Tom Cruise nearly signed up for a Western romance film that he would have co-starred in with Reese Witherspoon.
The Big Picture Any discussions about Tom Cruise being “past his prime” are completely ridiculous, as Cruise has proven time and time again why he’s the biggest movie star on the planet. The combined critical and box office success of Top Gun: Maverick and the last few installments within the Mission: Impossible franchise have proven that Cruise is still an immediate box office draw for audiences across the globe.
It had been a rough few years for Cruise. In the aftermath of Mission: Impossible III, Cruise attempted to reestablish himself as a dramatic actor with Robert Redford’s political drama Lions and Lambs and Bryan Singer’s World War II thriller Valkyrie. Both films fell flat, indicating that Cruise didn’t quite have the capability to break into any serious award season conversations at this time.
'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol' Was a Box Office Hit Given that Cruise had failed in just about every genre, signing up for an exciting script alongside a star like Witherspoon would have been a great way for him to show off his versatility. However, no one could anticipate just how successful Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol would be when it hit theaters in December.
