We have some exciting news for movie fans! After years of speculation and development stops and starts, it looks like Tom Cruise is officially attached to star in Doug Liman's supernatural thriller, Deeper.

This much-anticipated project is finally moving forward, and we can't wait to see what's in store.

Years in Development

Deeper has been in the works for nearly eight years, with multiple attempts to get the project off the ground. Initially, MGM Studios purchased the rights to the story from writer Max Landis in 2016, and the film was slated to star Bradley Cooper with director Kornél Mundruczó at the helm. However, both Cooper and Mundruczó eventually left the project, and the film stalled.

Despite the setbacks, the film found new life with Idris Elba and director Baltasar Kormákur briefly attached to the project. Unfortunately, the film was put on ice again, but this time it's found a new home at Warner Bros. with Doug Liman directing and Tom Cruise as the lead.

The Plot of *Deeper*

The film follows an astronaut who uncovers a terrifying force during an expedition into a previously unexplored trench. The concept promises to deliver the kind of tense, edge-of-your-seat thrills that we've come to expect from a Doug Liman and Tom Cruise collaboration. We're excited to see how this blend of science fiction and supernatural horror unfolds on the big screen.

A Longstanding Collaboration Between Cruise and Liman

This marks the fourth time Tom Cruise and Doug Liman will be working together. The pair first collaborated on the 2014 hit Edge of Tomorrow, a film that combined action, time loops, and alien invasions in a fresh and thrilling way. Following their success, they teamed up again for American Dream and are currently in talks to make a NASA-themed film.

Their longstanding partnership has proven to be incredibly successful, and we are eager to see what new creative heights they'll reach with Deeper. Fans of both the director and the star can expect intense action and emotional depth in their latest collaboration.

Is a Sequel to *Edge of Tomorrow* Still Possible?

While fans are eagerly awaiting Deeper, many are still holding out hope for a sequel to Edge of Tomorrow. Doug Liman recently revealed that he's been working on a follow-up titled Live Die Repeat and Repeat, although updates on the project have been scarce. The director emphasized that he wouldn't move forward with the sequel unless he could make the story even better than the original.

Liman admitted that he's been rewatching the first film with Tom Cruise, as well as with the studio and co-star Emily Blunt, in an effort to find the right way to move forward. We're holding out hope that a Edge of Tomorrow sequel will eventually come to fruition – but only if it surpasses the first film's excellence.

Looking Ahead

With Deeper finally moving ahead, it's clear that Doug Liman and Tom Cruise are continuing their successful creative journey. Whether or not we'll get a Edge of Tomorrow sequel remains to be seen, but for now, we can look forward to this thrilling new project. Deeper is shaping up to be a must-watch, combining the expertise of two Hollywood powerhouses in an ambitious, high-stakes supernatural thriller. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project!
