The 54-year-old British film executive said that the actor would be flown into space before disembarking from his rocket. All of this would be will be captured on camera for the film.
"We have a great project in development with Tom that does contemplate him taking a rocket to the Space Station", Donna explained to the BBC.
"And hopefully he will become the first civilian to do a space walk outside of the International Space Station," she added.
