The Futurist Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Tom Cruise will do a crazy stunt on the Eiffel Tower in his late 60's for the trailer of Mission Impossible 10. #dedication Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catty 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. I really don't think it is healthy to gain weight at his age & honestly I don't want to see Fat Tom in a movie - maybe that makes me superficial but it's the truth!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidensSword 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Just because the original guy was a fatso so what? No one really knows him. Cruise has a signature smile, so a black teeth is good enough to get the required effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it would have made a huge difference, just that it would have been nice for Cruise to have a more drastic transformation for the role. The original guy was overweight and balding so obviously changing him to a chiselled good looking version of Cruise will give a different vibe to the character.

Catty Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Because the character he's based on is notably overweight so it would make sense. Didn't Clooney gain weight for Syriana around the same age? I don't know how healthy it is but superficial wise I would like to see a different side to him. Changing your appearance is part of acting imo, all Tom does these days is change his haircut. No Clooney was younger & still hurt himself very badly - his back needed an operation. I think acting is sufficient & dressing for the times - I don't need to see actors getting fat to believe the story - JMO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really talking about believing the story, Cruise is a good enough actor with or without drastic appearance changes. It's more of just wanting to see a different side to him in a serious dramatic role. Personally for me the less action and stunts in this the better, at least where Cruise is concerned. I've had my fill of action hero Cruise over the last few years, hoping this can bring a bit more balance to his 2010s C.V.

I don't really know what you were expecting, knowing that Cruise was involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HesAPooka Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Two people died on set today in a plane crash. Cruise was not on the plane having wrapped a scene prior in the day. A third person was seriously injured but survived.

HesAPooka Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 So this movie is supposed to open a week after Assassins Creed, and Passengers, and has The Dark Tower opening the week after it. Unless they anticipate some serious award nominations and wins that seems like a horrible release date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assassins Creed and The Dark Tower aren't guaranteed hits by any means They both may or may no be big hits but they have built in fan bases and might take away from people who are on the fence about Mena, unless of course it has big award buzz around it then it will be alright regardless. I want to see a 30-35m opening for Mena, and 4X multiplier which can happen with good reviews and award nominations/wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmac Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 This has not gotten any buzz although it's still several months away. When do you think we'll see the first trailer? It's a Universal flick so maybe Warcraft or Purge 3? We would have known about it if it was Neighbors 2 methinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancyarcher Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 Apparently this has been retitled American Made, and will start test-screening in a little bit. American Everything I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American Everything I guess. Where'd you hear that? Can't find anything on a title chance online. If true it makes sense. You have Patriots day coming out in limited release the week before trying to capitalize on the same crowd as American Sniper so you have to take away its thunder somehow. Plus the automatic tie in to past drug related movie American Gangster. Makes sense to throw American in there somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
