Top Gun: Maverick co-star Glen Powell has revealed that Tom Cruise has produced a six-hour film school movie that features everything he’s learned about filmmaking throughout his career.
Powell shared with GQ that Cruise sent him to watch the movie alone in a theater in Los Angeles, which involves Cruise speaking directly to the camera as he breaks down his knowledge of the industry.
I would love to watch this movie, but Cruise only made it for his friends. He has no intention of making it available to everyone to watch, which is a shame.
Powell described the movie, saying: “[Cruise] is like: ‘Do we all agree that this is what a camera is? This is the difference between a film camera and a digital camera…’ The funniest part is on flying.
“It was like he put together this entire flight school. So he would literally go ‘OK, this is what a plane is. Here’s how things fly. Here’s how air pressure works.'”
It would sure be interesting to watch this movie! I’ve just got to find a way to become Tom Cruise’s friend!
