Why Tom Cruise And Brad Pitt Are Such Great Leads To Have In A Film, According To Jerry Bruckheimer

by

It’s rare for any actor to star in a successful film, and even rarer to do so while working with a renowned producer like Jerry Bruckenheimer. But Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, both major stars for decades, have achieved both. Bruckenheimer recently shared what makes each of them such exceptional leads.

Why Jerry Bruckheimer Loves Working With Tom Cruise And Brad Pitt

It’s likely that Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise are still major stars because they’re known as good people to work with. Both actors have been in many successful and memorable films over the years. Pitt’s hits include The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Top Gun, Top Gun: Maverick, World War Z, the Ocean’s 11 movies, and Risky Business. Cruise and Pitt also starred together in Interview with A Vampire.

It’s no surprise producer Jerry Bruckheimer praises both actors, having worked with them extensively. In a recent Variety interview discussing his upcoming projects and the success of this summer’s F1 (featuring Brad Pitt and produced by him), Bruckheimer emphasized the importance of having dedicated lead actors who are willing to put in the extra effort to ensure a film’s success. He explained:

Working with Tom or Brad is fantastic because they’re completely focused on success. They’re dedicated to creating a high-quality film, delivering strong performances, and ensuring the movie reaches and delights audiences. Ultimately, they’re driven to achieve the best possible outcome.

Actors bring many valuable qualities to a production, ranging from simple professionalism like punctuality and preparation, to more advanced skills. A strong competitive drive – a desire to succeed – is definitely one of those valuable, but not always common, traits.

That level of dedication shows a deep commitment to the film and a desire to give audiences the best possible moviegoing experience.

Even experienced filmmakers know not every movie will be a huge success, but having a positive and confident approach greatly increases your odds.
