Icons Unearthed- Tom Cruise Creator On Exploring The Movie Star’s Personal & Professional Lives
Vice TV and The Nacelle Company’s Icons Unearthed series steps away from film and TV franchises for the first time with Icons Unearthed: Tom Cruise. Instead of exploring well-known properties like Star Wars, The Simpsons, and Marvel, Icons Unearthed: Tom Cruise charts the rise of one of the world’s biggest movie stars.
Brian Volk-Weiss Reveals The Impetus & Thought Process Behind Icons Unearthed: Tom Cruise “This Was The First Time We Covered A Human And Not A Franchise” Screen Rant: When I interviewed you for Icons Unearthed: Star Wars , you told me you would love to make an Icons Unearthed: Tom Cruise one day. How long have you been working on this idea and trying to make it come together?
Then, this was the first time we covered a human and not a franchise, so there were different rules we had to follow. What we tried to do with Tom Cruise is break him down into sections of his life. There’s the guy who comes to Hollywood and ends up dominating—that’s section one. Section two is about how Tom Cruise decided he wanted to win Oscars, which he never did as an actor, so you can’t do that section without talking about Rain Man.
Brian Volk-Weiss: I don’t think you can do something like this without talking about his personal life, because the personal life affected his career. He and Spielberg didn't talk for, I think, 20 years after the Oprah couch thing. Spielberg said War of the Worlds would've done another 50 million had he not done that. His personal life with Scientology and his various marriages are a part of who he is.
And he really took care of people. This is obviously in the doc, but we interviewed Jay Mohr Jerry McGuire episode. Tom Cruise is doing a scene with Jay, it’s Jay’s scene, and Tom is just standing there so they could do the scene together. All Tom has to do is just stand there and do nothing, while Jay is saying his lines, Tom Cruise, under the frame of the camera, is , telling him where to stand so he looks his best.
