Todd Field Explains How Tom Cruise Helped Save His Debut Feature From Harvey Weinstein’s Recuts: ‘It’s Going to Take You Six Months and You’ll Beat Him’

, Field shared that he was devastated after “In the Bedroom” was acquired by Miramax out of the film’s Sundance debut in the early weeks of 2001. Harvey Weinstein, the now-convicted sex offender and former Hollywood producer, was running the banner at the time and wielded a notorious reputation for taking films away from creatives and back into the editing room.

Cruise, who had already worked as a producer before, laid out a process that involved allowing Weinstein to re-edit “In the Bedroom,” trusting that the new version would test poorly at preview screenings. After that, Field could point back to positive reviews out of Sundance to suggest that the film be released in its original form.

TAR is his best yet - a fantastic film that’s not just defined by the amazing Cate Blanchett - it’s going to give legends like Spielberg, Cruise & co a real run for their money come March 12th.

Did Harvey want it re-edited to include more titty shots?

No one cares

“Screwed up guy tells screwed up guy how to escape screw up guy” 😏
