Hollywood actor Tom Cruise is truly making the impossible, possible as he will reportedly set out to go to space come October 2021.
The Space Shuttle Almanac tweeted on Wednesday that the film would be the first movie shot in outer space in the International Space Station (ISS). Alongside Cruise will be “The Bourne Identity” director Doug Liman and pilot Michael Lopez-Alegria.
The three will be part of the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule of Elon Musk.

While the movie doesn't have a title or plot, it will be Cruise's most ambitious stunt in his career as a moviemaker and an actor.
In his last “Mission: Impossible” movie, Cruise took a break from filming because he broke his ankle while jumping from one rooftop to another.
Last May, it was reported that Cruise plans to collaborate with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to shoot a movie in outer space.
NASA Administrator James Bridenstine confirmed the reports and said, “NASA is excited to work with @TomCruise on a film aboard the @Space_Station! We need popular media to inspire a new generation of engineers and scientists to make @NASA's ambitious plans a reality.”
Musk replied, “Should be a lot of fun!”
Should be a lot of fun!
