At the Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One film premiere in New York, Tom Cruise was asked about his space film. He told the reporters that while he didn’t have a production start date set, “we’ve been working on it diligently and we’ll see where we go.”

Before he jumps onto the space film, Tom Cruise will have to first finish making Dead Reckoning Part Two. The film is set as a finale of his Mission: Impossible series. Now that Part One is here and is receiving rave reviews, Cruise and writer-director Christopher McQuarrie are ready to get to work on Part Two as soon as the Part One press tour ends.

Quoted by Variety, Christopher said, “We finish this tour, and on our way back to the UKwe stop to scout along the way. We hit the ground running as soon as we get back. I get two days of vacation between here and Tokyo and I’m back on.”
