This employee was assigned to find filming locations for scenes, including one depicting a train accident, but his plans were not realized in the film.
The former employee has begun suing Cruise, McQuarrie and Paramount Studios, making a number of allegations. In it, there are some details related to finances and the investor behind Tom Cruise. This former employee even proposed that the FBI investigate.
