Tom Cruise is a talented Hollywood actor who has starred in more than 40 films. He has starred in many big films, and perhaps the most memorable one is Top Gun. You could say Top Gun became the film that boosted Tom Cruise's popularity, because after starring in the film, Tom Cruise received offers to appear more in major Hollywood films. But geeks, there are facts that are rarely known by loyal Tom Cruise fans. Apparently, there are several Tom Cruise films that have never been made. What films have been cancelled?
Fox Version of Iron Man
In the 90s, Universal sold the Iron Man rights to 20th Century Studios. And after getting the rights to the character, 20th Century Studios immediately stepped on the gas to make the Iron Man film. At that time, they were eyeing actor Tom Cruise to play the main character. They have also tapped Jeff Vintar and Stan Lee to write the script. However this film was cancelled. Never heard of a reason why 20th Century Studios canceled this film. Even though this film was originally going to be about Tony Stark dealing with MODOK.
The Mummy 2
The Mummy 2 is a film that was prepared as a sequel to The Mummy, which is part of the Dark Universe, a universe owned by Universal featuring many classic monsters. But after the first film starring Tom Cruise failed miserably, Universal then canceled the sequel. Though Tom Cruise has been prepared to return to appear in the film. Yep, the first film did get negative reviews, both from general audiences and critics. On top of that, the film also failed to shine at the box office, so it makes sense that Universal canceled The Mummy 2 and ended the Dark Universe.
At the Mountains of Madness
In the past, maybe this film was very popular because it would feature Tom Cruise as the main character. This film was going to tell a group of explorers who try to uncover a dark secret under the ice of Antarctica. Guillermo Del Toro has spent six years developing this film, and is preparing to start production in 2011. However, because the story presented was considered less interesting, and the R-Rated rating offered, in the end Universal canceled this film. At that time, Universal was also developing The Thing Remake, so At the Mountains of Madness seemed to be outmatched by that film.
The Vampire Lestat
After successfully working on the film Interview With a Vampire in 1994, Neil Jordan intends to continue the film with a sequel. Jordan has also re-appointed Tom Cruise to star in the sequel. According to Jordan, he has already prepared the script for the film, which is adapted from the follow-up novel by Anne Rice, and is set in 17th century France. However, after seeing the script, Cruise was no longer interested in playing Lestat. And in the end, the sequel to this film was canceled and fans couldn't see the continuation of Lestat's story.
Selling Time
Selling Time is a thriller film that has been prepared since 2006. Reported by Empire, Selling Time tells about the main character who is offered the opportunity to repeat his bad day. And in exchange, he had to sell part of his life. Maybe this film is very similar to Repo Men and Edge of Tomorrow, but with additional thriller and supernatural elements. But unfortunately this film was canceled, and we can't see Tom Cruise's appearance. It is not known exactly what made 20th Century Studios cancel making this film.
Those are geeks, some of the Tom Cruise films that were canceled. Maybe some fans already know some of these films, while some films like Selling Time and At the Mountains of Madness may sound foreign to your ears.
