Space may soon house a full-fledged TV and Francefilm studio, thanks to Space Entertainment Enterprise (S.E.E.).
According to The Hollywood Reporter (THR), the company that is co-producing Tom Cruise's upcoming space movie (which is set to be filmed in space), is intending to launch the studio by 2024, in addition to a streaming studio and sports arena.
The microgravity production broadcast module, named SEE-1, will be fitted to the Axiom Station, a commercial space station being made by Axiom Space and that will be attached to the International Space station prior to orbit.
“Creating a next generation entertainment venue in space opens countless doors to create incredible new content and make these dreams a reality," said Richard Johnston, COO of S.E.E.

S.E.E. partners, consultants and advisors consist of former HBO, Endemol, and Viacom executives, as well as investment bank GH Partners.
“SEE-1 is an incredible opportunity for humanity to move into a different realm and start an exciting new chapter in space,” said co-founders Elena and Dmitry Lesnevsky.
"It will provide a unique, and accessible home for boundless entertainment possibilities in a venue packed with innovative infrastructure which will unleash a new world of creativity. With worldwide leader Axiom Space building this cutting-edge, revolutionary facility, SEE-1 will provide not only the first, but also the supreme quality space structure enabling the expansion of the two trillion-dollar global entertainment industry into low-Earth orbit.”
Shooting movies in space is apparently the hot new trend. Tom Cruise was initially planning to be the first to do it, only for a Russian film crew to launch off to the ISS and beat him to it last October.
If this film studio does end up happening, it seems like it'll require a whole lot of time, money, and commitment. Besides, we've been enjoying space movies that haven't been filmed in space for decades now. And they've done just fine.
