His Career = Over!

Filed under: Film Flickers > Tom Cruise

tomwillsci.jpg

Tom Cruise's career is on the decline and he doesn't seem to know it!

According to a new report, Tommy boy lost the lead role in Columbia's pix flick Edwin A. Salt.

What? Why would someone turn down Tom Cruise???

Well, producers didn't want to pay the fee Tom was demanding.

Looks like Hollywood doesn't think he's worth the $20 million per pic he used to get!

The studio is supposedly eyeing Tom's friend Will Smith as the man to take on the lead.

Aw…will that spark a lover's quarrel?

    I think the attacks on Tom Cruise in the tabloids and even the main stream media are just really unfair. Of course all these years of negative publicity are going to effect your public image. It's not going to make people like you more that's for sure. It's as if the media in concerted effort is working really hard to try and destroy this man, his career and his family. What happened to decency and fairness in reporting? Leave the guy alone. What's your beef with him anyway?

    Huzzah! There is justice in this world. Tom Cruise is a cook who doesn't believe in post-partum depression or a woman's right to make noise when pushing a baby out of her nether-regions. If Kharma exists, this is it….

    He ruined himself with his crazeeee $cienscatology bibble babble. Bless his misguided little heart…he's not very bright to begin with and he tries so hard to "be an authority" on everything and he's a fool everytime he opens his mouth. And poor little Katie is being dragged down with him. Her career is over and it had hardly begun. I personally do not see movies that have $cientologist actors/actresses. I try hard not to put $$$ into the hands of that cult.

    And to quote Tom Cruise from his Scientology videos:"I know, uh…you know, that's powerful. When you know you are the only one who can help. Wheeeew. He He He He. You know. Maaaaaan! He He He He."

    Re: Herma – Herma, No one cares. They waste their time and money with these press releases. We don't care if he or isn't in the movie. Read the posts. Get it?

    Cruise is so OVER. When he started preaching to the world about how to live their lives and then topped it off with that wacked out Scientology video about how his religion is the only one that can save people and knows whats best for everyone, he was DONE. No one can picture him as anything other than a crazy zealot nutcase with a huge ego. Anybody under the age of 40 laughs at him. Hang is up Cruise. You screwed your own career when you opened your ignorant mouth. You're getting what's coming to you!

    Not being right for a particular part doesn't mean a career is 'over.' That's a ridiculous and overly dramatic statement designed purely to shit stir.

    It doesn't matter if he's up for a role or not. Look at the posts. People are not going to hand over their movie going money to his tax free cult. Cruise lobbies politicians on Capital Hill in favor of this cult i.e., "freedom of religion." Texas is the first state to delist the cult of Scientology from being a tax exempt religion, as Germany has done. ALL other states need to follow suit.

    So while I agree with most of what has been posted I have to say that many will be surprised…since most don't know he's even in it…that Tom's preformance in the upcoming 'Tropic Thunder' is being said to be hysterical and possibly career saving. You may not recognize him, but those that have previewed the movie…and mostly feel the same as many on this site…have admitted to loving his character / performance. You gotta see it to believe!! Save Suri!!!

    Religious fanaticism is a definite turnoff for me.
    He held very little appeal for me to begin with,
    then after he discovered scientology he went totally cuckoo.
    That's what ruined–killed–his career & made Paramount fire him.

    I heard that Katie is so brainwashed that she now prays to the skidmarks in Toms tiny underpants.

    i saw his performance in tropic thunder on thursday night at the grove and he was almost unrecognizable. but he was a hardass and he was hilarious! he's had a fat suit put on, and is balding, and he swears like no one else. he dances too! i think this performance shows a side of tom cruise that no one has ever seen before and it might change people's opinions of him.

    hollywood and celebrities are all fuckin sick in the head. why does one person need 20 million dollars. fuck tom cruise. He has enough money. with all the problems in this world…they should be shellling out 20 mill to people who really need it. not ppl who already have 45 homes,344 cars and 43 maids

    Re: tims – …..IF HE WOULD JUST SUCK A DICK ON CAMERA, I WOULD SAY IT WAS TRANSCENDENT TYPE CASTING, A TRUE REFLECTION OF HIS EGO.
    ……….AND A DAMNED GOOD REASON TO AVOID "TROPIC THUNDER"……SORRY BEN.

    Tom has squandered whatever credibility and promise he had by aligning himself with the wackos and nutjobs in the Scientology cult. Yes, it's a cult. Get your head out of your ass and get over it already.

    Problem is Will Smith is more expensive than $20 Million, he charges $28 Million and a cut of the box office.
    Also, I hear Will doesn't star in anything his company doesn't produce.
    Also, Charlize has to approve first.

    Will Smith Hancock Box Office both USA and foreign $400million dollars, he is the biggest movie star in the world now.
    The studios would do anything Will Smith wants even to hire Cruise, one Sony Studio executive said "it's good to be in the Will Smith business".

    My only problem with tom and Will is, they are rich guys living in mansions and will never have to worry about my kind of problems, I will probably never see a million dollars in my life time. They live in a different world from the world I know.
    These guy are like the Hollywood mafia, as a group they control what happens in Hollywood.
