ShadowDog Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Mock his insanity all you want, and I do, but as Driver noted he commits. What he puts on screen is always awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowDog Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 As long as he doesn't go full Tropic Thunder it should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Torch Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Tom Cruise as Dash Rendar, from the one EU novel George read and liked. ;-)Tom Cruise is awesome, we can mince words about his "religion", we can wonder about "beards", but he is only polite and gracious to his fans and totally owns his roles.So he jumped on Oprah's Couch. My wife once said, if she was having sex with Katie Holmes she'd be jumping on Oprah's Couch too. I said really?! And she said, "Down boy! Not happening."

Doze Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 He can be over the top in his roles. As a lead role he is good but just can't see him not taking the scene. Will be very happy to say I was wrong but this one is like hearing Jar Jar was seen in London with JJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metropolis Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I'm surprised Sam Jackson hasn't found a way to get into this movie. I mean him and Morgan Freeman are in every third or fourth movie put out these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Torch Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I think you're mistaken, it's Laurence Fishburne that is in every third or fourth movie nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas1138 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I'm assuming this has nothing to do with a role in Star Wars, but just for the sake of the thread... Tom Cruise is a-okay by me. No one wants you to enjoy a Tom Cruise movie more than Tom Cruise. The only negative would be thinking "Hey, that's Tom Cruise!" every time his character is on screen.

Driver Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Settle down people, JJ is still an exec producer on the Mission Impossible franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Human Torch Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Tom was on Graham Norton recently, his show... but maybe I dunno... anyway, Tom explained "they" (him and "others") are kicking up to a higher production level on the next Mission Impossible film.

Transducer X Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I would love to see Tom Cruise play a totally evil, merciless Sith in a Star Wars movie. I think that'd be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one wants you to enjoy a Tom Cruise movie more than Tom Cruise. The only negative would be thinking "Hey, that's Tom Cruise!" every time his character is on screen.I personally think this could just as easily be about Star Trek 3, or something else. I'm not a Tom Cruise fan, but I think he usually does a pretty decent job in his roles. No one thought he could pull off Oblivion, or even Interview with a vampire, but they were pretty good movies. If Tom Cruise was in a Star Wars movie, I'd be A-OK with it. But you do have a point: his stardom would be a distraction....unless he played a non-human character. I could see Cruise playing a Twi'lek, Zabrak, or some other near human alien, doing a good job, and due to the make up or CGI, not being a distraction.

Driver Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Again-- JJ produces the Mission Impossible movies. But to your point that Cruise could play a part hidden behind make up or effects... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to your point that Cruise could play a part hidden behind make up or effects... You're probably right Driver, it probably is about another Mission Impossible movie, but even if it isn't, its not the end of the world if Cruise is in a Star Wars movie. The guy is a veteran actor at this point, and I think he could be a good jedi OR Sith character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 He's so polarizing. People hear his name and are recoil instantly because of his Scientology whackadoo BS. But name me one movie where he isn't fully invested and amped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue 3 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Agreed - he puts everything into it. I have no probs at all if he was to feature. Never crossed my mind before that he would even be interested in being a part of the series. He always has a few projects he is working on, be it acting and/or producing.He is a damn fine actor.

Mara Jade Skywalker Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Tom Cruise being in Star Wars would honestly be less jarring than Tyler Perry and Winona Ryder being in Star Trek 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RelentlessMalice Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 He is devoted to his work. He just hasnt been the same since Eyes wide shut and his split with Kidman. Hes made some good movies. If i judged every actor or celeb o their personal opinions or religion i would never watch tv or go to the movies again which pretty much means I am dead without the two.
