[...] For the past several months Cruise has been circling several high profile thrillers like David Cronenberg’s The Matarese Circle, Bharat Nalluri‘s The Tourist, Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’ The 28th Amendment and Len Wiseman’s Motorcade. All of these films went through multiple rewrites (costing several million dollars) to get them “Tom Ready“. [...]

WHAT?!!
Many script doctors have been making as much as $250,000 a week, for two-to-six week’s work on scripts and most of movies past 20 years were such craps & only few really histrically great ones ???? Maybe, it is time for slim down lazy & does not produce any great one to very talented, eager but dedicated script doctors to give a chances? Does anyone know that $250,000 a weeks is supposed to be reflect one’s past sales results histries & true public audiences reactions of the movies? Does anyone know why I’m not a writer? ’cause I can’t even write English! so, obviously I don’t get paid. It is that Simple. In this world finacial crisis economy, We don’t need people who is not really working but able to buy a multi million dollor houses & talking trashes. I’m not saying don’t even eat muffins at Wi-Fi coffee shop. Can they just produce any good scripts if they are getting paid?
What are they? really? Trash talking micro-chips installed blow-up dolls with laptops at WIFI coffee shop constantly asking around relationships without working at every public places & pretending to be as a some kind of intellectual person who are flashing card of ” I’m a script writer & workin’ for the Movie industries…have you heard of this movie brah brah..? yes! That was end up as a crappy movie! lol but I ‘m still getting paid about $250,000 a week… you know what I mean?… ”
Hey Now, That’s really crazy to me.

For the record, we did our script doctoring for free, because we love the movie.

Niall, I loved all the puns in your article; it gave me a much needed laugh. ;-)

I’ve always said that an actor’s personal life doesn’t affect why I would/would not see a film. Cruise is a nutcase but many of his films have been great. And I agree with Bill Blume, he should have gotten a nomination for “Last Samurai”.

The Matarese Circle would be a good choice.
its based on a novel By Bourne Identity author
Robert Ludlum.

I do think Cruise is an excellent actor. I’ve always felt he deserved an Oscar nomination for “The Last Samurai.” In a lesser actor’s hands, that film would have been very over-the-top.

And yes, some of his work is hit-or-miss, but his hits tend to really justify a lot of the gambles he’s taken, I think.

Awesome but also terrible ues of the puns. I loved it.

I’m not however a Cruise fan, his ego writes cheques his body can cash, He’s quite powerful for a midget.

tom cruise is a great actor i wouldnt mind seeing more of his films, however his greatest films were “top gun” and “war of the worlds”(imo), its just that people cant stop bashing him about being a scientologist.
