Joseph Kosinski on mastering the TopGunMaverick aesthetic, 'You can ride your ninja without a helmet in this world, the sun is always setting, everyone is always dewy with sweat.'
’s first meeting with Tom Cruise about directing a sequel to the 1986 blockbuster “Top Gun” was in 2017. Five years later, “Top Gun: Maverick” finally opened, after the pandemic led Paramount to delay its 2020 release until May of this year, when it could play to a global theatrical audience — and did it ever, earning nearly $1.5 billion worldwide.
By contrast, “Glass Onion,” writer-director Rian Johnson’s sequel to 2019’s “Knives Out,” came together quickly after Netflix snapped up the rights to the murder mystery franchise, starring Daniel Craig as detective Benoit Blanc. The original was a theatrical sensation, but Netflix released “Glass Onion” in around 600 theaters for a seven-day run over the Thanksgiving holiday; its streaming debut is Dec. 23.
The filmmakers, both 48, talk about working with their A-list stars — including a touching scene in “Top Gun: Maverick” between Cruise and Val Kilmer, who lost the use of much of his voice due to throat cancer — the complex logistics of crafting a crowd-pleasing blockbuster, and their shared perspective on the so-called rivalry between theaters and streaming.I did improv classes in college.No, I wanted to. I thought it was really fun — and terrifying in a fun way.
You’ve got a movie that’s both — it did a week in theaters, and it’s going to Netflix very soon. How has that experience been for you? Honestly, the experience has been great. Even though it was a limited release, they went full in on that release. Netflix engaged with the big movie chains, with AMC, Regal, Cinemark, and the theaters were packed. I want more theaters. I want longer time. And I want it to do great when it comes out on Netflix.
