I'm really glad to see this. Tom Cruise has been playing it too safe for years now, working only in action franchises and only with directors he could exert some measure of control over. Now it looks like he's headed back into working with auteur filmmakers again. Within the first 10 years of his career, he worked with Coppola, Scorcese, Barry Levinson, Ridley Scott, Tony Scott, Curtis Hanson, Oliver Stone and Ron Howard, among others. He needed to challenge himself again and re-elevate his game. There aren't many movie stars left of his caliber.

Knowing that Cruise continues to say nothing about the abuse and human trafficking that goes on within Scientology, I will never support anything he does.
Can't wait to see what movies Tom Cruise stars in, Nick Phillips.

I agree, Nick Phillips! Recently, it's felt like all of his movies are the same because he has so much creative control over them. I'm excited to see him really be challenged in a role.

After saving the theatrical industry with MAVERICK he's gonna revitalize his craft with Inarittu - what a bold and solid move!

I am excited to see Cruise flex his acting chops. He has been rather lazy with just doing action movies, that while enjoyable, are essentially the same character. Let's see if he can pull it off. DiCaprio finally got an Oscar working with Inarritu, perhaps Cruise will finally get one too.

Love Inarritu's work. He, Del Toro and Cuaron have shown us a heightened degree of creativity with their projects over the past several years. This could be a great teaming.

They haven't said what they've done yet, but they're obviously up for a statuette, no doubt about it. What a partnership, a sure shot!

I'll be interested to see if he allows the creative direction of others to remain. I'll be disappointed if he doesn't truly let go.

Agreed Niki H!

100%, Niki H! My biggest concern would be that he resists being directed after so many years of calling the shots.
