NASA and Elon Musk are working with Tom Cruise to hopefully film a movie aboard the International Space Station
LONDON, ENGLAND - DECEMBER 02: Tom Cruise attends The Fashion Awards 2019 after party held at Royal Albert Hall on December 02, 2019 in London, England. BEVERLY HILLS, CA - FEBRUARY 26: Elon Musk attends the 2017 Vanity Fair Oscar Party hosted by Graydon Carter at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on February 26, 2017 in Beverly Hills, California.
“The answer is yes, we would love for Tom Cruise to fly to the International Space Station and make a movie," he said, according to . "I’m all for that. We’re going to do what we can to make that happen. There was a day when I was in elementary school and I saw. From that day, I knew I was going to be a Navy pilot. It’s just the way it was. The goal here [is similar,] and it’s what we’re doing today [with the rocket launch].”NASA is partnering with SpaceX founder Elon Musk for the movie and the mogul is just as excited about the possibility.
“Get the kids fired up about it! Get them to want that space suit and want to go into orbit and go to the moon and go to Mars," Musk added on the movie's goal. "We’re reigniting the dream of space. Anyone who has within them the spirit of exploration should love what’s going on today.” Bridenstine concluded, “If we can get Tom Cruise to inspire an elementary kid to join the Navy and be a pilot, why can’t we get Tom Cruise to inspire the next Elon Musk? That’s what we need. We need a new generation of many Elon Musks. That’s what we’re doing with our launch [and the film]. It’s all about the next generation.”The movie, which will reportedly be written and helmed bydirector Doug Liman, first made news earlier this month and has since been confirmed by both Bridenstine and Musk.
