However, reports suggest that negotiations are underway for Warner Bros. and Legendary to acquire the film, which boasts an original storyline—a refreshing departure from the current trend of sequels and remakes.

Iñárritu, who will both direct and produce the film, collaborated on the script with esteemed writers Sabina Berman, Alexander Dinelaris, and Nicolas Giacobone, all of whom previously worked with him on the critically acclaimed 'Birdman.' Cruise's involvement extends beyond acting, as he is set to produce the project alongside Legendary Entertainment.

For Cruise, this project marks a return to Warner Bros. following his recent partnership announcement. His last collaboration with the studio was the 2014 sci-fi action film 'Edge of Tomorrow.' While discussions are underway regarding potential roles for other actors in the film, details remain undisclosed for now.
