Colin Farrell once took 46 takes to film a Minority Report scene, and co-star Tom Cruise’s reaction was exactly what you would expect

“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,'” Farrell said.

The crew then offered Farrell the opportunity to head outside for a breather, but the actor refused, stating that we’ll “just go through it.”

“We did 46 takes,” Farrell said. “Tom wasn’t very happy with me. Tom, who I love, was not very happy!”

Minority Report, directed by Steven Spielberg, starred Tom Cruise in a futuristic world that saw ‘precogs’ working with the Precrime division to root out crime – before it happens.

Also starring Max von Sydow and Samantha Morton, Minority Report grossed almost $360 million at the box office and, in the years since, has been reappraised as a sci-fi classic, as well as kicking off one of my favorite Tom Cruise runs, taking in everything from Collateral to The Last Samurai, and even his all-time bit-part role as Les Grossman in Tropic Thunder.
