Cruise is a bankable star, and Spielberg is a bankable director. I figure there's a reason they didn't work together for a long time, and a personal grudge makes more sense to me.

But business is business, and I'm indulging in Hollywood gossip. I just fucking loathe Scientology.

For similar reasons, my head canon has the space Mormons in The Expanse as that cult instead, and I love the effect it has on the story.
