NASA will be collaborating with Tom Cruise to produce a new action movie in space, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine announced in a tweet on Tuesday.

The movie will not be a part of the Mission: Impossible franchise and so far there is no studio involved with the project. In February, Cruise’s latest movie, Mission: Impossible 7, had to be put on hold due to COVID-19, as the production was taking place in Italy — one of the countries most affected by the virus.
