[Cremildo]

Tom Cruise will star in the new feature from The Revenant filmmaker Alejandro Iñárritu, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment are in talks to acquire the package, which marks Iñárritu’s first English-language film since the Leonardo DiCaprio starrer The Revenant nearly a decade ago.

Plot details are being kept under wraps for the feature project that was written by Iñárritu, Sabina Berman, Alexander Dinelaris and Nicolas Giacobone. source

The Tarantino one is just a rumor for now, and likely a small role or cameo.

He should do it anyway, it's his last chance to work with him.

Great news as always but I'm afraid about the status of the space movie with Tom Cruise entitled "Luna Park" directed by Doug Lyman. It was announced years ago...

The four-time Oscar-winning filmmaker’s untitled movie for Warner Bros and Legendary Entertainment counts Sandra Hüller, John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons and Sophie Wilde. Oscar winner Riz Ahmed is in final negotiations to join the cast

Sounds like a good move for both of them. Been wanting Cruise to move away from action and get back to working with auteurs since ever and to get Cruise's interest this must be more narrative driven than whatever Bardo was.

Tom Cruise, Alejandro G. Iñárritu Film at Warner Bros. and Legendary Sets U.K. Shoot (EXCLUSIVE)

While the start date is yet to be confirmed, it could be as early as next month, Variety understands.

The untitled project would be Iñárritu’s first English-language film since “The Revenant.” The film will be produced and directed by Iñárritu, with a script he co-wrote in 2023 with “Birdman” co-writers Nicolas Giacobone and Alexander Dinelaris, along with Sabina Berman. Plot details are still under wraps.

The cast also includes Sandra Hüller, John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons and Sophie Wilde.

This will be Cruise’s first film since signing a deal to develop and produce theatrical films with Warner Bros. Discovery in January. His last project with the studio was “Edge of Tomorrow” a decade ago.

Most recently, Cruise appeared in “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning” and “Top Gun: Maverick.” Cruise’s other upcoming films include the eighth “Mission: Impossible” film for Paramount, as well as an upcoming Universal action movie from Doug Liman that will make him “the first civilian to do a spacewalk” outside the International Space Station.

Iñárritu won back-to-back Academy Awards for directing “Birdman” in 2015 and “The Revenant” in 2016. He followed up those projects with 2017’s “Flesh and Sand” (“Carne y Arena”), a virtual-reality short giving viewers the perspective of migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border with a coyote. The project debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in 2017 and earned a special achievement Oscar in 2018. In 2022, he co-wrote, co-scored, edited, produced and directed “Bardo: False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths,” which earned an Oscar nomination for best cinematography.

The working title is "Judy".

According to Jordan Ruimy, shooting started last month.

I’m being told Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu’s tentatively titled “Judy,” starring Tom Cruise, started filming in November, and just wrapped the first part of production last week. Shooting will resume in January. That’s great news for a potential 2025 release.

I'm so hyped for this movie

[Frank TJ Mackey]

This is my most anticipated movie of 2025, or 2026, whichever year it comes out. No idea how long AGI takes to edit his films. If it takes him a year, I guess it will be 2026, and that probably means LATE 2026. Ugh.
