Tony Scott’s high-octane blockbuster, Top Gun, turned Cruise from the rising young star of The Outsiders and Risky Business into one of Hollywood’s biggest names. And 36 years later, he still is gmaddox
While his most frequent collaborators are now Christopher McQuarrie and Doug Liman, Cruise has also shot movies with – take a deep breath – Franco Zeffirelli, Robert Redford, Paul Thomas Anderson, Oliver Stone, Ron Howard, Rob Reiner, Barry Levinson, Sydney Pollack, Brian De Palma, Tony Scott, Roger Donaldson, Cameron Crowe, John Woo, J.J. Abrams, Curtis Hanson, Ben Stiller, Bryan Singer, Neil Jordan, James Mangold, Brad Bird and Joseph Kosinski.
Yes, it’s largely a list of the top tier of white American filmmakers – missing only Tarantino, Eastwood, Fincher, Lucas and the Coen brothers – with a notable exception., Cruise has never starred in a movie directed by a woman. That probably says more about the lack of women who have been given to chance to direct major Hollywood movies over 35 years than whether female directors have wanted to cast him.
