In reply to jh. I liked Oblivion and if Granite Mountain Hot Shots is any good, I'd say Kosinski has a winning record. But the Kurtzman thing is still puzzling. Heck, even Cocktail was directed by Roger Donaldson who is a pretty good filmmaker in his own right.

In reply to cirkusfolk. In fairness to Kosinski, Oblivion wasn't great but it was a long way from awful, and he's also just directed this Granite Mtn firefighters movie, which has a great cast and I imagine bolstered Paramount's confidence in him. That Tron movie was basically unwatchable though.

Cruise has very rarely worked with directors who haven’t proven themselves beforehand which was why it was a surprise that Kurtzman was chosen to direct The Mummy. In fact, Cruise has the most impressive array of directors for his film that I can think of.

Curtis Hanson, Francis Ford Coppola, Ridley Scott, Tony Scott x 2, Martin Scorsese, Barry Levinson, Oliver Stone, Ron Howard, Rob Reiner, Sydney Pollack, Neil Jordan, Brian DePalma, Cameron Crowe x 2, Stanley Kubrick, Paul Thomas Anderson, John Woo, Steven Spielberg x 2, Ed Zwick x 2, Michael Mann, JJ Abrams, Robert Redford, Bryan Singer, James Mangold, Brad Bird, Christopher McQuarrie x 3, Doug Liman x 2,
