In Sight and sound The June cover story of the magazine, Cruise, 62, was asked about filming with Kidman, 57, and Director Stanley Kubrick.
“I flew out to his house, and I landed in his backyard. I read the script the other day and spending the day talking about it. I knew all his movies,” Cruise remembered, referring to Kubrick, who died in 1999 at the age of 70. “Then basically he and a role did, doing that. Actress.”
