For the young audience seen by Tom Cruise Starwar in Mali, but only "Mission: Impossible" movies and would be franchise starters For the past 25 years, it can be difficult to imagine when the president of the film was not only a big draw for box office, but also a very sought after dramatic actor who worked with the best industry directors.

Indeed, in the 1990s, Tom Cruise has starred in a series of commercial and critical hits, recognized films by proven authors who have made money and received recognition, from "Days of Thunder" and "The firm" to "interview the vampire" and "eyes closed". But for so many films, Tom Cruise was that, there were movies, there are also films Cruz at some point or other affectionate, but in the end it wasn't part of. One such movie is The notorious boxing bomb that ended up becoming a cult classic"Shoashank's redemption".

That's right, Tom Cruise was at one point very eager to play Andy Duffen in the adaptation of Steven King's novel "Rita Heworth and the RedempP" show "for a specific reason. Come out "a few good men", Cruz saw the opportunity to unite with his director Rob Rainer, who agreed to produce Frank Darnot's script for "Joskank" through his castle party production company. According to USA todayThe Diper was offered a cash to allow Rainer to direct the film, but he refused. Cruz was even close to Andy's playing without Rainer, however, and he reportedly attended the table, but eventually retired from the film.

"I think he was a little nervous working for the first time for the first time. "But he might have been too big for the movie I wanted to do. That was not the role of" Cool Hand Luke "where you want Paul Manumman. It was a little less bold, more subtle than that. "

It makes sense that, at that time, Cruz would choose to pass the "Shawshank Redemption" because the Danish is inexperienced. After all, Cruz gave the success of his collaborations with Sydney Polack in the company, Rob Rainer in "Few Good Men", Ron Howard in "Far and Far" and Tony Scott in "Days of Thunder". All of these were established and recognized directors who knew how to use a cruise, while the Dardan was completely unpredictable variable. Of course, the film became loved by the audience to the point that somehow It still has the title of the film with the highest ranking of IMDB after many, many yearsBut it's hard to imagine it's the case before filming begins.

Cruz was not the only big star that almost appeared in "Shoashank's ransom". Brad Pitt was also at one point to play Tommy Williams, a small but key role in the film late. But when Pete rose to Ardwar after Telma and Louise, he retired to act in an "interview with the vampire" along with Cruz.

Indeed, this film drew some of the greatest actor legends of all time, even if it was just a short question that went nowhere. The Dandan initially looked at his acting idols, like Robert Duval and Ein Hackman, and even considered Paul Manumman and Clint Eastwood, but those conversations did not go far. In addition to Cruz, Kevin Costner and Tom Hanks have also passed the role of Andy Duffen, and Hanks continued to act in the desired "Forest Gump" and Costner will star in the predecessor of the "Water" trick of Universal.

At the time of "Shoashank's redemption", Cruz changed his attitude towards directors. He has spent most of the last 25 years acting in the Mission Franchise: Impossible, which included directors for the first time, such as Yey Abrams and Brad Byrd (his live debut), while also doing bizarre work with non-tested directors such as Adam Shankman. With the news that Cruz joins Alejandro Gonzalez Iriritu for a new moviePerhaps the cruising of the old one who worked on recognized and not only successful films is on the return.
