EXCLUSIVE: Alejandro G. Iñàrritu’s movie with Tom Cruise has assembled a murderers’ row cast. The four-time Oscar-winning filmmaker’s untitled movie for Warner Bros and Legendary Entertainment counts Oscar-nominated Anatomy of a Fall actress Sandra Hüller, Emmy winner John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, Oscar nominee Jesse Plemons and Talk to Me actress Sophie Wilde. Oscar winner Riz Ahmed is in final negotiations to join the cast.
Deadline first told you back in February that Cruise was starring and he’s also producing the latest feature project from The Revenant and Birdman filmmaker. The Mission: Impossible franchise star, you’ll remember, has a strategic movie partnership at the Burbank lot.
Iñàrritu co-wrote the 2023 screenplay with Sabina Berman, Alexander Dinelaris and Nicolas Giacobone. The logline as we know it centers on the most powerful man in the world, who embarks on a frantic mission to prove he is humanity’s savior before the disaster he’s unleashed destroys everything.
Hüller not only received a Best Actress Oscar nom for the Cannes Palme d’Or-winning Anatomy of a Fall but also a Golden Globe nom and a César Best Actress. Anatomy of a Fall won an Oscar for Justine Triet and Arthur Harari’s screenplay. Up next for the UTA-repped Hüller is the Ryan Gosling/Lord Miller feature Project Hail Mary at Amazon MGM Studios; Markus Schleinzer’s period drama Rose; and the Kent Jones-directed Late Fame, in which she stars with Willem Dafoe.
Stuhlbarg is a two-time Emmy nominee for Dopesick and The Looming Tower. His credits also include The Instigators, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Bones and All, The Serious Man, The Shape of Water and Boardwalk Empire. The actor is repped by CAA, Viking Entertainment and Hansen Jacobson Teller.
Plemons just won Best Actor at Cannes for Yorgos Lanthimos’ Kinds of Kindness. He co-starred in the Oscar-nominated Killers of the Flower Moon and was a Supporting Actor Oscar nominee for The Power of the Dog. He’s a three-time Emmy nominee for Fargo, Black Mirror and Love & Death. The actor is repped by TalentWorks and Hirsch Wallerstein Hayum.
Wilde starred in Talk to Me, Everything Now and miniseries Boy Swallows Universe. She is repped by Hamilton Hodell in the UK, WME Agency in the U.S and IMC Talent in Australia.
Ahmed won an Oscar for the short live-action film The Long Goodbye and was nominated for Best Actor for 2021’s Sound of Metal. His feature credits include Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Fingernails and the upcoming David Mackenzie-directed thriller Relay, which will have it world premiere at TIFF. Ahmed won an Emmy for Best Actor in a Limited Series for The Night Of. He is repped by WME and Gang Tyre Ramer.
