Tom Cruise will go into outer space and challenge the Russian film "The Challenge"

Tom Cruise, who is no longer destined to become the first professional actor to participate in the filming of a movie aboard the International Space Station, will try to get ahead of his Russian counterparts in another. He will have to go into outer space.
That's the plan. Tom and I have a great project in the pipeline. We launch a rocket to the ISS and shoot there "- confirmed the head of Universal Filmed Entertainment Group (UFEG) Donna Langley.
She drowned that most of the film will be shot on the ground, culminating in the main character's "flight into space to save the world," adding that Cruise will be "the first civilian to make a spacewalk outside of the space station."
Note that such plans were first announced years ago. The working title of the project is "Deep Space". Production budget is estimated at least $ 200 million. Shooting schedule and a possible release date has not yet been called.
Recall that Russian filmmakers have already worked on the ISS, shooting episodes of the drama "The Challenge", in which the main role was played by Yulia Peresild. Actors and director Klim Shippenko also took part in a new program of cosmonaut training.
