Is a Tom Cruise space movie on the cards? Quite possibly yes, if Doug Liman has anything to say about it.

Doug Liman Talks XR Thriller ‘Asteroid’ & Tom Cruise Space Project “I Know I Want To Do More In Space”

A feature version of Asteroid remained an ambition, he continued but said no such had project had been greenlighted as yet.

“We could end up making seven more instalments for the headset… I’ve learned so much about storytelling on this… I was also planning to go shoot a movie in outer space with Tom Cruise and the reality is the experience you have watching Asteroid on the Android XR is that you are so inside a Hollywood movie in a way I’ve never experienced before,” said Liman

Pressed on the outer space project with Cruise, first revealed by Deadline in 2020, Liman said it remained on the cards, but there were no updates.

Liman added that shooting a film in outer space remained on his bucket list but that nothing was scheduled as yet, with both he and Cruise tied up in other projects.

“I’m more excited about going to space, not less… but our goal is too make something great. A lot of people are trying to do gimmicky things like, ‘Oh, it’s in space’. I’m not interested in doing something that’s a just promotional gimmick. I want to make a film that people watch in a hundred years when maybe there’s hundreds of movies shot in outer space and there’s nothing special about it being in outer space. That’s the goal of everything I do. With Swingers, it’s very meaningful to me that lots of people who watch it weren’t even born when it premiered here.”

“If I ever shoot a movie in outer space, the question will be what could I do that you couldn’t do on earth that makes for a great piece of entertainment, that’s better than if you didn’t do it it space. Again, its also about technology and storytelling… you can run a line from Swingers all the way through to this potential film in outer space.”
