When can we see Cruise in space, also known as its natural habitat?
Tom Cruise he has spent the past decade making films that allow him to pursue his daring hobbies, such as standing outside the tallest building in the world and flying a helicopter as if he had stolen the federal reserve. So when it was revealed that Cruise and Limit of tomorrow director Doug Liman were coming together to make a film in real outer space, Cruise fans around the world said, “Yes, that makes sense”.
Steve Weintraub of Collider recently spoke with Liman about his film Braided, about a couple (Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor) who decide to steal Harrods in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the interview, Liman shared some updates on Tom Cruise’s highly anticipated space film, including how in the (outside) world they managed to get the project insured:
“Since the first conversations we had about the film … how do you guarantee that it was a central part of the conversations. Therefore, we would not be talking about this film if we had not found a way to navigate the insurance component. So we already sailed, but there wouldn’t have been a conversation about this film without knowing about insurance … it’s the same thing in Locked Down, one of the first conversations was about insurance, because of the pandemic … You can’t make a film without have an insurance conversation. AND [whether] you’re talking about going to outer space, [or] you’re talking about filming in London, at the heart of the pandemic, you know, insurance is going to dictate if that’s really possible. ”
When asked whether or not this project is something he hopes to start running in a year or two, Liman responded emphatically in the affirmative, saying, “Ah, yes. It is not just an abstract idea. It’s a movie. ”So, although he has confirmed that the project is still untitled, it is safe to assume that there is at least a complete treatment of the film, if not a complete draft. (Liman is linked to the project as a director and writer.)
Understandably, Liman could not say exactly what his next project would be, considering that the COVID cases are currently at an all-time high. But he revealed that he has something in hand that could potentially start shooting this year:
“I’m not sure if any of us really know what 2021 will be yet, because of the pandemic. I’m working on something I hope to be able to film. But I don’t think anyone can know 100% now. ”
Braided is broadcasting on HBO Max.
