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

As a long-time aficionado of cinema, the news about Tom Cruise’s upcoming film, directed by the brilliant Alejandro González Iñárritu, has sent shivers of excitement down my spine! With this project, Iñárritu returns to English-language films after “The Revenant,” and as a fan who has admired his work since “Birdman,” I can’t help but feel like the luckiest moviegoer on Earth!


The upcoming Tom Cruise movie, produced by Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment, with direction by Alejandro González Iñárritu, is set to begin filming in the United Kingdom.

EbMaster has learned that the start date may not be set just yet, but it might be as soon as next month.

The project, yet to be named, marks Alejandro González Iñárritu’s return to English-language filmmaking since “The Revenant.” He will both produce and direct the upcoming movie, which he co-wrote in 2023 with his collaborators from “Birdman,” Nicolas Giacobone and Alexander Dinelaris, as well as Sabina Berman. The storyline remains a secret for now.

Besides Timothée Chalamet, the ensemble features Sandra Hüller, John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons, and Sophie Wilde as well.

This marks Cruise’s debut film production under his deal with Warner Bros. Discovery, which he signed in January. His previous collaboration with the studio was “Edge of Tomorrow,” produced over a decade ago.

More recently, Tom Cruise has been seen in “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning” and “Top Gun: Maverick.” Coming up, he’s set to star in another installment of “Mission: Impossible” for Paramount, as well as a Universal action movie directed by Doug Liman, which will have him performing a spacewalk outside the International Space Station, making him the first civilian to do so.

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.

Cruise and Iñárritu are both represented by CAA.
