Could Joseph Kosinski's UFO Film Reunite Tom Cruise & Brad Pitt?

Apple just made headlines by securing an eye-popping deal for an untitled thriller centered on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs)—formerly known as UFOs. Directed by Top Gun: Maverick’s Joseph Kosinski and produced by legendary hitmaker Jerry Bruckheimer, the project has Hollywood buzzing not just for its massive budget, but for who could join the cast.

With Brad Pitt already leading Apple’s upcoming Formula 1 film from the same creative team, insiders are now wondering—could this be the long-awaited reunion of Pitt and Tom Cruise?

The two stars haven’t appeared onscreen together since 1994’s Interview with the Vampire, amid rumors of personal friction. But with Apple investing heavily in prestige, spectacle, and legacy pairings, the new UAP thriller might be the moment to bury the hatchet.

The script, written by King Richard’s Zach Baylin, follows two national security agents uncovering a secret government program that recovers and reverse-engineers crashed UFOs. The subject matter demands star power—and Cruise’s ties to Kosinski and Bruckheimer (via Top Gun) are undeniable. Pitt’s presence in Apple’s orbit is also deepening, making a reunion logistically feasible.

Could Bruckheimer broker peace for cinematic history? As one insider put it: “If there’s one producer who can make it happen, it’s Jerry.”

Whatever the cast may be, the UAP film is shaping up as another major swing for Apple in the theatrical blockbuster arena. And if Pitt and Cruise end up sharing the screen again, it could be more than just a box office event—it could be a pop culture milestone.
