As a movie enthusiast who has witnessed the rise and fall of many promising projects over the years, I can’t help but feel a glimmer of hope when I hear that Tom Cruise is teaming up with Doug Liman once again. Their collaboration on Edge of Tomorrow was a breath of fresh air in the action-sci-fi genre, and it’s exciting to think about what they could achieve together in the realm of supernatural horror.
Tom Cruise is teaming up with director Doug Liman once again, but it’s not necessarily for “Edge of Tomorrow 2”. Instead, they are planning a supernatural horror movie together. While Cruise had ventured into family-friendly horror with Universal’s reboot of “The Mummy”, this upcoming project seems to be a more mature and conventional “scary” film for them both.
The movie titled “Deeper,” initially unveiled in 2016, experienced various changes in its directorial and acting personnel over the years, involving notable figures like Idris Elba, Gal Gadot, Kornel Mundruczo, and Baltasar Kormakur. It seemed that the film might remain stuck in development limbo indefinitely, but a deal signed by Tom Cruise with Warner Bros. at the beginning of the year may have rescued it from this fate.
During a screening of the documentary ‘Gaucho Gaucho’, director Liman revealed some intriguing details about his upcoming project with the ‘Mission: Impossible’ star. According to Showbiz 411, Liman hinted that he and Cruise are set to embark on their initial “thrilling” collaboration, an endeavor they have not attempted previously. The director did not provide a specific release date for the film, but we can expect more information in the near future.
What Do We Know About Deeper?
The film “Deeper” was penned by Max Landis, and, as stated by Liman, it follows the genre of a “spiritual mystery-thriller.” The narrative revolves around an astronaut who has fallen from grace, embarking on an expedition to explore a freshly discovered trench, presumed to be Earth’s newest depth. As he delves deeper, his mental stability begins to falter when confronted with an ominous and malevolent entity.
Originally, the screenplay for “Deeper” was bought by MGM for a substantial amount, rumored to be in the millions. If you’re curious about reading it, you can find it at this location. However, after several years passed, there was no development on the movie, and its prospects worsened further when allegations surfaced that Landis had a pattern of abusing women. This led MGM to abandon the script completely, and since then, it has been in a state of uncertainty.
In January, Cruise entered a large agreement to produce original and sequel films for Warner Bros. It’s unclear if this partnership had any influence on the revival of “Deeper“, but with their past successful collaborations, it seems like this project may finally see the light of day in production. Additionally, as Cruise approaches the end of his tenure in the “Mission: Impossible” series, there’s a possibility that he and Liman might move on to that sequel to “Edge of Tomorrow“, which was announced in 2019.
