“first narrative feature film” to be shot in space. A 2002 documentary narrated by Cruise called
'Space Station 3D’ was previously filmed on the ISS,
followed by a 2012 sci-fi film titled ’Apogee of Fear.’ It is not yet clear when or how Cruise will travel
to space, as Russia is currently the only country capable
of transporting humans to and from the station. However, Elon Musk’s SpaceX vehicle, Crew Dragon,
is set to transport two astronauts to the station later
this month in its first crewed mission.
