The cast for Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s next film is taking shape with some of Hollywood’s finest joining Tom Cruise in the cast.
Last we heard about Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s next film was in February when Tom Cruise was attached to star.
Now, Deadline reports that the film’s cast has gotten significantly bigger. Sandra Hüller, John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons and Sophie Wilde are all on board The Revenant director’s new film. Riz Ahmed is also in the final stages of negotiations to join the cast. That’s a lot of star power and it has certainly caught our attention.
Hüller’s career has really taken off since her Oscar nomination for the tremendous Anatomy Of A Fall and it’s great to see a young star such as Wilde in the cast. Wilde was seen in Talk To Me, one of last year’s finest horror films.
The still untitled film will be directed and produced by Iñárritu. He also co-wrote the script with Sabina Berman, Alexander Dinelaris, and Nicolas Giacobone. The film will follow the most powerful man in the world who causes a disaster and embarks on a mission to prove he is humanity’s saviour. So, it’s a documentary, then? We can think of a few people the plot might take inspiration from, but we won’t name and shame.
There’s no info on what characters the actors are playing, but we bet Cruise will play the powerful man at the centre of the plot. There’s also no release window for the film yet, but Warner Bros is backing the film with Legendary Pictures, so it would make sense for Warner Bros to also distribute the film.
We’ll bring you more on Iñárritu’s next film as we hear it.
