Three-time Oscar nominee Tom Cruise once gave his Eyes Wide Shut castmate \u2014 three-time Oscar nominee Todd Field \u2014 advice on making his feature directorial debut after disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein nearly chopped it to pieces.<\/p>\n
When the 58-year-old SoCal native was having difficulty adapting Andre Dubus’ 1979 short story Killings, the New York\u2013born 60-year-old actor scoffed: ‘You’re just making excuses. Figure it out.’<\/p>\n
Todd eventually wrote the script, got the rights, cast Tom’s first cousin William Mapother, and debuted his 2001 indie drama In The Bedroom at the Sundance Film Festival.<\/p>\n
