Everyone and their friends have swept the floor of popcorn buckets as Tom Cruise casually jumped off the highest cliffs in Mission: Impossible. But director Alejandro G. Iñárritu has now teased their upcoming film, temporarily titled Judy, hinting that Cruise's genre transmigration would leave the audience equally enthralled. It promises to deliver not only spectacle, but a new re-awakening of imagination. The anticipation buzzes down Hollywood hallways as the world waits with bated breath for Cruise and Iñárritu's masterpiece.

Can a filmmaker renowned for raw drama and an actor celebrated for adrenaline join forces to create something new and equally enticing?

Alejandro G. Iñárritu has called Tom Cruise's work on their upcoming comedy a rewarding creative experience. Recently, the director praised Cruise for his passion, integrity, and dedication, noting his love for the process and intensity he brings to the material. Speaking to IndieWire, Iñárritu teased that Cruise "will surprise the world. People will see a new kind of thing." He guaranteed that Cruise would deliver a new cinematic experience. 

Iñárritu explained to IndieWire that their mutual trust deepened rapidly on set, a bond that facilitated daring gambles. Though overall plot specifics are under wraps, word has it that this dark, comedic character-driven storyline involves catastrophic undertones that blend humor, tension, and ambition with efficacy. In the director's own words, Cruise's next feature might not have him fly a jet but is a bold "wild comedy," entirely driven by his character.

The Academy Award-winning director is famed for his unpredictable cinematic masterpieces, and with his new tease, Judy now shoulders such expectations.

Straight from the mind of Academy Award-winner Alejandro G. Iñárritu, the visionary director whose resume boasts Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths (2022), Amores perros (2000), The Revenant (2015), Babel (2006), and more, arrives a unique black comedy, tentatively titled Judy, set to release on October 2, 2026. Its cast includes Tom Cruise, Jesse Plemons, Sandra Hüller, Riz Ahmed, Sophie Wilde, John Goodman, Emma D'Arcy, and Michael Stuhlbarg. 

Shot by Emmanuel Lubezki employing 35 mm film in VistaVision, the film centers around a powerful man's frantic mission to prove he is humanity's savior, per LetterBoxd. Presumably played by Tom Cruise, the protagonist attempts to make the world believe he is its messiah and then sees the aftermath spin out of control. Iñárritu described it as a "brutal, wild comedy of catastrophic proportions," promising a fearless intersection of risk, character, and vision bound to surprise the world.
