Tom Cruise to Receive BFI Fellowship


The Hollywood star is being honored for both his achievements as an actor and his contributions to the U.K. film industry

Indeed, alongside Iñárritu’s project, Cruise has spent a large proportion of the last few decades living and working in the U.K., where he has shot numerous “Mission: Impossible” films on location around the country. Outside of the spy franchise, Cruise has worked in the U.K. on many other features, including “Legend” with Ridley Scott, Stanley Kubrick’s “Eyes Wide Shut,” “Interview with the Vampire” by Neil Jordan and Doug Liman’s “Edge of Tomorrow.” Cruise joins an every-growing and illustrious list of BFI Fellows, including David Lean, Bette Davis, Akira Kurosawa, Ousmane Sembène, Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger, Orson Welles, Thelma Schoonmaker, Derek Jarman, Martin Scorsese, Satyajit Ray, Yasujirō Ozu and, most recently, Tilda Swinton, Barbara Broccoli, Michael G Wilson, Spike Lee and Christopher Nolan.
