Hollywood’s Biggest Bidding War Is Over a Battlefield Movie

The upcoming film is spearheaded by Christopher McQuarrie, who will write, direct, and produce. Academy Award winner Michael B. Jordan is also producing and may appear in the movie. McQuarrie is known for his Oscar-winning screenplay for The Usual Suspects and his strong collaboration with Tom Cruise, beginning with Valkyrie and Edge of Tomorrow. Cruise then chose McQuarrie to direct Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, and he subsequently directed the next three films in that series. He also directed Cruise in Jack Reacher, and recently finished directing back-to-back installments of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning during the COVID-19 pandemic and the Hollywood strikes.
