I have them read it to me.

I have them read it to me because I don’t want my ideas to invade it yet," said Tom.The Mission: Impossible actor is actively involved in the creative process behind the films."I want to understand what is their communication.

They’ve been working on it.

They have things that are just there.

So they come to me, and I just sit there, and I’m like, I want you to read it to me," said the Oscar winning actor.“We get to a place where I start to understand, and I’m like, I know how to contribute to that motion.

It sparks ideas," Tom continued.

"I have certain ideas, certain things I’d like to play with, and then I don’t necessarily talk about it; I just do it."The Top Gun star added, "I’m not going to sit here and say I’m going to do this, I’m going to do that.

I hear all the notes.

I know the lenses. know the choreography. know tonally what they’re going for.”For those unaware, Tom is currently gearing up for the release of his new film Digger.
