Russia and the United States are once again locked into an epic extraterrestrial rivalry, but this time there’s a major plot twist: Both are vying to be the first to shoot a movie in space. This month, Russia’s space agency, Roscosmos, selected an actor and director to head to space in October to film a movie provisionally titled “Challenge.” Russia’s plans will launch alongside a rival plan by NASA, SpaceX and Tom Cruise, who will also be filming a movie in space the same month on the International Space Station.
