News culture We had to wait 30 years before we found Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise in the same film. Directed by Quentin Tarantino
Two of Hollywood’s most famous actors will reunite on the set of Quentin Tarantino’s next film. After the duo of Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio in “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood”, the duo of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise is reforming 30 years after “Interview with the Vampire”.
30 years after the interview with the vampire
The mystery surrounding the tenth and final film by the famous Quentin Tarantino remains (or almost) complete. The filmmaker behind Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dog and Diptyque Kill Bill prefers to keep most information to himself and his close collaborators. Aside from the story of the feature (and even that is very vague) and the rumors about when filming will begin, The Movie Critic is welcome.
After the formalization of Brad Pitt, another internationally known actor could join the project. According to our colleagues from The InSneider, Tom Cruise is reportedly in the running for an appearance on The Movie Critic. However, this information should be treated with caution. The main participants, namely the director and the actor, have not yet been confirmed or denied. As a reminder, the last face-to-face meeting between Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise on screen took place in 1994’s Interview with a Vampire, directed by Neil Jordan. After 30 years, these two superstars were finally able to compete against each other, to the delight of moviegoers
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 Joseph Kosinski-directed action film had collected $1.496 billion at the time, against an estimated budget excluding marketing costs of $170-177 million. The actor brought audiences back to theaters en masse and this feat of weaponry was praised by Steven Spielberg in person at the Oscar nominees luncheon held on February 13, 2023

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