Did they like it? I kinda wonder.

 

Of course. Years ago Xi even said he was a big fan of Saving Private Ryan. He went to US in 2012 and watched MI4 with US officials.

Biggest Stunt in Cinema

And he did that 6 TIMES

 

Not one time and that's it, 6 times repeating the biggest stunt in cinema

[Verrows]

Most anticipated film of 2023 for me!

what cruise is doing is simply ridiculous but I like this marketing technique. Builds up hype organically months before the release. If Chris Mcq has written a tight script like what he normally does, I have no doubt this will be the biggest MI movie domestic. WW depends on how strong $ is during its release and if china will allow it.

Amazing stuff.  I'm convinced Cruise will be pulling a Harry Houdini for M:I8 and burying himself underground or underwater in chains and literally resurrecting himself.  (Oh wait, that was another movie...)  What else could top this???  Except Space...and he's doing that separately with Doug Liman!

It's pretty wild how successful the stunt hyping has worked for the franchise the past decade+. But it does show fundamentally how much love and care goes into these movies. People really like them because they can feel they are extremely well made and considered, even if ultimately they are big dumb fun action movies!

4,5,6 are way more intelligent than the standard big budget action movie.

That's it. I'm converting to Scientology. The guy has clearly cracked some sort of code that I haven't in my sad, secular Jewish life.

Bingo. There is a strong sense of quality control when it comes to these movies. These aren't assembly line products.

He's going to kill himself on set one day.

Spot on about the marketing. I said in the tracking thread that what the box office still needs is better marketing from studios. Paramount putting out the first trailer a year ahead and continuing the marketing from there makes it feel like a big deal! Studios need to give people reasons to care about these movies and that starts with the studios themselves caring. Make your movies a big deal!

Cruise is the GOAT. His passion for movies, seek for excellence and aim to give the audience a thrill at all cost is unpararrelled.

[Hatebox]

That video's been shared by so many non-movie people on my twitter. Cruise is a walking marketing machine.

There's a reason Paramount confidently dropped the trailer a year in advance with Top Gun: Maverick at a time when studios are moving to short term blitz marketing. They know Tom Cruise projects can be event movies and marketed as a big deal.

 

Shared the stunt video with a bunch of friends and family and a lot of them actually called me or texted after, going "That's so cool" or "I loved Top Gun, can't wait to see this too!".

 

Tom impresses people, as do his projects.
