Figured something like this would happen sooner or later.

I wouldn’t put too much stock in it as yet, but it’s cool that it’s even being talked about right now. When/if Starship really gets going and can take dozens of people and tons of cargo to orbit for only a few million, I think movies filmed In Space! will become a legit thing.

Either Crew-Dragon became realy cheap or the budget of that movie breaks the record of currently 379m$...

I mean you wouldn't need to do much more than point a gopro at Tom Cruise and record whatever he says. 

I'm not sure why they'd bother with Cruise anyway, I'll wait til they send Sigorney Weaver.

Needn’t be that much, SpaceX is only charging NASA around 55 million per seat. Now, with a used F9, used Dragon (which NASA won’t touch anyway), it would probably come in much less. Plus the publicity for SpaceX, I’m sure a deal could be made for a “reasonable” sum, at least in terms of movie budgets. 

Now, getting Tom Cruise’s ego into orbit, on the other hand, will require an SLS... <_<
