Tom Cruise's Space Movie Cancelled: Here Is Why

Mumbai, December 30 - Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise has reportedly cancelled his space movie, which he was supposed to film in outer space, under the direction of Doug Liman, who previously directed the actor in American Made and Edge of Tomorrow.

Tom Cruise had been preparing for a sci-fi movie, in an attempt to shoot it in outer space. But according to the latest report by Page Six, the film has been cancelled after Cruise reportedly refused to ask for President Donald Trump's help in its production.

As reported earlier, for Cruise to film in space, he and director Liman needed to collaborate with NASA for the project. However, the actor would have had to ask a favour of President Trump to make it happen, which the actor didn't want to do.

The untitled movie was announced in 2020 and was supposed to start by now. It was set to be made with both NASA and SpaceX's involvement to ensure it could be shot into space. However, the federal government, and specifically the President, would have needed to sign off on the plan, which Cruise didn't want to.

Meanwhile, Cruise has been working on multiple projects. Earlier this year, he wrapped filming on a new black comedy directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu and is also reportedly in talks with Paramount to work on the third Top Gun movie.
