Kubrick did just about every genre: SciFi , Horror, Historical, war, etc but didn't do an 80s/90s style action thriller

EWS could've been that movie

Simply rejig the script so the syndicate (lets call them that) kidnap Nicole, so Cruise has to go back to the mansion and take out the bad guys in an everyman action way - basically Die Hard in a mansion full of high society sexual deviants . set at Christmas

1 ~ if it's a Die Hard clone, duh on "set at Christmas".
2~ your whole concept (1 aside) is pure genius.
Imagine Cruise infiltrating the mansion and some naked old dude with a mask attacks him with his hard on. That's some crazy action better than Easter Promises right there.
And it's an endless ocean of one liners, like "Nailed you!" or " Say hello to my little friend".
