Doug Liman was announced to direct the film later in the month. In July, Universal Pictures purchased the film, with a budget of $200 million. Christopher McQuarrie was announced as a producer. In September 2020, it was announced Cruise and Liman were to be aboard a tourist mission to space in October 2021. By October 2022, Cruise and Liman had yet to make the trip, though Universal were still hopeful this would occur.
