Liman also is a collaborator of Tom Cruise, helming the well-regarded 2014 original sci-fi movie The Edge of Tomorrow as well as American Made. He is now working on Deeper, an underwater supernatural thriller that is being targeted for Cruise and Ana de Armas.

The Stand,' the literary classic from Stephen King, will be directed by Doug Liman as a film adaptation for Paramount.

The director of 'Edge of Tomorrow,' 'The Bourne Identity,' and last year's 'Road House' will tackle a new take on the post-apocalyptic tale.
