Tom Cruise Leaves 'Man From U.N.C.L.E.' to Focus on 'Mission: Impossible 5′

Mike Sampson — Fri, 24 May 2013 17:21:55 +0000

Just a few months before filming was scheduled to begin, Tom Cruise has abruptly left Warner Bros. planned remake of the classic 60s TV series 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.' But one one action-packed remake of an old spy TV show's loss is another's gain. Cruise will instead focus his attention on 'Mission: Impossible 5' which is now gearing up to begin production later this year.

We haven't seen a trailer yet for Noam Murro's '300' prequel '300: Rise of an Empire' and now there's a very good reason why not. Today, Warner Brothers bumped the film into 2014, which caused Tom Cruise's 'All You Need is Kill' to move its release date as well.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Oblivion' Obliterates the Competition

Jacob Hall — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 18:47:44 +0000

Tom Cruise and science fiction are a powerful combination. Although the opening weekend of 'Oblivion' didn't break any records big or small, it's a more than solid start for a non-franchise, non-sequel, non-reboot. That's a sad statement on the current state of Hollywood, but that's another topic for another day.

'Oblivion' Review

Todd Gilchrist — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 10:43:38 +0000

'Oblivion' is best described as opportunity, squandered. Its landscape – conceptual and physical – feels remarkably unique and bursting with possibilities, but the exploration of both lacks originality, and energy. Joe Kosinski’s follow-up to 'TRON: Legacy' is, like its predecessor, a gorgeously mounted, inventive world-building endeavor, but it’s also equally bloodless -- ponderous without being thoughtful, ambitious without being inspired, much less inspiring. The chronicle of a battle for the fate of humankind that possesses little humanity of its own, 'Oblivion' is an overstuffed compendium of familiar genre tropes rendered with ornamental beauty but not much emotional depth.

Tom Cruise Going Sci-Fi Again with 'Yukikaze'

Britt Hayes — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 00:35:31 +0000

‘Oblivion‘ is hitting theaters this week, but Tom Cruise is already lining up yet another big sci-fi project — this time it’s ‘Yukikaze’ over at Warner Bros.

Tom Cruise's 'Jack Reacher' is Heading for a Sequel

Damon Houx — Sat, 23 Feb 2013 00:30:11 +0000

December is often a surprising month at the box office as many films that never top the box office end up making a lot of money. The Tom Cruise vehicle 'Jack Reacher' opened right before Christmas and had a $15 million opening weekend. Sounds weak right? And yet the picture has grossed nearly $80 million domestically, and over $200 million worldwide. Which is why Paramount is talking about a sequel.

First 'Oblivion' TV Spot Stars Tom Cruise, Robots and Explosions

Jacob Hall — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 01:36:02 +0000

How is it that the new TV spot for 'Oblivion' somehow manages to look more epic and exciting than full theatrical trailer? There's no denying it -- there's tons of scope and promise in this 40 second spot, enough to actually make us excited for a movie by the guy who made the sleeping pill known as 'Tron Legacy.' Watch the trailer embedded below.

'Jack Reacher' Review

Matt Singer — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 13:40:21 +0000

If he hadn't already used that title for another movie, Tom Cruise could have easily called 'Jack Reacher' 'The Last Samurai.' There's a bit of Toshiro Mifune's Sanjuro in this Reacher guy: the masterless warrior who strides into a corrupt town, answers to no one, rights a few wrongs, busts a few heads, and wanders away to find his next challenge. He has no possessions; he owns exactly two shirts and one jacket. All he carries with him is a roll of $100 bills, a passport, a toothbrush, and his inflexible moral code. He would have fit right in back in feudal Japan. Or the Old West, for that matter. He'd make a hell of a Man With No Name.
