Mission: Impossible? Tom Cruise & Brad Pitt's Surprising Sequel Dream
BREAKING: Director Joseph Kosinski Spills Tea on Unlikely Crossover Movie Starring Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise
In a shocking revelation, renowned director Joseph Kosinski has expressed his fervent desire to bring together two Hollywood A-listers, Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, in an unprecedented crossover movie. The 51-year-old director's brainchild would unite the worlds of Formula One (F1) and NASCAR, featuring iconic racing drivers Sonny Hayes from F1 and Cole Trickle from Days of Thunder.
In an exclusive interview with Collider, Kosinski let slip that he had casually floated the idea to a reporter, who couldn't help but ask: "If you could make a movie with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, what would it be?" Without hesitation, Kosinski shared his dream project, saying: "I just thought that would be a really great story, but probably impossible to make. Talk about Mission: Impossible – that would be a tricky, tricky film to pull off!"
This isn't the first time Kosinski has shown interest in collaborating with both actors. In fact, he had been developing a racing film called Go Like Hell (which eventually became Ford v Ferrari) with both Pitt and Cruise attached to star. The project underwent a script read-through at Tom's house, where the three of them came together to bring the story to life.
The Top Gun: Maverick director fondly reminisced about the experience: "That was pretty surreal." He also credited Cruise for his kindness in attending the F1 premiere in London, stating it was a chance to see the two actors together again. When asked if he thought the unlikely crossover movie could happen, Kosinski diplomatically replied: "It would be amazing if we could figure out a way to get them both in the same film."
F1's recent success at the box office has undoubtedly been a highlight of Kosinski's year. As the highest-grossing movie of Pitt's career, the director expressed his gratitude and relief that the film has resonated with audiences worldwide: "Anytime a film works, it's just a sigh of relief... You never know what's going to happen."
Kosinski believes F1's triumph is a testament to the power of original storytelling in the movie industry. He championed the film as an 'original' story that stands out from sequels and reboots: "It's not a sequel, it's not a reboot... It's just an original film." In a refreshing change of pace, F1 has managed to carve its own niche in a summer filled with superhero blockbusters.
As the film industry continues to evolve, Kosinski emphasizes the importance of having a diverse slate of movies: "We want original movies, we want sequels, we want reboots... We want it all." With his ambitious plans for an F1-NASCAR crossover movie still on the table, fans can only speculate about what's next from this talented director.
