In May this year, it was reported that actor Tom Cruise would be working with SpaceX and NASA to make an action film in space.
Representatives of Tom Cruise and SpaceX did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but NASA Administrator Jim Brydenset confirmed it in a tweet.
"NASA is excited to make a film with Tom Cruise on the space station, we need popular media to make a new generation of engineers committed to making NASA's plans a reality," he tweeted.

Now a new report has revealed further progress in this regard and the dream of making the world's first film in space seems to be coming true.
Variety reports that Tom Cruise is planning to shoot a new film in space and Universal Studios is in talks to be a part of the film.
The film is likely to be directed by Duff Lyman, and sources told Variety that at least کروڑ 200 million will be spent on its production.
On the other hand, Deadline said in a report that no details have been revealed about the story or script of the film and no date has been set for the start of production of the film.
According to Variety, two major streaming platforms were not invited for the project.
Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX, said in a tweet in May that the project would be a lot of fun.
SpaceX sent two astronauts into space at the end of May, the first time a private rocket company had done so.
The project also coincides with Tom Cruise's life-threatening stunts, especially his stunts in the Mission Impossible series.
But this new film will not be a sequel to Mission Impossible, but there is no need to name a franchise to make any film in space.
SpaceX is also working on a spacecraft starship that will be a multi-use spacecraft with enough space to carry a film crew.
It will take many years to build, but NASA has made it part of its future human missions to the moon, which will begin in 2024.
