Tom Cruise Looks To Reunite With Doug Liman For Another Sci-Fi Film LUNA PARK
One of the best pieces of advice young filmmakers get is to develop a strong group of collaborators so you'll have people you can work with on new projects whenever something comes up. But that advice doesn't only apply to up-and-comers — Tom Cruise has taken it to heart as well. He's worked with Christopher McQuarrie on Valkyrie, Edge of Tomorrow, Jack Reacher, and Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation, and he's reteaming with his The Last Samurai collaborators for Jack Reacher 2. Cruise has already decided to work with his Edge of Tomorrow director Doug Liman again in a cartel thriller called Mena, and now Variety reports that the duo is teaming up again to develop another sci-fi film called Luna Park.
The story follows "a group of renegade employees who venture to the moon to steal an energy source," which is vague, but good enough to get me interested about it this early in the game. Cruise is looking to star, but is waiting to see how the final draft of the script comes out before fully committing. Andrew Garfield and Chris Evans were reportedly circling lead roles in this project in 2011 before it fell into development hell, but it's been a passion project of Liman's for a while and Cruise's involvement is sure to turn some heads. We'll keep you posted with more as we hear it.
