New Tom Cruise underwater action thriller reportedly put on pause after budget spirals to $275m

Upcoming movies: Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible - Final Reckoning.

Tom Cruise is going to have to hold his breath a little longer for his new film, Deeper, with Ana de Armas, after reports that Warner Bros. has halted development on the next project because of budgetary issues.

News from Puck reveals that the star has been trying to nail down a price tag of $275 million for the film's production, which the studio is not on board with, and is looking to settle for $230 million instead (have they not checked the back of their sofa?). Sources close to the site have revealed that the water tower isn't willing to spill any more on the film, forcing Cruise to take the project elsewhere and find another studio to agree to his required number. Regardless of this happening, though, it will leave a lot of work that Warner Bros. has already done in developing the project.
