Los Angeles, CA – Tom Cruise will be starring in a new film directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, known for his work on “The Revenant,” as confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter. This upcoming project will mark Iñárritu’s return to English-language filmmaking since “The Revenant,” which starred Leonardo DiCaprio almost a decade ago.
Plot details for the new feature, written by Iñárritu, Sabina Berman, Alexander Dinelaris, and Nicolas Giacobone, are still being kept under wraps. The collaboration between Cruise and Iñárritu has sparked speculation, especially since Cruise recently signed a deal with Warner Bros., hinting at his desire to work with renowned directors after years of focusing on franchise projects.
Iñárritu, who last directed the Spanish-language Netflix drama “Bardo,” achieved great success with “The Revenant,” grossing over $500 million worldwide and earning him an Academy Award for Best Director. His track record of working with top talent suggests that the pairing with Cruise is likely to result in a prestige project.
Warner Bros. has been actively securing top filmmakers for their upcoming projects, including Ryan Coogler’s next feature and a Paul Thomas Anderson movie with the involvement of Leonardo DiCaprio. Legendary and Warner Bros. are also gearing up for the release of “Dune 2,” the sequel to Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi epic in theaters next weekend.
Cruise, represented by CAA and Greenberg Glusker, and Iñárritu, represented by CAA and Gang Tyre, are set to join forces for what promises to be an intriguing and highly anticipated film. The news of this exciting project was first reported by Deadline.
The collaboration between Tom Cruise and Alejandro G. Iñárritu is a prominent example of the industry’s ongoing trend of uniting A-list talent with acclaimed filmmakers, illustrating the growing demand for high-quality, artistically-driven cinema. Stay tuned for more updates on this compelling partnership and the development of this eagerly awaited project.
