Hollywood star Tom Cruise and SpaceX are reportedly working on a project with NASA that involves shooting an action-adventure movie in outer space, according to multiple reports.
It will be the first narrative feature film to be shot in space, but, it will not a "Mission: Impossible" movie.
No studio is in the mix at this point.
Last April, Paramount delayed the release dates for Mission: Impossible 7 and Mission: Impossible 8, which was set to be released in 2021 and 2022 release dates for each entry and was set to begin filming at the beginning of 2020.
However, the movies' productions were shut down right when it was about to begin, due to coronavirus outbreak.
Under the working title of "Libra," "Mission: Impossible 7" is the latest in a line for the highest-grossing movie franchises for the Paramount Pictures franchise.
"Mission: Impossible 7" was scheduled to arrive on July 21, 2021, but will now hit theaters on November 19, 2021.
Meanwhile, "Mission: Impossible 8" was pushed back from its August 5, 2022 date and will instead debut on November 4, 2022.
In 2018, Cruise broke his ankle while shooting "Mission: Impossible Fallout" movie as he leaped from one rooftop to the other, and put himself at risk as he hung from a helicopter while shooting the movie.
The 57-year-old actor prepares himself before carrying out these dangerous stunts he does, which includes hanging from the side of a jet plane in the 2015 movie "Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation", and in the 2011 "Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol" he scaled the Burj Khalifa, Dubai skyscraper, executing the stunt from 123 floors up.
If he is successfully shooting the project in Musk’s spaceship, he will be the first and only star to shoot a movie in space, in the Hollywood record books.
