The Warner Bros and Legendary Entertainment movie, starring Tom Cruise and directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, will start filming in the U.K.
The exact start date for Iñárritu's new English-language film, a project he is producing and directing, is yet to be confirmed but may begin next month, as reported by Variety. The script was a collaboration with the writers of "Birdman" and Sabina Berman. Plot details are currently undisclosed.
The ensemble includes Sandra Hüller, John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons, and Sophie Wilde. This is Cruise’s first film under the recent agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery, following their collaboration on "Edge of Tomorrow" a decade ago.
Cruise recently starred in “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning” and “Top Gun: Maverick,” with upcoming projects including the eighth “Mission: Impossible” film and a Universal action movie where he will be the first civilian to do a spacewalk outside the International Space Station. Iñárritu won consecutive Academy Awards for directing “Birdman” in 2015 and “The Revenant” in 2016. He also released “Flesh and Sand” (“Carne y Arena”) in 2017, a virtual-reality short about migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, which premiered at Cannes in 2017 and received 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 was nominated for an Oscar in cinematography.
