Tom Cruise is “obsessed” with “extraterrestrial life forms” and would like to make a movie in space.
“Tom has always been absolutely obsessed with extraterrestrial life forms,” a source said to In Touch.
An insider continued, “That’s why he’s so driven to make his space movie a success.
The Top Gun star “can’t wait to go up and float around among the stars,” the source said to the site.
The space film’s director, Doug Liman, who collaborated with Tom on Edge of Tomorrow before, called the action star’s concept “a dream and a plan.”
NASA director Jim Bridenstein declared the agency was “excited to work with @TomCruise on a film aboard the @Space_Station!” earlier in 2020.
“To make @NASA’s ambitious plans a reality, we need popular media to inspire a new generation of engineers and scientists,” he said.
But in a July 2023 interview with Variety, Tom stated, “We’ve been working on it diligently,” but he did not provide any other details.
Unbeknownst to the general public, Tom is constantly seeking his next great adventure. He recently completed the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris by rappelling into the Stade de France stadium.
“Tom argued with producers over his safety rope being overly visible, as he felt it did not make the jump believable enough and he did not plummet as fast as he wanted,” a source said to the outlet at the time.
Tom is aware of the dangers, yet he doesn’t seem to care. He is not going to back down. According to an insider, “He really feels that he is bigger than life.”
“Tom keeps emphasizing that he lives for the grind of working—as long as he can be in charge!” the person continued.
