Tom Cruise has been much in the news in the previous year owing to his new and super exciting venture that was supposed to be recorded in history. Actually, NASA made an announcement the previous year about its partnership with Tom Cruise and Elon Musk's SpaceX to shoot a film that will be partly shot aboard the International Space Station. This news made a big hit, and the response to the same was even more remarkable as this venture would be the first of its kind that allowed shooting in the space. The fans and followers who already are crazy behind Cruise went wild after hearing this big announcement and remarked their enthusiasm for the upcoming film.

But this glory of being "First of a kind" has now been taken by a Russian film named 'The Challenge' whose part sequence is finalized to be shot in the space soon by launching a mission, beating the fame of the $200 million worth upcoming movie. The small Russian crew team is supposed to begin its travel to the ISS, that is the International Space Station from October 5 to get it's name marked in history be the first film to be shot in space!

The traveling team consists of actress Yulia Pelesild, director Klim Shipenko and an experienced cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov who will act as the pilot to the three-seated Soyuz Spaceship. This movie states to be the first one to be a fictional full-length space film.

Along with the unique location, the film also features a unique plot. The story of the movie shows the requirement of a surgeon who could go in the space to heal the sick astronaut who is unable to return to the planet. How the surgeon travels, how he takes care of the illness and the co-ordination between timing and other exciting elements mixed together forms the base of the movie.

The arrival of the movie was announced after four months of the Hollywood project's big reveal, by, the State's Space Corporation namely Roscosmos, Production company Yellow, Black and White and the top-rated news channel of the country named the Channel One.

This revelation turned out to be a huge happening for Russians but it disappointed the Americans a little bit as tom's space epic won't be the first movie shot in space.

Talking about the female lead in the movie 'The Challenge', Yulia Sergeevna Peresild is a reputed Russian stage and film actress who is known for her remarkable works in varied films like Battle For Sevastopol (2015), Cold Tango (2017), The Three (2020), The Edge (2010), The  Executioner (since 2015), The Golden Horde (since 2018), A Rough Draft (2018), Captive (2008), Weekend (2013), Five Brides (2011) and many others. She was selected to play a role in this "space film" and be a part of this remarkable yet tough journey after a series of tests and trials.

The movie has been awaited highly worldwide, though the audience felt bad not to witness Cruise's film for the space opening.

I'd like to console all the fans and followers of Mr. Cruise since there's nothing to be sad of. You'll see your favorite star in many upcoming movies super soon like the Top Gun: Maverick, Mission: Impossible 7 and Mission: Impossible 8.
