Colin Farrell made Tom Cruise angry after needing to do 46 takes of one "Minority Report" scene because of Farrell's partying and drinking habit. "I had one of the worst days I've ever had on a film set [on 'Minority Report']. It was my birthday on May 31, and we were shooting, and I begged production of a $120 million film if they [could] not have me working on my birthday. So of course my pickup was 6 a.m. on May 31, and I got up to all sorts of nonsense the night before. And I remember getting into bed, and as soon as I turned off the light the phone rang and it was the driver, [who] said, 'It's 10 past 6.' And I went, 'Oh, sh*t.'" "[I told the assistant director], ‘Just get me six Pacifico Cervezas and a packet of 20 [Marlboro] Red.' Now, listen, it’s not cool because two years later I went to rehab, right? But it worked in the moment... It was terrible. I will never forget the line I had that I couldn’t get out. It was, ‘I’m sure you’ve all grasped the fundamental paradox of pre-crime methodology.’ That was the line that started the scene. I remember [the crew] coming up and saying, ‘Do you want to go out and take a breath of fresh air?’ And I remember thinking, ‘If I go out and take a breath of fresh air, then I’ll be under more pressure when I come back in to be better.’ And I went, ‘No, we’ll just go through it.' We did 46 takes. Tom wasn’t very happy with me. Tom, who I love, was not very happy!” Read more here: variety.com/2025/film/news/c…
