He’s involved with every aspect of the filmmaking, and that collaboration is what he really feeds off of and enjoys. Obviously, he’s a producer on this, but it’s really a partnership. Of working with Cruise (they previously teamed on 2013’s Obilivion), the director notes, “He’s not just an actor in your film. “That was a 15-month development process to figure out how to take a prototype system and integrate it into an $80 million military aircraft and make it capable of withstanding 7 g’s of force and 35,000 feet of altitude, and it had to be clear for an ejection and safe for the pilots,” Kosinski relates. In the new episode of Behind the Screen, Kosinski also details filming the flying scenes, and how they prepared prototypes of Sony’s Venice extension system, Rialto, to film the actors in the F/A-18s during flight. “Val and Tom performed the scene, and then we enhanced Val’s voice by blending it with another one, mostly for clarity, more than anything else,” said Kosinski of the moment in which Iceman addresses Maverick. Kilmer has been open about battling throat cancer, revealing in his acclaimed 2021 documentary, Val, that his voice was never the same after a tracheostomy in 2014. “They are just two actors at the top of their game doing this really beautiful scene for the film that’s so important.
“To see how much respect they had for each other as actors, and to see a friendship that has evolved over 36 years - it really mirrored what you see onscreen in the scene,” Kosinski said on this week’s episode of THR’s Behind the Screen podcast.
