Culture news We had to wait 30 years to find Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise in the same film. It is directed by Quentin Tarantino

The mystery remains complete (or almost) around the tenth and final film directed by the renowned Quentin Tarantino. The filmmaker behind Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dog and the Diptyque Kill Bill prefers to keep the majority of information to himself and his close collaborators. Except for the story of the feature film (and even that is very vague) and the rumors of the start of filming, The Movie Critic is desired. We know that the film will be released in 2025 and that it will tell the life of a film critic who began his career in a pornographic magazine. Only the casting seems incapable of holding its tongue.
After the formalization of Brad Pitt, another internationally renowned actor could join the project. According to our colleagues at The InSneider, Tom Cruise is reportedly in the running to appear on The Movie Critic. However, this information should be taken with a pinch of salt. Nothing has yet been confirmed or denied by the main parties involved, namely the director and the actor. As a reminder, the last face to face on the big screen between Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise dates back to 1994 on Interview with the Vampire directed by Neil Jordan. After 30 years, these two superstars could finally play opposite each other to the delight of moviegoers, provided that Tom Cruise manages to free up time within a particularly busy schedule. Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Roth, Cate Blanchett and even Bruce Willis (some are followers of Quentin Tarantino) would also be part of the adventure.
The end of an era for Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise saved Hollywood and the entire North American film industry in 2022 with Top Gun: Maverick. This action film directed by Joseph Kosinski had collected at the time 1.496 billion US dollars for an estimated budget excluding marketing costs of 170-177 million. The actor brought spectators back to theaters en masse and this feat of arms was praised by Steven Spielberg in person at the Oscar nominees luncheon which took place on February 13, 2023

However, Tom Cruise seems to have lost his luster in 2023. Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning did not meet with the expected success at the cinema. It was even completely obscured by the Barbenheimer phenomenon formed by the films Barbie and Oppenheimer directed respectively by Greta Gerwig and Christopher Nolan. For an estimated budget of 291 million US dollars, Agent Ethan Hunt’s latest adventure had to settle for 567.5 million at the box office. This is a real counter-performance for Tom Cruise who already saw himself at the top of the charts in 2023.
