space station.&#8221;</p>
<p>But Langley emphasized the majority of the film would take place on earth until Cruise&#8217;s character, who she described as &#8220;a down-on-his-luck guy who finds himself in the position of being the only person who could save Earth,&#8221; takes a heroic journey up to space to save the day.</p>
<p>Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/tom-cruise-reportedly-lift-off-space-new-movie-bourne-identity-director">reports</a> Cruise and Liman had initially pitched the film idea to Langley through a Zoom call during the pandemic.</p>
<p>She said Cruise directly reached out to her, saying, &#8220;Guys, I&#8217;ve got this great project, and here it is.&#8221;</p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Two years ago, Space Shuttle Alamance confirmed in a tweet that an Axiom Space and NASA would fly Cruise and Liman on a tourist mission aboard Elon Musk&#8217;s SpaceX Crew Dragon. With one seat left to fill at the time, the crew would launch in October 2021.</span></p>

<p>Variety <a href="https://variety.com/2022/film/news/tom-cruise-space-movie-first-civilian-spacewalk-outside-of-space-station-1235399127/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a> Universal signed on to back the Cruise space project with a budget in the $200 million range.</p>
<p>Liman and Cruise have previously worked together on films such as &#8220;Edge of Tomorrow&#8221; (2014) and &#8220;American Made&#8221; (2017). But this would be the first project where the pair, or anyone, would film out of this world.</p>
<p>&#8220;When a producer proposes something crazy to you, like, let&#8217;s try to shoot a movie in outer space, and NASA and SpaceX sign on, and Tom Cruise signs on… you&#8217;re just a little bit more receptive,&#8221; Liman told <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.thrillist.com/entertainment/nation/doug-liman-interview-covid-tom-cruise" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Thrillist</span></a><span data-preserver-spaces="true">.</span></p>
<p>Inside sources told Variety that Cruise could earn between $30 million and $60 million for his role as a producer and star of the film.</p>
<p>Cruise also made film history recently with “Top Gun: Maverick” becoming Paramount Pictures’ highest earning film at the domestic box office, surpassing the $600 million milestone.</p>
