The world hasn't even fully witnessed Tom Cruise's final dance with death as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, and already, the screen legend is prepping for his next big project, which will have audiences holding their breath yet again. According to Deadline, Cruise is eyeing the underwater horror film Deeper, which might be the next item on his to-do list, and he is bringing the soon-to-be Ballerina, Ana de Armas, along for the ride. Initially a spec script from Max Landis, the story sees an astronaut encounter something not of this world while diving into an unexplored trench. Needless to say, things get murky and very scary down in the depths.
It's understandable why Cruise is drawn to the story. He has taken iconic underwater dips for the Mission: Impossible franchise, including the series' final chapter. It's also been confirmed that he and de Armas have already undergone training for the film, which is expected to have a $200 million budget.
