Tom Cruise’s Outer Space-Shot Movie With Elon Musk and NASA Lands Director Doug Liman - Variety

After NASA confirmed their plan to work with Tom Cruise and Elon Musk’s SpaceX on a film that would be shot in outer space, sources tell Variety the project has found its director.

Doug Liman, who worked with Cruise on “Edge of Tomorrow” and “American Made” has come on to direct the mystery movie, which will partly be filmed in outer space.

Deadline Hollywood broke the news weeks ago that Cruise and Musk had been plotting with NASA on the idea of shooting the project in space with NASA confirming the story days later.

Paramount has denied it’s the same film, but Liman and Cruise had been developing Liman’s passion project “Luna Park” at Paramount and clearly had an interest in doing something in outer space.

Reps for Liman and Cruise had no comment
