Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt are arguably probably the most recognizable film stars on the planet — that was true within the Nineteen Nineties, and it is true now. They final appeared collectively onscreen greater than 30 years in the past in 1994’s “Interview with the Vampire.” Play the six levels of separation sport and there is now one thing else bringing them collectively.
Joseph Kosinski, director of Cruise in “Oblivion” and “High Gun: Maverick,” is the director of Pitt’s newest film, racing drama “F1.” Might Mr. Kosinski carry the 2 stars again collectively?
Chatting with E! Information on the “F1” premiere in Mexico Metropolis on June 9, Pitt was requested about how Cruise has been publicly supporting “F1” (“cannot wait to see that, with Brad”), which Pitt referred to as “so candy.” Requested if he and Cruise would ever star in one other film collectively, Pitt stated this:
“I am not gonna cling my ass off airplanes and s*** like that, so when [Cruise] does one thing once more that is on the bottom.”
Pitt is after all referring to Cruise’s status for doing his personal stunts, notably within the “Mission: Not possible” motion pictures. This 12 months’s “Mission: Not possible – The Ultimate Reckoning” does certainly function Ethan Hunt (Cruise) hanging onto a mid-flight biplane.
“The Ultimate Reckoning” finally left the door open for a “Mission: Not possible 9,” however nonetheless, Cruise turns 63 this July. Can he actually preserve doing motion motion pictures? There’s been hypothesis that as Cruise enters his twilight years, he might shift again to extra dramatic roles (he performed a lot of these within the ’90s keep in mind). For what it is value, Cruise’s go-to director Christopher McQuarrie stated in 2018 (when “Mission: Not possible – Fallout” launched) that he needed to return to creating smaller motion pictures. Might he carry Cruise with him?
Is Tom Cruise showing in Quentin Tarantino’s subsequent Cliff Sales space film with Brad Pitt?
In his E! interview, Pitt wistfully referred to the “go-kart racing days” he shared with Cruise whereas making “Interview with the Vampire.” It has been reported over time that Pitt and Cruise aren’t probably the most pleasant with one another. Pitt has stated he was “depressing” making “Interview with the Vampire” and he is additionally stated that he and Cruise did not fairly gel collectively. Even now, Pitt describing Cruise’s devoted stunt work as “[hanging his] ass off airplanes” can learn as a backhanded praise.
However there might be hope but. When Quentin Tarantino was growing his now-abandoned venture “The Film Critic,” he was planning to carry Pitt again as Cliff Sales space, his disgraced (and presumably spouse killing) stuntman from 2019’s “As soon as Upon A Time In Hollywood.” It is now believed that this venture has developed into a brand new film at Netflix, starring Pitt as Cliff, written by Tarantino, and directed by Pitt’s frequent director David Fincher. The rumored title is “The Persevering with Adventures of Cliff Sales space.”
What does this should do with Tom Cruise? Again when “Cliff Sales space” was (apparently) nonetheless “The Film Critic,” Jeff Sneider reported that Cruise was up for a cameo position within the film. Might that also carry over into “Cliff Sales space”? If it is just a cameo, there’s most likely no room for Cruise to journey any airplanes from the surface, in any case.
“F1” opens in theaters on June 27, 2025.
