The film legends have worked together in the past, however, to this day, Spielberg refuses to share with Cruise.
Steven Spielberg is one of the most talented filmmakers today, some even say that he has left a mark in the history of cinema. In this great career, he has directed and produced various films such as 'Jaws', 'Jurassic Park', 'Schindler's List', and 'And Saving Private Ryan', among others. Thanks to the success of his films, he has won various awards in the field.
On the other hand, Tom Cruise is one of the best actors in Hollywood, who is characterized by playing roles that require professional training, sometimes extreme, but always requiring great effort and dedication. He has worked in films such as 'Mission Impossible', 'Top Gun: Maverik', 'And The Color of Money, among others. On some occasions, he has joined forces with other Hollywood heavyweights and has participated in films with Spielberg.
In 2002 was the first time they worked together in the film 'Minority Report' known as 'Sentencia Previa'. The film tells the story of a police officer who has a few hours to prove his innocence in a crime they have predicted he will commit in the future. Actors such as Samantha Morton, Colin Farrell, Kathryn Morris, and Neal McDonough also participated in this film. Such was the success that Tom and Steven decided to commit to a new collaboration and a few years later they joined forces again on a project.
In 2005 they participated in 'The War of the Worlds' based on the 1898 science fiction novel by H. G. Wells, which describes how a man tries to save his family during a chaotic alien invasion. Dakota Fanning, Justin Chatwin, and Tom Robbins, among others, participated in this project. This film had a great reception from the public, however on occasions in the past Spielberg made it clear that he would no longer work with the protagonist of 'Top Gun'.
According to him, they had various experiences, and the disagreements they had ruined the relationship between them. But what bothered the director and producer the most was that during one of the films Cruise hired his own sister to organize his advertising campaign. However, when the final moment came to make it, the actors did not collaborate as expected to spread the film. Because of this Steven became very upset and decided to never work with him again.
