Zwick worked with Cruise on the 2003 film "The Last Samurai", which earned four Oscar nominations.

He is you know we're playing this classic themes with this with Reacher what it's I love about it, he is very modern. But of course I am talking with that about with other films I'd love to work with him again. We're just talking about that exactly. I hope it's not another 13 years before we're making movie together," Cruise said.
Cruise added that he was happy with his 22nd visit to Japan, whose history he is particularly interested through playing in "The Last Samurai".
