Tom Cruise Hits Back

November 2nd 2006 22:45

After being dropped by Paramount Studios in August, Tom has hit back with an announcement that he has signed on with MGM Studios to resurrect the United Artists movie studio.

Under the agreement, Tom will star in and produce films for the studio.

Cruise, and longtime partner Paula Wagner will set the production agenda for the studio and be able to develop projects (within agreed parameters).

You know what they say Tom, actions speak louder than words. Produce some good films and the public will be happy to overlook your quirkyness once again.

Risky move and stupid move by Paramount to drop him I remember an interview on A Current Affair with one of the reps from Paramount when he was dropped and think it was Tracy Grimshaw who mentioned hes had however many of the highest grossing films of all time or something, cant rememeber the exact number.

Never really had anything against Tom, seems like a genuinely nice guy

I went off him years ago. But it is surprising that Paramount dropped him, as movie studios are all about dollars. And he can bring in those dollars. So to say he was embarassing to the studio is a bit much. Hell, movie studio allow Paris Hilton to feature in the odd movie.....and she's plenty embarassing. lol. Maybe his box-office sales were dropping as well? Eh, who knows.

I wonder if this new incarnation of United Artists will continue it's positioning as an art-house studio, or whether Tom will push it towards blockbuster-type movies.

I love Tom Cruise, I think he's highly underrated as an actor.
I don't really care about his life outside of the screen. He's done some tops work.

'Collateral'
'Interview with a Vampire'
'Born on the 4th of July'
'Magnolia'
'The Last Samurai'
'Vanilla Sky'
are all movies I enjoyed immensely.

even 'War of the Worlds' and 'Jerry Maguire' were pretty decent.

Get stuffed.
Sure Tom Cruise may a bit of an oddity, but he is EASILY the most bankable actor today.
Tom could be put in a movie that would generally flop, yet turn it into a blockbuster.
This lad doesn't just get payed mega dollars because he demands it, he gets it because he makes it back and more for the movie company. Paramount are retards

The most bankable actor is Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp may be awesome. But there is no way his movies gross more than Tom Cruise's

I beg to differ, pirates of the carribean ring any bells?

compare that to 'mi3' which took number one spot only because of hype, dropped all over the world in standings the very next week.

I was well aware that Pirates when I responded. And yes, both movies did incredibly well(some of my favorite movies), but its yet to be seen if that translates into his other movies also doing that well. Johnny Depp is a great actor, I like him more than Tom Cruise, for sure. However, time will tell.

Whatever he might be in his private life, on screen Tom Cruise is one of the greatest actors. I love all the movies I've seen him act in and I would probably go to see any movie in which he plays. As for Johnny Depp, he is great as well but in another way. There is simply no comparison between the two, they are different in two good different ways.

Your right, Tom Cruise is the short little character who couldn't act outside his signature role of too big for this world ego super hero.

Johnny depp has some flexibility, he can play varied roles as a crazy (ridicilously entertaining) pirate all the way down to a paranoid writer and win oscars for both.

Tom Cruise has a natural screen presence that can't be fabricated. He's like this era's John Wayne - a true superstar. Cruise has done a lot to stretch his talent too.

I love that Tom Cruise polarises people.

As much as I love Johnny Depp and don't necessarily like Tom Cruise, I have to say that when it comes to money spinning, Tom has Johnny beat. Up until Pirates, Johnny always did the lower budget quirky flicks. Tom did those big blockbusters that bought in hundreds of millions of dollars. Johnny was the better actor, but Tom bought in the crowds (the one exception was Magnolia. I hated hated hated that movie, but damn did Tom Cruise prove he could act or what???).

I definitely think the tide is turning towards Johnny now that he's embraced the blockbuster though.

I loved Johnny Depp in whats Eating Gilbert Grape...your right he has always done those quirky movies...which might not necessarily have the big budgets but always a good storyline

He was great in that movie. Actually, everyone in that movie was really good.

I think the fact that Johnny has always done those quirky films is part of his appeal.

He was great in that movie. Anyone who claims that he can't act needs to watch Gilbert Grape and The Basketball Diaries. Have you seen that movie. Pretty horrific, but damn is he good in it.

Leonardo is underrated too.

He was perfectly cast in 'Catch Me If You Can' and he's pretty much one of the best things in 'The Departed'.

Aviator was good work too
