In addition, he’s made more than one movie with scope, as both Oblivion and Tron: Legacy were bigger budget movies with a lot of moving parts.
The director worked with Tom Cruise once before on Oblivion, so he should have a keen sense of how the actor works.
Kosinski’s next movie, Granite Mountain Hotshots, is scheduled to hit theaters later this year, so presumably he’d be free after that project, as well.
Currently, Paramount is staying mum about the status of the upcoming blockbuster, even about whether or not it is officially moving forward, much less who is directing it.
