Tom Cruise made an impassioned speech about cinemagoing from Rome’s Spanish Steps at the world premiere of “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One.”

“There is a community that we are all part of — different cultures and ways of life, we all join together to enjoy cinema,” said Cruise, dressed in a crisp blue suit and wearing aviator shades. “It’s something that I grew up with, that made me and inspired me to dream and want to travel the world.

Cruise also paid tribute to his “Mission: Impossible” director Christopher McQuarrie, calling the helmer his “creative brother.”

“He’s had a hand in every single film I’ve made over the past 16 years,” Cruise declared. “Uncredited, he wrote ‘Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.” He’s had a hand in editing and writing every single I’ve ever done. He is my creative brother and an exceptional human being.”

Cruise, who reprises his role as Ethan Hunt in Paramount’s latest tentpole, added: “I want to thank Rome and the city. And also we got to film in Venice, which was extraordinary, during some very difficult times in this country. I dreamed to be coming here and [sharing] it with all of you.”

The seventh installment of the “Mission: Impossible” franchise was partly filmed in the Italian capital, where the cobblestoned streets provided the perfect pavement for drifting cars burning rubber in numerous hair-raising chases that are likely to go down in action film history. The Spanish Steps, by the Piazza di Spagna, is the setting of a wild car chase involving a massive Hummer chasing a tiny vintage yellow Fiat 500 driven by Cruise and Hayley Atwell, who are handcuffed.

Cruise came to Italy with director McQuarrie and an ensemble cast of returning talents including Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson and Vanessa Kirby on the red carpet. Franchise newcomers Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff, Shea Whigham and Greg Tarzan Davis were also among those who made the trek to the Eternal City for the launch.

Atwell, who plays thief and agent of chaos Grace, told Variety during a weekend junket that she trained for months on a race track with stunt coordinator Wade Eastwood for her Rome chase. Only after her hardcore training did she arrive in Rome to work alongside Cruise, who was determined to keep the stunts as real as possible.

“I was handcuffed to Tom Cruise, who is in the passenger seat,” Atwell recalled. “Both Wade and Tom said: ‘We want you to go in front of this monument, do some 360 doughnuts, drift in, drift out, dodge cars and keep going.'”

During this feat, Atwell was told that “Tom’s going to be suggesting lines to you [while] he’s going to be acting as Ethan. But he also might give you moments of direction, too. Like: ‘turn left’ or ‘slow down,’” she said.

So Atwell’s challenge, as she was drifting, was to work out: “Is Tom as a producer telling me as Hayley to slow down because something is unsafe? Or is he as Ethan telling Grace to slow down?”

“It was an amazing day,” Atwell noted. After it was over, McQuarrie took her out to lunch and said: ‘Tom put his life in your hands today. That was no small thing,’” she added.

By contrast, Pom Klementieff – who plays the psychopathic villain Paris – didn’t train at all for scenes in which she drives the Hummer in pursuit of the yellow Fiat as it comes darting down the ancient staircase filled with screaming people who are jumping and running.

For Klementieff, the hard part was “not having too much fun doing it,” she said during the junket. “I was trying not to laugh the whole time, because for me it was so funny to be chasing a Fiat [500] … in this crazy Hummer.”

“ I had to tone it down a bit. I had to remember that I’m a villain,” she laughed. But Klementieff also noted “that some of that [irony] is in the movie, of course!”

Paramount’s July 12 U.S. release of “Mission: Impossible 7” – which also shot in England, Abu Dhabi and Norway – was pushed back several times from its original planned 2021 launch date due to pandemic-related setbacks.

In February 2021, the movie was forced to halt production in Italy, days before its planned shoot in Venice, as the country contended with one of the highest COVID death rates in Europe.

“In every city we were in across the world, it was the middle of COVID,” she added. “So it was amazing that they got the system [COVID production protocol] in place — and Tom drove it.”

Giant screens, a gang dressed in the full, black Mission: Impossible look, a red carpet in a semicircle, with Tom Cruise standing at the top of the Spanish Steps in Rome with the entire Piazza di Spagna below him, watching every move and hanging on every word.

Jean-paul vignon, stylish french vocalist and actor, dies at 89, andy cohen says he wishes he had "kept my mouth shut" about kate middleton conspiracies.

Before kicking off his red carpet marathon, in which he seemed determined to greet every single guest, Cruise reminded the crowd of “how important it is to show not only that you can still make movies but also that you can get back to filling theaters after the most difficult time the world, and this art form, has been through.”

Cruise recalled how Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One was shot in Venice and Rome “in full COVID. “It was very important to do that to show everyone that the pandemic was not going to kill cinema,” he said. “I have to thank everyone, with our very strict safety protocols and the help of this country, together we did something extraordinary.”

Looking down from the Spanish Steps, Cruise recalled a scene the film shot in this iconic landmark.

“We turned this wonderful square, for a day, into an open-air set when we shot here and it was fantastic,” he said. “We did it by closing it off to the public, and I admit it’s one of those things that I regularly ask studios for.”

Nearly 61 years old, Cruise has not lost his childlike smile, or, he admits, his youthful ambition. “Ever since I was a child I used to look at the tallest buildings, the skyscrapers, and imagine how to climb them, or even better, how to get down from the top to the ground. Without using ladders, of course, but also without losing my life,” he added. “I think it’s that childhood dream that always pushes me further and makes me face these challenges myself.”

Cruise’s race through downtown Rome, in a vintage yellow Fiat 500, in the new Mission: Impossible seems destined to become part of the collective cinematic imagination. The mad dash between Rione Monti, Via dei Serpenti lapping Colle Oppio, through the streets around Santa Maria Maggiore before taking the less conventional descent down the Trinità dei Monti staircase, skidding to a halt at the bottom of the Spanish Steps. “I love Rome, it’s a wonderful city. I’m completely crazy about it and it’s been great to work here,” he said. “I thank you for welcoming me and how well it has allowed us to work.”

Tom Cruise And Christopher McQuarrie Thank Rome For Helping Pull Off Latest ‘Mission: Impossible’ As Movie World Premieres

By Nancy Tartaglione , Baz Bamigboye

Tom Cruise and director/co-writer Christopher McQuarrie introduced the world premiere of Paramount /Skydance’s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One in Rome on Monday evening. 

Fresh from a stroll up the Spanish Steps in the heart of the city (a car chase in the film takes place on the famous stone staircase and in the Piazza di Spagne), Cruise and McQuarrie took the stage in the Auditorium della Conciliazione and in opening comments thanked “the people of Rome” and the local governments in Rome and Venice.

Cruise, who was indefatigable today in taking time with everyone on the red carpet (so much so the movie screening started later than planned because it was such a big day), recalled what it took to pull off the film.

“Everyone knows when we shot this film here, and what was going on in the world,” he said onstage. And had it not been for every person in the entire community, to work with us — all the way from the restaurants in the streets, the police everyone on the road to government and medical staff — to make sure that we’re all safe and to create what we’re going to create this evening,” he said. “I just want you to know every day we were on the phone and working together to keep everything going to bring work to people, to raise the bar to people. And I want to say that the people came to visit daily to say hello to us and encourage us — it was a very beautiful time.”

With control of the future, and the fate of the world at stake, and dark forces from Ethan’s past closing in, a deadly race around the globe begins. Confronted by a mysterious, all-powerful enemy, Ethan is forced to consider that nothing can matter more than his mission – not even the lives of those he cares about most.

Tom Cruise Spotted in Rome for Filming of 'Mission: Impossible 7' [Video]

Superstar Tom Cruise is in Rome for the filming of “Mission: Impossible 7,” the seventh installment of the famous action spy series, where Cruise plays the role of Ethan Hunt, an agent of the Impossible Missions Force. 

Cruise and co-star Hayley Atwell were spotted filming on the famous Via dei Fori Imperiali, the long boulevard that cuts across the Imperial Fora area, the monumental public squares of ancient Rome, between Piazza Venezia and the Colosseum. 

“The scene revolved around a car chase with a black BMW M5 and several Italian ‘ polizia ’ (police) cars, in addition to a motorcycle and a special forces police truck,” reports Euronews.

Cruise waved at cameras and was smiling. 

According to ANSA, shooting will take place in different parts of Rome's historic center, including the area around Castel Sant’Angelo and Rione Monti. 

“This is a very big economic and organizational commitment, while adopting scrupulous measures to prevent the spread of the virus, with daily tests for the entire crew and cast, and the disinfection of sets and equipment,” said Rome city council, who also stressed how “major international productions are continuing to choose Rome,” with 596 requests to the cinema office between June and August, up from 583 in the same period last year.

“Mission: Impossible 7,” directed by Christopher McQuarrie, is scheduled to be released in November 2021 by Paramount Pictures.

Tom Cruise a Roma per la première di Mission Impossible 7: "Un'avventura epica". VIDEO

Giornata romana piena per la superstar: prima il photocall in scalinata Trinità dei Monti, poi la visita a Palazzo Chigi dalla presidente del Consiglio Giorgia Meloni. In serata l'anteprima del settimo capitolo della saga all'Auditorium Conciliazione e poi l'after party in Terrazza Caffarelli.

Roma ha accolto Tom Cruise. Giornata piena per l’attore statunitense nella Capitale: prima il red carpet per l’anteprima mondiale di  Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1 ( LE FOTO ), poi un incontro con la presidente del Consiglio Giorgia Meloni a Palazzo Chigi. In serata la première del settimo capitolo della saga che ha incassato oltre tre miliardi e mezzo di dollari al botteghino, all’Auditorium Conciliazione (con un altro red carpet), e poi l’after party sulla Terrazza Caffarelli. Il photocall pomeridiano si è tenuto tra Piazza di Spagna e la scalinata di Trinità dei Monti. Non è stata una scelta casuale, così come non lo è stata quella di organizzare l'anteprima in Italia: molte scene del film sono state girate tra Roma e Venezia. Anche sulla scalinata di Trinità dei Monti. “Questo posto è stupendo, da togliere il respiro”, ha detto Cruise ai microfoni di Denise Negri. Poi ha aggiunto: “È un sogno che si realizza: è stato incredibile girare qui, voglio ringraziare tutti coloro che in questo Paese – a Roma e a Venezia – ci hanno aiutato a girare in un contesto davvero difficile. Voglio che sappiate quanto abbiamo apprezzato. Non diamo nulla per scontato”.

Cruise: "Il film più estremo della saga"

In Dead Reckoning, in sala dal prossimo 12 luglio, Cruise, ancora una volta nei panni dell'agente segreto   Ethan Hunt, è alla ricerca di un’arma letale: non deve cadere nelle mani sbagliate. Già confermato per il 2024 il proseguimento del film. “Questa è un’avventura epica. Abbiamo elevato alla potenza il livello del film. Questo è il motivo per cui c’è una parte uno e una parte due, per via del viaggio emozionale dei personaggi, del respiro del film. Le scene di azione sono più estreme che in tutti gli altri episodi, le location sono incredibili, i personaggi sono molto vivi e le storie piene di emozione, ma anche di situazioni divertenti come quelle che succedono qui dove ci troviamo”, racconta Cruise riferendosi alle scene girate nella Capitale. 

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning - Parte uno, uno spot del film

"assolutamente da vedere al cinema e non a casa".

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1 andrà visto al cinema e non in streaming. Così suggerisce Cruise: “Questo è un film che deve essere visto sul grande schermo, non a casa. So che oggi i film viaggiano su diverse piattaforme ma questo è diverso, visivamente e come sound, è fatto per essere visto tutti insieme in un grande auditorium”.

Il cast di Mission: Impossible 7

Insieme a Cruise, fra ritorni e novità, nel cast del film ci sono Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Henry Czerny, Esai Morales, Frederick Schmidt, Shea Whigham, Pom Klementieff, Greg Tarzan Davis, Mariela Garriga e Cary Elwes. Il regista è il Premio Oscar Christopher McQuarrie, che aveva già diretto gli ultimi due capitoli e che tornerà dietro alla macchina da cinepresa anche per l'ottavo.

Dopo il photocall in Trinità dei Monti, Cruise è arrivato a Palazzo Chigi poco dopo le 20:10 e se ne è andato circa mezz'ora dopo. "Lieta che la Capitale d'Italia sia protagonista dell'ultimo film di Tom Cruise. Oggi a Roma la prima mondiale. Le 'mission impossible' sono anche il nostro pane quotidiano al governo", ha scritto la premier sui suoi social pubblicando una foto insieme all'attore.

Il nuovo episodio della saga è diretto da Christopher McQuarrie e sarà girato in diverse strade del centro storico tra cui via della Tribuna Campitelli, Corrado Ricci, Fori imperiali. Nei primi giorni le riprese interesseranno prevalentemente il Rione Sant'Angelo e il rione Monti per poi investire diverse vie del Centro, ha spiegato il Campidoglio in una nota.

"Le grandi produzioni cinematografiche internazionali - prosegue la nota - continuano a scegliere Roma. Dopo il lockdown si registra una intensa ripresa, nel periodo giugno-agosto le richieste all'Ufficio Cinema sono 596, in aumento rispetto alle 583 del 2019.

Tom Cruise a Roma per la prima mondiale di Mission: Impossible

Pubblicato 10 mesi fa

da Fabrizio Grimaldi

Per l'anteprima mondiale del nuovo capitolo del franchise adrenalinico ci sarà Tom Cruise e tutto il cast. Previste numerose chiusure nel centro della capitale...

Lunedì 19 giugno sono previsti a Roma ben due eventi per la prima di Mission Impossible con Tom Cruise e tutto il cast

Lunedì 19 giugno Roma si fermerà per la prima mondiale di Mission Impossible a cui prenderà parte il divo protagonista Tom Cruise. La scelta della città eterna non è casuale visto che nel 2020 , in piena crisi Covid , fu girato gran parte del film proprio per le strade di Roma. Oltre all’attore di Top Gun sarà presente il cast al completo.

I due red carpet e il party esclusivo

Gli eventi previsti si svolgeranno sotto forma di due red carpet. Il primo inizierà alle 16:30 presso Piazza di Spagna che coinvolgerà stampa e fotografi. Il secondo alle 19:30 che rappresenterà la prima vera anteprima al pubblico presso l’ Auditorium della Conciliazione . A seguire un party esclusivo alla terrazza Caffarelli dei Musei Capitolini .

Traffico e viabilità

Per quanto riguarda la gestione di traffico e viabilità Roma si è preparata da tempo all’avvenimento. Per il primo red carpet , alle 14 , verrà chiusa anche ai pedoni, insieme a via Condotti , Trinità dei Monti e piazza Mignanelli . E alle 16 la sola proibita la circolazione a vista ai pedoni (fatta eccezione, però, dei residenti) delle sole via Condotti e via Mario de’Fiori .

Agli stessi orari nei pressi dell’Auditorium della Conciliazione dovranno essere rimossi tutti i veicoli in sosta dell’aera. Via della Concilliazione verrà chiusa per l’intera giornata tra via Traspontina e largo Giovanni XXIII .

Un’anteprima mondiale in grande stile, insomma, per il nuovo capitolo di Mission: Impossible che non mancherà di attirare migliaia di romani e turisti. Tom Cruise non disdegna mai di tornare in Italia e a Roma, che considera ormai una seconda casa. Il suoi viaggi in Italia si sono intensificati nell’ultimo periodo, infatti, per la sua forte volontà di tornare a girare nel Bel paese anche il prossimo capitolo dello storico e adrenalinico franchise .

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One uscirà nelle sale italiane il prossimo 12 luglio distribuito da Eagle Pictures .

Tom Cruise to film movie in Rome

Tom cruise in rome: 40 days of open-air film sets and car chases in the city centre..

Hollywood film star Tom Cruise and his film crew are to take over some of central Rome's most prized locations for the filming of a major new movie this spring.

The film, with the provisional title of Lybra , will be filmed over a period of 40 days, starting around mid-March.

The action is due to take place on open-air sets in Piazza Navona , Piazza Venezia, in the cobblestoned streets of the Monti quarter and perhaps also in Piazza di Spagna.

Special effects scenes and car chases are expected to be filmed around central Rome, with the city receiving a handsome fee of €200,000 a day for the use of public land.

Tom Cruise in Rome

This will be the third significant return to Rome for Cruise who filmed scenes for Mission Impossible 3 in the capital in 2005, returning a year later to marry actress Katie Holmes in a sumptuous wedding ceremony at the Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano.

When Cruise arrived in Rome to film the third installment of Mission Impossible he and his entourage stayed in the Hotel Hassler, above the Spanish Steps . Cruise made headlines in Rome at the time for filming the unforgettable speedboat chase on the Tiber, which he did - as usual - without stunt doubles.

There is mystery surrounding the "Lybra" film project, which coincides with the announcement of the cast of the seventh edition of Mission Impossible , which will star Rebecca Ferguson and Hayley Atwell alongside Cruise. The speculation is that Lybra is in fact Mission Impossible 7 .

The movie will be the latest in a string of international productions filmed in Rome in recent years, such as Zoolander 2 , To Rome with Love by Woody Allen and of course, the James Bond movie Spectre  with Daniel Craig in 2014.

Movies filmed in Rome during the previous decade include Angels and Demons with Tom Hanks, The Talented Mr Ripley with Matt Damon, Eat Pray Love with Julia Roberts, and Gangs of New York with Leonardo DiCaprio in 2000.

Tom Cruise Seen Sprinting Down Street in London as He Shoots Next Mission: Impossible Movie

The eighth 'Mission: Impossible' film, which does not yet have a title, is expected in theaters May 23, 2025

Tom Cruise is showing no signs of slowing down in the next Mission: Impossible movie.

On Sunday, Cruise, 61, was seen sprinting down a street in London while filming a scene for the upcoming eighth film in his signature action franchise. The actor could be seen wearing a black suit with a white shirt opened at the top, with fake blood drenched over his chest while filming the sequence.

Cruise most recently appeared as his Mission: Impossible character Ethan Hunt in last year's Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning , which made $172 million at the  domestic box office . Dead Reckoning also earned the franchise its first-ever Academy Award nominations when it received nods for Best Visual Effects and Best Sound at the recent 96th Oscars ceremony.

A title for the upcoming eighth Mission: Impossible movie has not yet been announced. The next film was originally set for release on June 28, but production delays related to 2023's SAG-AFTRA strike forced the film to restart production in the fall and delay its release until May 23, 2025, as Deadline reported back in October.

Dead Reckoning left Cruise's character Ethan Hunt and series regulars Luther (Ving Rhames) and Benji (Simon Pegg) at odds with villain Gabriel (Esai Morales) and forging new alliances with characters like Grace (Hayley Atwell) over a battle for control over a sentient artificial intelligence.

The eighth Mission: Impossible film is just one movie among a number of projects Cruise has in development. In February, PEOPLE confirmed Cruise will star in the next movie from The Revenant filmmaker  Alejandro G. Iñárritu , while The Hollywood Reporter  reported in January that Paramount is developing Top Gun 3 as a sequel to Cruise's major 2022 success Top Gun: Maverick .

Cruise, known for his penchant for performing his own stunts, was recently seen climbing the iconic Hollywood Sign in Los Angeles' Hollywood Hills on March 16 accompanied by a film crew. A representative for Cruise did not respond to PEOPLE's request for comment Monday. While it's unclear what Cruise was filming on Saturday, the stunt did not appear related to the next Mission: Impossible film.

Mission: Impossible 8 is expected in theaters May 23, 2025.

Mission: Impossible 8 Filmed A Huge Tom Cruise Running Sequence In London, But Is It Actually A Flashback?

A s the 2024 movie schedule starts to sprint further into action, it’s hard not to think about how another one of Mission: Impossible 8’s release dates will be passing us by this June. One can’t rush the sort of enterprise that co-writer/director Christopher McQuarrie and star/producer Tom Cruise engage in with these movies. 

However, according to some recent set photos, that’s exactly what Ethan Hunt is doing thanks to some nighttime sprinting for the camera. This has led me to think the franchise star has been spotted shooting what could be an important flashback scene that ties into what we saw in Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning. Let me explain.

The Details Of Tom Cruise’s New Mission: Impossible 8 Running Scene

Photos captured by The Daily Mail put the Mission: Impossible star right on the famed Westminster Bridge for a night shoot on his latest. So naturally, we can’t show those shots, as that would get me in as much trouble as stealing the IMF NOC List.

It’s not too much on display on first blush, but really digging into the details, I think I’ve got an idea what’s going on in this scene. Displaying Tom Cruise running full sprint in London, with much longer hair than we saw in Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning’ s ending , the man has blood on his shirt and looks rather panicky as a result.

I can’t blame Mr. Cruise, as I think we’d all feel that same way, whether it was our own blood or that of an enemy/unfortunate accomplice. Which brings me to my theory on why this Mission: Impossible 8 scene could be quite important. 

Why I Think This Is Part Of Ethan Hunt’s IMF Origins Flashback

If there was ever a time to use one’s Paramount+ subscription for research, this would be it. I say that because back in what used to be known as Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One , we saw a flashback to Ethan Hunt’s origins with the IMF. More specifically, we saw how his grudge against Gabriel (Esai Morales) sparked up thanks to the death of Marie (Mariela Garriga), a woman who was with former thief Ethan on the heist that would send him into the service.

We didn’t get to see too much of this back story in Mission: Impossible 7 , despite more footage being shot. But the small glimpses we saw did show Tom Cruise with a longer hairdo and in an outfit similar to the one he’s wearing in the photos run by the report sourced above.

After losing Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson) to Gabriel in Dead Reckoning , you can be sure that this sore spot is going to be weighing on Ethan’s conscience more than ever. Plus, with his attempt to save his recently-departed IMF compatriot also involving a run of panic, the parallels couldn't be drawn finer.

I could be totally wrong about this Mission: Impossible 8 theory, as we’ve seen that no matter what’s shot on set, it’s the edit that really determines the truth. However, before anyone mentions the Tom Cruise biplane stunt that was previously filmed and shown off to promote Mission: Impossible 7, I've already checked that footage.

From what I'm seeing, Cruise's hair isn't nearly as long and flowy in that crazy stunt as it is in these new shots. So either a new, longer time jump has been built into the next chapter, or we're dealing with even more shadows of the past. 

Next summer is when we’ll finally see how The Entity is bested, as Mission: Impossible 8 is set to accept its mission with a theatrical debut set for May 23, 2025. However, if you’re looking to run through the entire history of Mission: Impossible movies in order , you can catch all previous installments streaming on Paramount+.

Screen Rant

36-year-old tom cruise movie with 9% on rotten tomatoes has the perfect remake cast after $216m hit.

One critically-panned box office hit from Tom Cruise is ripe for a remake, and the perfect cast can be found in the leads of 2023's rom-com success.

• Casting the leads from 2024's successful rom-com, Anyone but You, could elevate a remake of Tom Cruise's 1988 Cocktail movie.
• The success of 2024's Road House remake suggests modern remakes of divisive '80s classics can work today.
• Glen Powell's Top Gun role proves he could successfully replace Tom Cruise in a potential Cocktail remake.

With Road House (2024) paving the way for more modern remakes of cult classic ‘80s thrillers, the potential for Tom Cruise’s 1988 movie Cocktail to be remade could work better by casting the leads from 2023’s big rom-com success. The 1980s was an incredible decade for entries in the so-bad-they’re-good action/thriller subgenre , with movies like Patrick Swayze’s Road House failing to impress critics but remaining beloved for their lack of self-seriousness and entertainment value. The cast of 2024’s Road House remake maintains this sentiment in the remake of the 1989 film, with its divisive success making additional remakes of movies of this vein more likely.

While not as fondly remembered as Road House , another ‘80s hit that falls into this category is Tom Cruise’s 1988 movie Cocktail . The movie follows Cruise’s Brian Flanagan, a business student working as a successful bartender, whose relationships with his coworker Doug (Bryan Brown) and romantic interest Jordan (Elisabeth Shue) lead to a series of unexpected twists and turns. Though the film holds a meager 9% score on Rotten Tomatoes, it was a smash box office smash, earning $171.5 million against an estimated budget of $20 million (via Box Office Mojo ). Following Road House ’s success, it could finally be time to give Cruse's Cocktail the modern remake treatment .

Road House Proves Jake Gyllenhaal Is Perfect For Upcoming Reboot Of 30-Year-Old Jean-Claude Van Damme Action Movie

Glen powell & sydney sweeney would be perfect for a cocktail remake after anyone but you, the two actors could fill the shoes of tom cruise and elisabeth shue.

One crucial factor contributing to the success of Doug Liman’s 2024 Road House remake was its compelling lead cast, with action star Jake Gyllenhaal taking over Patrick Swayze’s character from the original while UFC champion Conor McGregor assumed the cartoonish villain role . Similar to Road House ’s remake requiring an actor with Swayze’s star power and charisma, a Cocktail remake would need an actor with comparable allure to ‘80s-era Tom Cruise for Brian Flanagan . Likewise, with Elisabeth Shue having been one of the biggest female stars of the ‘80s, a Cocktail remake would need an actress of similar popularity and appeal to step into the role of Jordan Mooney.

Anyone but You (2024) and Cocktail (1988) are available to rent or purchase from digital retailers like Amazon Prime Video and YouTube.

If Cocktail does get a remake, these casting requirements can easily be found in the leads of the 2023 hit movie Anyone but You . Though also divisive among critics, Anyone but You was a certified box office smash as it went on to earn over $216 million against a $25 million budget. In addition to a witty script and fun premise, much of Anyone but You ’s success can be attributed to the casting and chemistry of Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney as the two romantic leads. In 2024, Powell and Sweeney aren’t too off from the cards that Cruise and Shue brought to the table back in 1988 for Cocktail .

Much of Anyone but You ’s success can be attributed to the casting and chemistry of Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney as the two romantic leads.

Powell already had rom-com experience with films like Set It Up ahead of Anyone but You , but made a bigger name for his action roles in movies such as Top Gun: Maverick , Devotion , Hit Man , and, now, the upcoming Twisters sequel movie . Meanwhile, Sweeney has proven widely popular with audiences after her roles in Euphoria , The White Lotus , and Immaculate , and both actors prove increasingly bankable with each new release. With the original Cocktail movie’s negative critical and audience response making it ripe for improvement , Powell and Sweeney could provide the star power a remake would need to successfully adapt the same-named 1984 novel.

Sydney Sweeney's New Record-Breaking Movie Confirms Her Box Office Dominance (Just Ignore THAT Movie)

Remaking cocktail sounds better than anyone but you 2 for powell & sweeney, anyone but you doesn't need a direct sequel.

Following the success Anyone but You , Sweeney and Powell announced they were reading scripts and searching for their next collaboration together. While some have thrown around the idea of returning to Bea and Ben’s story with a potential Anyone but You 2 movie , the original movie being based on Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing makes a sequel unnecessary. Rather, it seems more likely that Powell and Sweeney’s “sequel” will be a completely different film that pairs them as romantic leads.

It seems more likely that Powell and Sweeney’s “sequel” will be a completely different film that pairs them as romantic leads.

This was a common tactic for 1990s romantic comedies, which would see romantic leads like Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan or Julia Roberts and Richard Gere reunite in another rom-com instead of making a direct sequel to their past success. Consequently, with Sweeney and Powell searching for their next film collaboration, a remake of Cocktail could provide a fitting follow-up to Anyone but You . With Powell playing Brian and Sweeney playing Jordan, the duo would just need to find a new Doug to enhance their existing chemistry, potentially creating the perfect recipe to improve upon Cruise’s original movie.

Road House 2024's Success Proves Remakes Of Divisive '80s Thrillers Can Work Today

The bar is set lower, but it needs to maintain '80s movie's tone.

Remakes of 1980s hits don’t always work out, with some proving to be unnecessary if the original was already a hit and a product of its time. However, there are some notable exceptions, with Amazon’s 2024 Road House movie being one of them. The Road House remake’s Rotten Tomatoes score is already better than the 1989 original (59% compared to 43%), and smashed records for Prime Video’s movie premiere viewership numbers to prove its popularity among audiences. Though many fans of the original may reasonably remain more loyal to Swayze’s 1989 iteration, it’s difficult to deny the entertainment value and success of the remake.

Considering Cocktail has a much less beloved reputation than 1989’s Road House , remaking the Tom Cruise film isn’t apt to come with as much apprehension or high expectations. With an already divisive original movie, there isn’t as big of a risk of “ ruining ” the original, as the bar is relatively lower when aiming to improve upon certain aspects of the first film that didn’t initially land with critics and audiences. Of course, with cult classics, it helps if the remake maintains the tone of the original, such as 2024’s Road House protecting the campiness and lack of self-seriousness of the 1989 film.

Top Gun: Maverick Highlights How Glen Powell Could Replace Tom Cruise's Brian In Cocktail

Powell and cruise's characters share similar qualities in top gun.

A potential Cocktail remake wouldn’t be the first time that Glen Powell has stepped into an ‘80s-based Tom Cruise property. Powell starred in Cruise’s 2022 hit Top Gun: Maverick as Hangman , who served a role similar to Val Kilmer’s Iceman from the 1986 original movie. Consequently, it’s already clear that Powell has qualities similar to Cruise in that era, which would make him taking over a character that Cruise originated easier to grasp.

The greatest way to make [a Cocktail remake] more enticing would be to get Tom Cruise to return as well.

Similar to Hangman or Maverick, a character like Brian Flanagan has an air of cockiness and confidence that contrasts with his need to prove himself. Powell’s past movies have demonstrated that he could take on this type of character successfully, having to balance the cockiness and heroism of his Top Gun character with the earnestness and rom-com lead chops of his Anyone but You role. While Powell and Sweeney potentially starring in a Cocktail remake would already give it a leg up, the greatest way to make it more enticing would be to get Tom Cruise to return as well.
