I heard the reason for that was he was looking for "serendipity", for those takes where the acting ceased to be acting or had some special quality which could only come out by accident after hundreds of tries.

I've heard that too, but in the Shining BTS footage I've seen she was making mistakes or arguing with Kubrick over how she should act in a scene. That's bound to create problems with Kubrick.

 

[DeepEnigma]

That would be "the digger". This is just digger.

Cruise is fun as a cool guy in action films like Mission Impossible and Top Gun but I'm looking forward to seeing him let loose and embrace being a weird guy again.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

So, I still know nothing about the movie after watching that trailer, exept that Tom Criuse is in it. I'm not seeing it just because a good actor is in it, that goes for a lot of films.

What I always heard/read was that he purposely treated her like shit on the set in order to break her mentally and get exactly what he wanted out of her performance. If that's the case, then it certainly worked.

And Keitel told Kubrick "You're out of your fucking mind" before he stormed off set after like the 90th take. And it was just of him opening and walking through a door

Maybe he should've opened the door like he was told to then

Looks more like it was an ego problem

 

[ADiTAR]

No interview with a vampire?

I don't know the details, but I agree with Harvey Keitel's statement about him having a sense of his own worth. There is no reason to stay in a situation that you find disrespectful just because of the reputation of the director.

He sounds like a criminal talking about disrespect, someone with ego problems who can't handle being a professional or taking orders so he crashed out.

It was part of the montage. I'll edit the comment with the timestamp.

Thanks, I guess I blinked at that moment.

Unsure how legit this is btw

Thats not makeup.

He looks like Matthew Modine

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Unsure how legit this is btw

Isn't that from one of the Mission Impossible movies? Wanna say the first one.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Yeah that's from the Mission Impossible movie where they break into KFC headquarters to learn the secret 11 original herbs and spices.

I don't know, I take it as him not being willing to put up with Kubrick's idiosyncrasies that other actors would simply because of who the director was. I know he had an issue with Coppola and was fired from Apocalypse Now. Maybe he just doesn't work well with the New Hollywood era directors.

So there was a really weird trailer for this movie before Supergirl.

It showed clips from virtually EVERY Tom Cruise movie in existence (except The Mummy, of course) and felt like it went on for minutes..... and then the last 30 seconds is a teaser trailer for Digger. Wtf?

Edit: oh wait someone posted the trailer earlier in the thread lol

 

[near]

A new trailer should be dropping soon.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Bro looks like he's in his mid to late 30s from a distance.

Update, new trailer confirmed for tomorrow 6am PT:

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Give me a reason to walk into the theater with my hard earned, Tommy-boy!

Good actor and a good ass director. Birdman is my THE favourite movie of all times.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Bro looks like he's in his mid to late 30s from a distance.

...But when you get up close you can see some evidence of things being done to make that happen.

I hope he doesn't get sucked into a plastic surgery hole and end up looking strange.

Did Tom Cruise agent write that copy?

 

[roosnam1980]

 

[KyoZz]

Damn, this looks AMAZING!!!

Fells a bit like Don't Look Up, which I don't mind at all. Really, really excited.

 

[AJUMP23]

Will watch after my meeting.

 

[John Bilbo]

Looks like it could be worth going to the cinema.

 

[Boo Who?]

This looks incredible!

 

[Hideous Snake]

Definitely going to watch this

 

[AJUMP23]

Looks weird.

 

[near]

Film of the year confirmed.

 

[calistan]

Tom Cruise going for a belated Oscar here - spending four hours a day in makeup just to look his age.

 

[Billbofet]

Looks fucking awesome

 

[Salz01]

Looks different. I want to see it.

Tom Cruise going for a belated Oscar here

This is Inarritu's Birdman successor, and we all know how well that did at the Oscars.

 

[Robot Carnival]

this looks bat shit insane in the best possible way. very Dr. Strangelove vibe too. should be a fun ride.

 

[AJUMP23]

I didn't like the cat stuff. Just seemed very weird cat work.

 

[near]

 

[DeepEnigma]

Poor kitty, lol.

Anyone who's had to hospice their beloved senior kitties can relate. It did give me a chuckle though due to that, and shows I can find relatable humor in it now.

 

[EviLore]

As weird as promised. Will watch.

 

[IntentionalPun]

That looks pretty terrible to me but it's Inarritu so I'll check it out. But hot take, Cruise looks bad bad.

Not sure I share the same sense of humor as Inarritu though.

 

[squallheart]

He's a what

Will watch looks interesting.

 

[lachesis]

I love the art direction, so I'm definitely going to watch - but I think I should watch on streaming platform so that I can get some subtitle/context with it.
