Tom Cruise, recognized for both his acting skills and his willingness to perform stunts live and without doubles, has been a strong advocate for the cinematic experience in theaters.
In the midst of the pandemic, he stood out for delaying the release of Top Gun: Maverick on streaming platforms to ensure it was seen in theaters, reaffirming his commitment to the traditional film industry. Now, with this new project alongside Iñárritu, Cruise seems willing to continue pushing the boundaries of live-action in cinema.
Innovative director
On the other hand, Alejandro G. Iñárritu has won two consecutive Academy Awards for Best Director for Birdman and The Revenant.
His most recent work, the virtual reality short film Flesh and Sand, earned him praise for its innovative approach to representing migrant stories.
The cast of the movie is also capturing attention. The participation of Sandra Hüller, John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons, and Sophie Wilde has been confirmed, while Riz Ahmed is in talks to join the cast. This team of actors promises to further elevate the profile of the project.
Although the plot details have not been officially confirmed yet, some reports suggest that the movie could focus on a powerful man who embarks on a mission to prove that he is the savior of humanity before a disaster that he himself has caused destroys everything.
If this premise is confirmed, the movie could offer a combination of psychological drama and action.
This project is just the first of several that Tom Cruise will produce as part of his new deal with Warner Bros.
