Warner Bros. Pulls The Plug On Fantasy Film Starring Tom Cruise And Ana De Armas: Budget Too High
The underwater thriller has faced contradictory updates, but now it appears that the project has been completely canceled due to budget disputes.
Last month, we published an article on FilmTotaal about Deeper, a fantasy thriller set underwater featuring action stars Tom Cruise (Mission: Impossible) and Ana de Armas (Ballerina). The film had been receiving conflicting updates.
One source indicated that filming would commence this month, while another source claimed that the film had been paused due to budgetary issues.
Now we have more clarity, as it seems Warner Bros. has removed the movie from its schedule. It indeed revolves around budget disputes. According to Hollywood insider Matthew Belloni (via Puck), Cruise asked for $275 million to make the film. However, the studio found this too high and was unwilling to go above $230 million.
They could not reach a compromise, and now the question remains whether the film will even be made at all. According to Belloni, director Doug Liman (Road House) is already searching for other projects.
Deeper will revolve around a failed astronaut (Cruise) who encounters supernatural forces at the bottom of the ocean.
