    Tom Cruise and Doug Limon are tentatively scheduled for launch on October 21, 2021 to the ISS for movie-ness.

    After the movie "Gravity" was released, one reporter asked the director if he would talk about the difficulties encountered while filming in space for that long. Reporter Asks 'Gravity' Director Alfonso Cuaron What It's Like to Film in Space (Video) | Hollywood Reporter

    Ka-ching for SpaceX. That'll be 55 million a pop for at least three of those four Dragon seats. Not sure about the price Axiom is paying for the Commander's seat, former astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria. I also wonder how much of the revenue is going to NASA.

    Apparently the only crewmembers associated with the film are Cruise and his director Doug Limon. It'll be interesting to see how the content they shoot in Space gets spliced into the movie. My guess is the ride to Space and return home will grab some screen time. In fact I'll make an early prediction that the actual launch and splashdown will be more fun to watch than the final flick. Although if Tommy can elevate his old couch jumping routine.....
