Not much is known about Iñárritu and Cruise's project, however, this is the description handled by WB:

“The tragicomedy follows the most powerful man in the world who causes a disaster and embarks on a frantic mission to prove that he is the savior of humanity before the disaster he has unleashed destroys everything.”

It is a production of WB and Legendary Entertainment.

Iñárritu directs and co-writes the script with Sabrina Berman (El Traspatio, Between Pancho Villa and a naked woman), Alexander Dinelaris (Birdman, The Revenant), y Nicolás Giacobone (Birdman, The Revenant).

The film will be produced by Iñárritu and Cruise.
