Avatree Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Sounds good. Reacher 2 is confirmed as well, right. Never Back Go Back is actually a pretty decent thriller. Yeah, unfortunately Reacher 2 is happening. Good to see this is getting underway but Cruise is really forgetting his female audience. How so?

Fancyarcher Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) Will this be an awards contender? Depends on how it's received, but for now, I'd say yes. If it's well received, then Cruise possibly receive his fourth Oscar nomination. Edited April 23, 2015 by Fancyarcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidensSword Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) How so? Because most of his movies over the last decade have beem largely targeted at the adult male demographic Depends on how it's received, but for now, I'd say yes. If it's well received, then Cruise possibly receive his fourth Oscar nomination. I dont see any Oscars noms but Golden Globes maybe. Wouldn't mind being proven wrong though!

He's not 300 pounds, nor does he have a receding hairline, but eh, the look will do for now. Edited May 20, 2015 by Furiousarcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidensSword Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 ^ I was expecting something much more drastic look wise. Why would he change his appearance so much for rock of ages but not this? Some info about the financing behind the movie http://deadline.com/2015/05/paris-kasidokostas-latsis-hercules-tom-cruise-doug-liman-mena-natalie-portman-cannes-1201429559/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 I dunna. Maybe Cruise has just gotten a little lazy. Interesting information about the funding of this film. The Hercules film fund sounds like it has the potential to do a lot of decent things when it comes to the financing of "smaller-sized" pictures.

Yep, it will be interesting to if they stick around for the long haul or make a quick exit. Of course this being a hit or flop may impact that decision.

I think lazy and Cruise should never be in the same sentence, he is anything but lazy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 TC is one of the most dedicated actors out there. You may love him, you may hate him, but he is not lazy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Not to mention his prophet obligations. I'm not sure what that means. All I know is Cruise works hard at his craft. I don't know why he has to be made fun of because of his religion, that should have nothing to do with how hard he works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why he has to be made fun of because of his religion, that should have nothing to do with how hard he works. I am the biggest Tom Cruise fan there is. And I made a very liked post about how Cruise is one of the hardest working man in showbiz in the last 30 years. His movies always entertain me no matter what. If anything, when I make a reference to Tom belonging to the Scientology s church, it s me being a bit meta, making fun of people who mock Tom Cruise for his beliefs because yeah, other beliefs systems make so much more sense than scientology, suuuuure ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I don't get it, why should he change appearance drastically? Did an eejit just called the guy who held his breath 6mins underwater and strapped himself on the side of an airplane lazy? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 One freaky thing about Tom though : like Keanu Reeves, they don t seem to age. One funny thing about Tom Cruise, kinda related to the freaky one : the age of the actresses who portray his love interests, but that applies to other actors too, so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidensSword Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I don't know about lazy but it would have been interesting to see him put on a bit of weight for this role. It have made him look more like the person it's based on and maybe helped the character stand out more compared to the look of a lot of his recent roles, plus it would have gotten a fair bit of PR too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Why would he need to get fat for the role? Doubt that getting fat would be a great idea before Reacher 2 and Mission 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
