News The Gauntlet - Remake Tom Cruise

[leeloo]

McQuarrie/Cruise's ‘The Gauntlet' is Happening?​

Last month, rumors were swirling about the film actually being a remake Clint Eastwood’s 1977 thriller, “The Gauntlet,” and that Scarlett Johansson had joined Cruise in the cast. The info was started by two unreliables: MyTimeToShineHello and Giant Freaking Robot. I took it all with a major grain of salt. However, the usually reliable EmpireCity then confirmed it with their own sources, adding that the film was set to shoot in “early 2025”

Now, we have Production List posting the same info with a January 5 production start date. There’s also an IMDb page set up for the film (not that it means much). I’m still not convinced, just yet. Warner Bros hasn’t replied back to my emails, and you would expect a trade to pounce on this news. We’ll see.

McQuarrie/Cruise's ‘The Gauntlet' is Happening? — World of Reel

Filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie has mentioned, a few times, that he and Tom Cruise were going to team-up for a “gnarly” R-rated movie. This project has gained enough traction to have been dubbed by online fans as “The Gnarly Movie.”

Noch ein Remake von dem Film? Fand die Version mit Bruce Willis schon nicht sonderlich gut. Und Cruise ist einfach nicht abgeratzt genug für die Rolle, Eastwood war da perfekt.

Produktionsstart soll schon der 5.Januar sein?
Tom Cruise hat doch erst vor c.a. 10 Tagen die Dreharbeiten zu dem neuen Alejandro G. Iñárritu Film begonnen.
Wie soll denn sowas klappen.

Naja, über einen Monat Zeit für Dreharbeiten nehmen sich heutzutage nicht mehr so viele Filme. Und Inarritu scheint mir vom bisherigen output ein Regisseur zu sein der das, was er zu drehen gedenkt, gut plant. Sollte also hinhauen. Evtl. Nachdrehs kann man ja dazwischenschieben.
