Tom Cruise Reuniting With Edge of Tomorrow Director (And It’s for a Horror Movie)

As a film enthusiast with over three decades of watching Tom Cruise dominate the silver screen, I can confidently say that the news of his upcoming horror movie, “Deeper,” has left me both exhilarated and intrigued. The man who made us believe in impossible missions, Maverick’s return, and the indomitable Ethan Hunt, is about to tread into the unknown realms of fear and suspense.

Tom Cruise will team up once more with director Doug Liman, known for “Edge of Tomorrow” and “American Made”, in a fresh horror production. Unlike many actors, Tom Cruise is deeply engaged in all his films, not just appearing on set, reading lines, then leaving. He produces and designs several of his movies, giving him a unique level of creative control that few other stars possess. This means that many of his films take considerable time to produce. For instance, the sequel to “Top Gun”, titled “Top Gun: Maverick”, was in development for over 30 years because Cruise refused to proceed with it unless the plot was perfect and the technology was available to execute his vision.

Since 2020, he’s been working on two sequels to the Mission: Impossible series, with the first one hitting theaters in 2023. The upcoming movie, titled “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning,” unveiled its trailer this month and is set to premiere in May 2025. This film is widely anticipated as potentially the last Mission: Impossible movie featuring Tom Cruise in a main role, implying that after more than a decade of action-packed films such as Jack Reacher and Mission: Impossible, he will have an opportunity to explore various other types of projects.

It appears that Tom Cruise might be branching out into a new, terrifying genre for himself: horror. According to Showbiz 411, director Doug Liman (known for “Edge of Tomorrow”) confirmed during a recent Q&A that Cruise will star in his upcoming film, titled “Deeper”. This movie is about an astronaut who encounters a sinister, seemingly supernatural threat while exploring the depths of a deep-sea trench. Interestingly, Liman has never directed a horror film before, and neither has Cruise. While Cruise has previously dabbled in horror with “Interview with the Vampire”, “Deeper” promises to be a different kind of terror altogether.

There’s not much more information available, but the project has been in the works for approximately ten years, starting from a script penned by Max Landis. Over time, various individuals have been associated with it, among them Idris Elba. It appears this could be the group that ultimately brings it to life on the cinema screen.

I was thrilled to learn that I, along with Doug Liman, am involved in a movie project that aims to be one of the first films ever filmed in space. Back in 2022, Universal Pictures’ Donna Langley shared that the story would primarily unfold on Earth, focusing on my character’s journey to space to save the day. It looks like SpaceX and NASA will assist me in reaching space for the filming. Although the project was announced in 2020, both myself and Liman have remained hopeful about its production. However, it seems that Deeper might be taking precedence now. Yet, considering I’ll be portraying an astronaut in this film, there’s a chance that this could be the project that sends me to space.

Beyond this, it’s been announced that actor Tom Cruise will collaborate with Alejandro González Iñárritu, director of “The Revenant”, for a new movie about a powerful man claiming to be humanity’s savior before an apocalypse. The film is tentatively scheduled to start production soon, though it remains uncertain if this timeline will hold true. Additionally, there are plans for “Top Gun 3” and a sequel to “Days of Thunder” featuring Tom Cruise. There are also hopes for a follow-up to their collaboration on “Edge of Tomorrow”, but its fate is yet to be determined.
