Tom Cruise’s ambitious underwater thriller ‘Deeper’ has hit a major roadblock. The project, which was initially estimated to cost $200 million, has ballooned to a whopping $275 million, causing Warner Bros. Pictures to refuse to greenlight the film. With a tight budget and no backing, the future of ‘Deeper’ looks uncertain.
Tom Cruise and Doug Liman’s Movie Stalls
The film, which was set to star Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas, was meant to be a supernatural action thriller about a disgraced astronaut who embarks on a deep-sea mission to explore a recently discovered ocean trench. However, with the project’s budget spiraling out of control, it’s unclear whether the film will ever make it to the big screen.
Final Thoughts
Director Doug Liman is now reportedly looking for other projects to work on, while Universal Pictures, which was rumored to be a potential buyer, has yet to receive a pitch for the film. With no clear solution in sight, it seems that ‘Deeper’ may have hit a wall and may not be able to recover.
