Tom Cruise wants his Tropic Thundercharacter to get a spinoff movie. The original satirical comedy movie came out in 2008 and focused on a group of actors filming a high-budget movie who are forced to become the soldiers they are portraying in the war film.

Designed to underscore the “impossible” aspect of the job, the timelines don’t really mean anything to the actual events, particularly since star Tom Cruise is going where he hasn’t been before.
