Most boys when they are little dream of becoming either astronauts or actors for the top most-wanted jobs. But ‘why not both?’ seemed to had been the question that popped up into some people’s heads when they thought about making a movie in outer space.
NASA will be collaborating with the famous actor Tom Cruise for making a movie on board the International Space Station.
250 miles above the Earth’s surface
That’s where the shooting for the movie will be taking place. NASA confirmed the news through its director Jim Bridentine, without adding any info about how the movie will be called.

However, we can bet that the movie won’t take part of Tom Cruise’s most famous franchise ‘Mission Impossible’.
Currently being 57 years old, Tom Cruise also works as a producer after he had his successful acting career. As Wikipedia says about him:
He has received several accolades for his work, including three Golden Globe Awards and three nominations for Academy Awards. With a net worth of $570 million as of 2020, he is one of the highest-paid actors in the world. In addition, his films have grossed over $4 billion in North America and over $10.1 billion worldwide, making him one of the highest-grossing box office stars of all time.
The International Space Station may not be the ideal place for shooting movies, as it was initially destined for completely different activities: experiments in astronomy, meteorology, biology, physics, as well as for other fields.
The International Space Station (ISS) is both a space station and an artificial satellite present in low Earth orbit and fully visible with the naked eye during night time. The ISS program is more precisely a joint project between five space agencies: NASA from the United States, ESA from Europe, Roscosmos from Russia, JAXA from Japan, and CSA from Canada.
