Tom Cruise was all set to take Hollywood movies to next level as the huge step of shooting a movie in real space would have mark a stamp on history of filmmaking. Earlier this month, partnership between SpaceX and NASA was confirmed to shoot a movie in the International Space Station.

This advanced movie was supposed to feature Tom Cruise and according to CNET, it wasn't supposed to be a Mission Impossible franchise. Unfortunately, there is an utter disappointment for fans and dreams have shattered for the filmmakers including Tom Cruise.

The movie was supposed to be helmed by the director, Doug Liman who is popular for directing movies such as Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Edge of Tomorrow, Fair Game and so on. The film was anticipated to be a huge success considering the enigma of the universe, its exhibition of complexities, and magic of space.

However, it all seems like a far-flung dream to achieve and the reason looks practical and valid as there is no experience and the crew is amateur to handle situation of the space. The beyond atmosphere movie would have been almost impossible to shoot.

This is not the first time someone wanted to shoot in the space. Yes, the legacy started in 2008 when Richard Garriott who is a space tourist and a video game developer and also son of an astronaut named Owen Garriott from NASA Skylab.

Richard shot a short movie of 5 minutes called Apogee of Fear that cost an insane amount of $30 million. Garriott’s odyssey made him learn that filming is apparently slow due to the vacuum and anti-gravity that makes it harder.

Garriott shared his experience with CNET and mentioned that if someone thinks about shooting an entire movie then the pre-production is going to be critical. He further mentioned that experience of shooting every scene in space is worse, especially with a large set of crew members. In fact, every shot becomes even more expensive considering the crew cost.

While Richard became an inspiration for SpaceX crew and deserves all the applaud for taking such huge risk. While Hollywood is known for its impressive visual effects, advanced graphics, cinematography, and animation that makes the film realistic and surreal, shooting in outer-space isn't a joke as it is an entire different spectrum to deal. If a five-minute shot can cause such trouble, then its unimaginable to even think about a feature film of two hours.
