Tom Cruise can now film in space: The only oxygen he needs is adrenaline
Disclaimer: This is not a was the winter of 2011, and I had recently found my freedom after completing school when 'Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol' was released. With a meagre budget from some saved-up pocket money, I decided to give it a try at a single-screen theatre in Meerut, a small town in Uttar Pradesh.I was hooked from the first The music, the story, the stunts — and above all, the charm of Tom Cruise.

(Photo: Screengrab) Over 14 years since that winter evening, both Tom Cruise and I have grown older, a lot wiser (me, a lot less though), and a little more serious about our crafts — he, a moviemaker; I, a lowly science journalist who continues to love having watched what Tom Cruise pulled off in 'Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning', I'm confident the 62-year-old specimen of flesh and bone has what it takes to make a film in you read that right — outside the what else is left? He's already conquered the three elements: land, sea, and air, thanks to his 'Top Guns' and 'Mission Impossibles'.Did you know there was even a plan for him to fly to the International Space Station — but, unfortunately, the Russians beat him to it.

Langley mentioned the plan was to have Tom do a spacewalk it never a Russian crew, actor Yulia Peresild, and director Klim Shipenko, flew to the Space Station and shot a sequence for a film titled The Challenge. They lived aboard the Station for 12 days before returning to Earth with the Yulia can do it, Tom Cruise could do it a notch better — maybe even with a spacewalk, Sunita Williams leaping off cliffs on a motorcycle, to running across buildings, to jumping off skyscrapers, to hanging off a plane facing monstrous air speeds, to going underwater and training to hold his breath for six straight minutes (the average human can do 30 to 90 seconds) — these are the stuff of legend. They're only possible with a life of discipline, a regimented routine, and a never-say-never margin for error. Tom Cruise (@TomCruise) May 21, 2025Tom Cruise has all that — and, above all, in his own words, the hunger to learn and shoot a film on the space station would call for a humongous collaboration — NASA, the production company, space station management, astronauts aboard the flying laboratory, SpaceX for launch and return missions, and most importantly, Tom Cruise himself, who would need months, if not years, of rigorous given Tom's history and love for films, he could make it there is one last mission that Tom Cruise should choose to accept, it's to conquer the final frontier — honestly? After watching 'Mission: Impossible', I'm convinced. If anyone can pull off cinema in zero gravity with a smile and a sprint, it's Cruise. Just don't forget the seatbelt. Or, you know Reel

(Photo Credit: Instagram) After the much-anticipated eighth chapter of the Mission: Impossible franchise was retitled from Dead Reckoning Part 2 to The Final Reckoning, fans began speculating whether this truly marked the end of Ethan Hunt's thrilling journey. Now, Tom Cruise himself may have just confirmed those suspicions. The film had its big premiere at the Cannes Film Festival last Friday, followed by a limited release in countries like India, Japan, and South Korea. On the Cannes red carpet, Tom Cruise stopped to chat with The Hollywood Reporter. The journalist remarked, 'I'd want everyone to see this movie. Maybe the final reckoning, maybe not, but what…" Cruise cut in, saying, 'It's the final," and added, 'It's not called final for nothing."

When Tom Cruise convinced director Stanley Kubrick to cast his wife Nicole Kidman in Eyes Wide Shut
All of Hollywood stopped and gasped in shock when Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman called it quits on their marriage in 2001, after being together for 11 years. However, during their time together, the couple worked alongside each other in movies like Far and Away (1992), Days of Thunder (1990) and Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut (1999). Interestingly, it was Cruise who suggested Kubrick cast Kidman in the film, and the director agreed to cash in on the undeniable and organic chemistry between the two. Just prior to getting the coveted BFI fellowship, Crusie talked to the magazine Sight and Sound and shared the story of how he was brought onto the Kubrick project and how, after glistening reviews from directors Sydney Pollack and Martin Scorsese, he was more than ready to work with The Shining director. 'It was a great experience. I was very excited to do it. I knew Stanley's movies very well, and I was introduced to him through Sydney Pollack. So Stanley called Sydney because he wanted me to make a movie. He sent me a fax. I flew straight to his house, and I had already read the script before meeting him, so we sat down in his backyard and discussed it the entire day. ALSO READ | Tom Cruise's Mission Impossible Final Reckoning is lowest rated M:I film on Rotten Tomatoes since 2006, far behind Fallout and Ghost Protocol Tom Cruise mentioned how he didn't really need any convincing to work with Stanley Kubrick and also how, after discussing the script with him, he thought of Nicole Kidman for the role of Alice Harford in Eyes Wide Shut. 'I knew all of his films. I spoke to Scorsese about him and Pollack… so I knew what he did and how he worked. Then it was basically he and I getting to know each other. And when we were doing that, I suggested Nicole play the role [of Alice]. Because obviously she's a great actress.' Cruise shared that he assured Kubrick that he was fully committed to the project and, no matter how long it takes, he was going to see it through. 'I knew it was going to be a long shoot. He was like, 'No, no, no. We'll finish in three or four months.' And I said, 'Stanley, look, I'm here for you. Whatever it's going to take, we're going to do this…' I thought the film was very interesting, and I wanted to have that experience,' added Cruise. In his illustrious career, Stanley Kubrick directed movies like The Shining (1980), A Clockwork Orange (1971), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and Barry Lyndon (1975), among others. The director passed away in 1999 due to a heart attack.
