Hollywood star, Tom Cruise, is working with NASA in making plans to shoot the first action movie in space.

He has partnered with NASA and Space founder, Elon Musk, to take the venture to the International Space Station.

It was shortly after a report claimed that the actor was looking to take his next movie to space that NASA director, Jim Bridenstine, confirmed the news on Twitter, stating: “NASA is excited to work with @TomCruise on a film aboard the @Space_Station! We need popular media to inspire a new generation of engineers and scientists to make @NASA’s ambitious plans a reality.

Musk replied: “Should be a lot of fun!”

It is said that the movie is set to be the next instalment in the ‘Mission: Impossible’ franchise.
