For Tom Cruise, the Mission Impossible franchise is like the loyal wife that will stick by your side through thick and thin, while every other project is just a beautiful one night stand. So don’t blame Tom Cruise for bailing out of THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. in order to focus on MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 5, which [...]
JACK REACHER is based off Lee Child’s book “One Shot”, which was actually the eighth book in the Jack Reacher series. And maybe that’s why the film feels like a sequel. In fact, JACK REACHER would have made a great sequel since the film is set up just like what you’d expect a sequel to [...]
You can file this one under the “well, obviously” category. Tom Cruise has officially signed on to star in MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 5, marking a return to the lucrative franchise for both Cruise, Paramount and Skydance Productions. Cruise is the first domino to fall into place, but expect a director and a screenwriter to be announced [...]
First it was THE LONE RANGER (set to hit theaters July 3rd), now it appears Armie Hammer has signed on to another classic television show adapted for the big screen in THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. To make things even more familiar, still up and coming Armie Hammer joined a huge star in Johnny Depp for [...]
After decades of war between humans and alien invaders called Scavs, the earth is rendered nearly useless. Earth won the war but the use of nukes and military warfare has destroyed the world to unsafe standards. After evacuating earth’s people to a more inhabitable place on one of Saturn’s moons, an “effective team” of Jack [...]
Based on a series of Japanese sci-fi novels by Chohel Kamayashi, YUKIKAZE is being adapted by Warner Bros., who has just signed on mega star Tom Cruise as the lead. Yukikaze takes place during the early 21st Century where an alien force, using a dimensional porthole, has invaded and inhabited earth the past thirty years. [...]
I’m anxious to see what Joseph Kosinski has in store for us with his Tom Cruise starring OBLIVION, which hits theaters in a few short weeks. Today we have a new IMAX poster for the film, which features Tom Cruise standing on a dock of some sort, overlooking earth. In the film, Tom Cruise stars [...]
THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. for the longest time was supposed to be another teaming of director Steven Soderbergh and star George Clooney, but Soderbergh and Clooney couldn’t see eye to eye with Warner Bros. and so both of them left the project, only to see it fall in project wasteland until Guy Ritchie picked it [...]
Another new trailer for Tom Cruise’s upcoming film OBLIVION has been released, and it’s really tough to not be intrigued by the film. The science fiction movie follows a veteran soldier who is sent to a planet where he is tasked to destroy the remains of an alien race. When there he comes upon a [...]
Let’s get this out of the way right off the bat; there was absolutely no reason to convert TOP GUN to 3D. It seems completely frivolous and even illogical when you remember that the film is over 25 years old and was obviously never intended for the format. Even though I’ve always enjoyed TOP GUN, [...]
As promised, today we get a brand new, longer trailer for Tom Cruise‘s upcoming science fiction adventure, OBLIVION. And maybe I’m biased because I’m a Tom Cruise fan and a science fiction fan, but I think it looks great. This trailer hyped the mystery/conspiracy aspect of the film more, along with all the action, making [...]
For some reason, JACK REACHER didn’t connect with American audiences, even though it was a great, fun action movie featuring a stand-up performance from Tom Cruise. Hopefully, Tom Cruise’s next effort, OBLIVION, will find a bigger audience. To date, we don’t really know a whole lot about the film outside of the standard synopsis, which [...]
Even though OBLIVION still has three months before it opens in theaters, it appears that there will be a lot of promotional material on the horizon. Last Friday we saw a new image and now we’re seeing the first of what will probably be many television spots for the sci-fi action film starring Tom Cruise. [...]
The promotions seem to be ramping up for the next Tom Cruise film called OBLIVION, which hits theaters this spring. Today another new photo has been released and Tom Cruise looks to be running from something, hopefully his helicopter isn’t about to blow up as that would just be too obvious. OBLIVION follows a man [...]
Tom Cruise has really been packing some action films into his resume lately. In 2011 he had MISSION: IIMPOSSIBLE – GHOST PROTOCOL, last year he had JACK REACHER, this year we’ll see him in OBLIVION and in 2014 he has ALL YOU NEED IS KILL lined up. Today we’re getting a look at a scene [...]
Surprisingly, even from the opening moments where all you do is follow a van through the streets and bridges of Pittsburgh, you will be sucked into the entertaining ride that is JACK REACHER. After a sniper kills five random strangers in broad daylight, the wrong man is accused of this heinous crime. When the District [...]
In less than ten days Lee Child’s famous character, JACK REACHER, will be on the big screen portrayed by Tom Cruise. Another international trailer has been circulating the internet and honestly it still makes the film look fun. There have been a lot of criticisms about Tom Cruise playing the character, but it was revealed [...]
Even the most jaded movie fans have to admit that a Tom Cruise led movie is usually a safe bet. Sure, there are some LIONS FOR LAMBS and KNIGHT AND DAYs out there, but most of the actor’s resume is pretty impressive. So I can’t help but be excited about Tom Cruise starring in a [...]
In five months we’ll get to see another Tom Cruise film (remember that JACK REACHER opens in a couple of weeks), but this time it’s a sc-fi adventure. Today we’re getting a look at the new poster for OBLIVION from director Joseph Kosinski (TRON: LEGACY) and as far as posters go this one isn’t too [...]
JACK REACHER hits theaters in less than 20 days, so it’s only natural that marketing has gone into overdrive. Today we’re getting a new international trailer that is narrated in Japanese, but has some new footage so give that a look, but even better is the new clip that has been released. I feel like [...]
Paramount has released another featurette for JACK REACHER and this little clip gives us a little more back story on who Jack Reacher (played by Tom Cruise) is. We’ve seen part of this clip several times, but the majority of it is new. It looks like Jack Reacher has had quite a painful past as [...]
A new featurette on the upcoming film JACK REACHER has been released and this time we get to hear a little from the author/creator of the Jack Reacher character, Lee Child. A lot of Jack Reacher fans have expressed their dismay at the thought of Tom Cruise playing their beloved character, but Lee Child thinks [...]
Another batch of set photos have been released for one of Tom Cruise‘s upcoming films called ALL YOU NEED IS KILL, but unfortunately this time we don’t get to see him in his Megaman inspired suit but he is still in some kind of uniform. ALL YOU NEED IS KILL is based on the novel [...]
As an avid reader, I always find it entertaining to see pages come to life in the form of TV or movie; to see someone else’s interpretation of a tale come into fruition. The phrase “the book was better” has always rubbed me the wrong way, because the book will always be better. The characters [...]
With JACK REACHER coming out next month and two more Tom Cruise movies on the way (ALL YOU NEED IS KILL and OBLIVION), it’s time we start looking towards the next installment in the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE franchise, don’t you think? Well, whether or not you agree that there needs to be another adventure for Ethan [...]
A new photo of Tom Cruise running from an explosion in a robot-like suit had been circulating the internet for about 12 hours, but until now I wasn’t sure it was really from the film ALL YOU NEED IS KILL. However, the photo does appear legit and has been confirmed by Warner Bros. Pictures. So [...]
TOP GUN 2 was one of those films that was on its way to production, but with the tragic events surrounding the late director Tony Scott, the film has officially fallen apart. It’s no surprise that Tom Cruise wouldn’t want to do another film without the guy who made it such a hit, but fear [...]
Tom Cruise‘s public relations woes seem like distant memories these days as the actor is lining up big-time projects over the next several years. With the hugely successful (and great) MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – GHOST PROTOCOL, Tom Cruise has had directors and studios calling him like nothing ever happened. He has JACK REACHER coming this Christmas, [...]
I think the people out there that are upset Tom Cruise was cast as Jack Reacher because he’s too short and doesn’t “look” the part will probably continue to pout in their corners, but for the rest of us, we can now officially get excited to see Tom Cruise in another tough-guy role. The new [...]
With an international JACK REACHER poster featuring a giant Tom Cruise head released a couple of weeks ago, a domestic poster coming today and a new trailer due to hit online this week, the marketing push for JACK REACHER is in full swing. It’s unfortunate that almost everything we’ve heard so far regarding the film [...]
It’s hard to muster anything but a shrug when reading the news that Universal still wants to try to reboot their Van Helsing franchise. I get a little excited at the prospect of Tom Cruise taking over the lead, only because I have confidence he’ll ensure it gets made properly. But I don’t find Van [...]
ROCK OF AGES is a slight variation of movies we’ve seen before, most recently with BURLESQUE, which was basically a remake of SHOWGIRLS. In this case, Julianne Hough plays Sherrie, a small-town girl looking for fame and fortune in LA in 1987. Predictably, she gets robbed right away and then meets up with a struggling [...]
It must be the unofficial week for new trailers and new posters as yet another one has been released. This international poster for the upcoming Tom Cruise film JACK REACHER features the title character (played by Tom Cruise obviously) in a close-up photo where part of his face is shadowed and he has a cut [...]
A new photo from the upcoming Tom Cruise film, JACK REACHER has been released and this time Tom Cruise looks to be chatting it up with co-star Rosamund Pike (who plays Helen Rodin, the attorney defending Jack Reacher’s framed friend) in what looks like a police station. Since I’m not familiar with the series I’m [...]
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has announced that the rock musical comedy ROCK OF AGES (click the link to read the review), starring Tom Cruise, Julianne Hough, Diego Boneta, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Alec Baldwin, Russell Brand, Mary J. Blige and Bryan Cranston, will be available in a Triple Play edition Blu-ray on October 8th, 2012. Directed by [...]
There’s been a lot of talk from fans of the Jack Reacher series that Tom Cruise was an awful choice for the title character in the film JACK REACHER. Since this writer hasn’t read any of the books it’s tough for me to say one way or the other, but I do think that despite [...]
I was about to call it a night and head off to bed when I checked the news one last time and learned that Tony Scott fell to his death at the age of 68. Although I was barely awake enough to read the article, let alone write anything, I couldn’t help but take the [...]
Tom Cruise is planning on heading up a remake the 1960 Western THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (which was also a remake of Akira Kurosawa’s SEVEN SAMURAI) and has found a screenwriter to do his bidding work with him on the script. Nic Pizzolatto (TRUE DETECTIVE) has been tasked by MGM to bring THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN back [...]
Extracting intriguing plot points from the framework of a pro sport’s story is not exactly asking the impossible. Those kinds of tales pretty much write their own first drafts and the most difficult portion of filming is trying to mirror the authenticity of the real-life action in the game. However, when the game gets smaller, [...]
When looking back on Tom Cruise’s early films, many people will point to RISKY BUSINESS, TOP GUN or even THE COLOR OF MONEY as indications that Cruise was going to become one of the biggest international superstars of all time. For me, however, COCKTAIL is proof of his superstardom, not because the movie is good, [...]
Last Friday, entertainment gossip outlets were given a nice little present when Katie Holmes officially filed for divorce from her husband of six years, Tom Cruise. As further information has started to come out, we now all assume it’s because of the growing weirdness/creepiness of the Church of Scientology. This has also led to a [...]
On Sunday, we showed you the international JACK REACHER trailer and unfortunately, it was in Russian, so we couldn’t understand what was being said. But even in Russian, we could tell that Tom Cruise was playing a tough guy that’s seemingly out for vengeance. Today we get the English language version of the trailer which [...]
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes may be going through what will inevitably turn into a nasty divorce, but that’s not going to stop Paramount from capitalizing on the hype by showing us a glimpse of JACK REACHER. The film doesn’t hit theaters until Christmas, but it’s never too early to get the stink of ROCK [...]
Though I’m not terribly familiar with the stories of the Lee Child novels about Jack Reacher, I know they are incredibly popular which is why there is going to be a movie based on the books starring Tom Cruise. When I told my Jack Reacher friends that Tom Cruise would be portraying their beloved character [...]
She’s just a small town girl and he’s just a city boy, both meeting on the Sunset Strip in 1987 Los Angeles. As long as they “Don’t Stop Believin’” in their dreams of becoming musicians and their love for one another, Sherrie (Julianne Hough) and Drew (Diego Boneta) will be able to overcome all the [...]
If you were at Cannes this past week, you may have caught a glimpse of this promo poster for JACK REACHER. Then you may have been confused because you weren’t aware that Tom Cruise was starring in a movie called “Jack Reacher”. But no, there’s no secret Tom Cruise movie in the works (that we [...]
I’ve stood by Tom Cruise a long time, even through his crazy couch jumping days, weird Scientoloy stuff and even KNIGHT AND DAY. So I was as pleased as could be when Tom Cruise redeemed himself with the incredible MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – GHOST PROTOCOL. With the huge success of that film, TC now has his [...]
Although I’m very much a fan of hers now, I have to admit that it took me a while to jump on the Emily Blunt bandwagon. I appreciated her supporting turns in films like THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA and SUNSHINE CLEANING, but it wasn’t until her starring opposite Matt Damon in THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU that [...]
I’m a huge Tom Cruise fan, I enjoy musicals and I’m an 80′s music junkie, so on paper, ROCK OF AGES was made for people like me. But something about mixing all of these ingredients doesn’t quite work, at least not in the two trailers we’ve seen so far. It’s like mixing ice cream, sushi [...]
It’s halftime, Clint Eastwood and your long gestating remake of A STAR IS BORN has been passed over by Will Smith, Robert Downey Jr., Leonardo DiCaprio and Christian Bale among others. Do you give up, or do you keep fighting? Well, if you’re Clint Eastwood, you keep fighting and so yet another A-list male lead [...]
