This is a first, Tom Cruise could give into horror

Tom Cruise is preparing to say goodbye to Ethan Hunt. After 28 years of good and loyal service, the spy will bow out at the cinema in 2025. Still under the leadership of Christopher McQuarrie, this new part is widely presented as a (deadly?) conclusion to the adventures of the character born in front of the camera by Brian de Palma and adapted from the eponymous series. But Cruise, who celebrated his 62nd birthday this year, has no plans to retire yet. He has many projects on the go, including a trip to space. In addition to this unique proposal, the American actor could soon immerse himself in the world of diving. During an interview with the magazine Showbiz411director Doug Liman said he was developing a horror film starring Cruise. It would be, in his own words,'a “scary” proposition. “I’ve never done one, neither has Tom Cruise” adds the director of Road House and Edge of Tomorrow.

If he did not expand on the scenario, an article from World of Reel explains the ins and outs of this new adventure called Deeper. According to information from the American media, the project has been in development for a decade at Warner Bros. The narrative is expected to evolve around a disgraced astronaut who goes on a scuba diving trip to explore a recently discovered pit. In the depths, he will be confronted with a sinister and dangerous force. If this is Cruise's first time exploring the horror genrehe has already made some forays into fantasy. In 2017, he was featured in The Mummyyet another remake of an iconic film from Universal's monster universe. The project created by Alex Kurtzman was intended to be frightening, but the knobs were far from being on full blast. We can hope that this new proposal, which has no release date, will be a a real opportunity to confront terror.

Four collaborations for the two men

This isn't the first time Cruise has collaborated with Doug Liman. The two men met on the set ofEdge of Tomorrow in 2014. The actor likes to surround himself with filmmakers he knows, he appeared in Barry Seal : American Traffic in 2017. Deeper would thus be the third joint project of Liman and Cruise. A fourth should see the light of day soon, it is particularly anticipated. According to World of Reelthe film to be shot in space is still in the pipeline. In collaboration with NASA, it will mark a great first for the film industry, which has never before dared to venture beyond the atmosphere. The release date remains a mystery, such a film requiring careful organization. Waiting for, Mission : Impossible – Final Reckoning arrives in cinemas next May 21.
