Tom Cruise will "hopefully" become "the first civilian to do a spacewalk" outside of the International Space Station when he blasts off to space to shoot a new action movie with director Doug Liman. Donna Langley, the head of Universal Pictures, teased as much during a recent BBC interview. Universal is backing the Cruise space project, which reportedly carries a budget in the $200 million range. While it was already known the movie would shoot scenes on the ISS, Langley said the plan is to also have Cruise perform a spacewalk.

They picked Tom, not because of his acting, but his miniscule size makes getting him to space a much more affordable venture.

I guess they see the 200 mil as part of the marketing budget, because space is definitely the one place where CGI makes sense

This. He's an absolute cultist nutjob, but he makes a good movie and reportedly treats people well in his personal life. He also generally stays out of politics and woke virtue-signaling.

$200 million budget with $30-$60 million to Cruise?

How much is it to send Cruise and any other required movie people to the ISS?

Not only that but he gets the studios to fund all his fun and exciting ventures like getting certified as a stunt pilot, helicopter certification, riding in F/A 18's and previously F-14's and now not just going in to space, but getting to space walk.

Sure, he drank the Scientology Kool-Aid, but he's gotten to do some bad ass stuff most armchair warriors only dream about.

I would expect he'd be going on a Falcon 9 / Crew Dragon.  Easily going to be tens of millions per seat.  I think NASA has being paying $60 million per seat on their contract though I think that was signed years ago and actual costs may have come down since that deal was signed.

He’s a good actor who makes good movies, is dedicated to his craft, has brass balls, doesn’t project his views on his audience or spout off to the media about how everyone else should live.

Gotta admire the life he’s lived.

I’ll watch his movies.

This isn't "Dedicated to his movies" and hasn't been for a long time.  This is "Wants to do some wild shit, and has the pull to get Hollywood to pay for it"

Which is even cooler

I’m not convinced he did drink the Kool-Aid. He’s basically a king to them and gets free reign. I listened to an interview with Leah Remini and she talked about how all the rules didn’t apply to him and he was the only one that had his own team of servants even though that wasn’t what they called them.

the man could spend the 30-60 mil on a ride, and still make a killing.

6. Cruise climbed a 2,000-foot cliff in "Mission: Impossible 2."


In the opening scene of 2000's "M: I 2," Cruise is seen climbing a cliff. And yes, that's really him.

Cruise scaled the cliff in Utah with nothing but a safety rope. He also did a 15-foot jump from one cliff to another.


4. Cruise broke his ankle jumping between buildings while making "Mission: Impossible — Fallout."

Hell, they could make a movie about his life that would have more action in it than many “action” flicks.
