Rumored earlier this Summer, filmmaker Doug Liman has confirmed he’ll re-team with his “Edge of Tomorrow” and “American Made” star Tom Cruise for the supernatural thriller “Deeper” at Warner Bros. Pictures.
Appearing at a screening of the documentary “Gaucho Gaucho,” Liman indicated to Showbiz411 that he and Cruise are moving forward with their ‘scary’ movie, adding: “I have never done one, and neither has Tom Cruise.”
The supernatural thriller was originally penned by Max Landis and has been floating around Hollywood for a decade. At one time filmmaker Baltasar Kormakur was attached to direct.
The story follows a disgraced former astronaut hired to take a submersible to the deepest part of the ocean to explore a newly discovered trench. Supernatural events transpire as the vehicle gets closer to its destination and he is confronted by a sinister and dangerous force.
Cruise recently finished filming “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” and is currently shooting Alejandro González Iñárritu’s “Judy”. He’s expected to do a publicity tour for that final ‘Mission’ film in April/May and then film Chris McQuarrie’s “Broadsword” in the back half of 2025.
Cruise and Liman still have a space-set NASA movie in active development but it’s not clear how far that’s progressed.
