Tom Cruise Is Reportedly "Very Serious" About Making a Les Grossman Film
Summary
Tropic Thunderfans might just be in for a Impossible – The Final Reckoningdirector Christopher McQuarrie shared thatTom Cruiseis seriously thinking about doing a film on his character Les Grossman.
Speaking on Josh Horowitz'sHappy Sad Confusedpodcast, the director shared that Cruise and himself have had real discussions regarding making a standalone Les Grossman movie. McQuarrie said, 'The conversations we've had about Les Grossman are so f**king funny. [Cruise and I are] talking about it, we're having very serious conversations about it, and how best to do it. It ultimately comes down to what that character is.'
Les Grossman fans may remember him as the mouthy, antagonistic producer who had quite the temper and infamous for his giant hands. McQuarrie also shared that thinking about the Les Grossman film allowed himself and Cruise to escape the filming of theFinal Reckoning, 'We don't even think about the structure, we play with scenes. Just to be sitting at a breakfast table, not talking about the movie we're making for a minute, is such decompression. And just riffing with Tom playing Les Grossman at the table, it was one of the real joys of making this movie. It was all the stuff we were doing, planning the future while slugging out the present.'
It remains to be seen if this film will come true.
