The number one rule of Top Gun: Maverick was not to always make sure Tom Cruise looked good.

If you still wonder why Tron: Legacy's sequel never happened, director Joseph Kosinski has further explained how Star Wars and Marvel were involved in that decision.

Director Joseph Kosinski just got a killer A-list trio for his upcoming Netflix movie Spiderhead. It's been well over a year since we last told you about Spiderhead, so a quick refresher is in order. The Netflix original will be Kosinski's first post-Top Gun: Maverick project. The movie will be adapted from George Saunders' short story "Escape from Spiderhead" by Zombieland writing team Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.

Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski has been hard at work finishing up post-production on the big budget sequel, which is currently on track for a December release. In an exclusive Comic-Con@Home panel with fellow directors Colin Trevorrow and Robert Rodriguez, hosted by Collider, he teased some details about the anticipated film, specifically how new technology allowed him to accomplish many more practical shots than would have typically been possible. "The technology that allows filmmaking to be more practical is the stuff I get most excited about. On Top Gun, we worked with Sony to develop an …

Ford v Ferrari may have scored a Best Picture Oscar nomination earlier this year, but that wasn't the only version of that particular film that Hollywood was trying to develop. Joseph Kosinski was a guest on Collider's Directors on Directing panel as part of Comic-Con@Home, and when Collider's Editor-in-Chief Steve Weintraub asked the Top Gun: Maverick helmer if there were any projects near and dear to him that never got made, Kosinski cited an unmade version of Ford v Ferrari titled Go Like Hell that might have starred Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. "…

There is more to the Daft Punk Tron: Legacy soundtrack than you've heard. During Collider's Comic Con@Home "Directors on Directing" panel, which featured Robert Rodriguez, Colin Trevorrow and Joseph Kosinski discussing their craft, Collider's Editor-in-chief Steve Weintraub asked if there was something that each filmmaker fought for that they’re particularly proud of. While Kosinksi prefaced his response by saying that he didn’t know if it was a fight, exactly, his answer was surprising: the decision to let French electronic duo Daft Punk (nee Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter) score …

If you’re a fan of directors Robert Rodriguez, Colin Trevorrow, and Joseph Kosinski, or just want to hear some great behind-the-scenes stories about making movies in Hollywood, you’re in the right place. That’s because for this year’s Comic-Con@Home, we finally launched our “Directors on Directing” panel with Rodriguez, Trevorrow, and Kosinski! For the past few years, I’ve been trying to put on a “Directors on Directing” panel at San Diego Comic-Con. The idea was to get a few filmmakers that have directed some big projects to share some behind-the-…

Joseph Kosinski is a director who intrigues me me because I think we've only scratched the surface of what he can do. Some would argue the exact opposite, but I think Kosinski has improved with each film, from the stylish-but-empty TRON: Legacy, to the Tom Cruise vehicle Oblivion, to the underrated firefighting drama Only the Brave. Kosinski has been hard at work on the Top Gun sequel of late, but once that's in the can he'll segue to Netflix's sci-fi movie Spiderhead, which sounds pretty interesting. Spiderhead is based on a short story …
