Well Crazy McCruise is returning to appear on Oprah, which he hasn’t been since his “jumping on the couch” assault inspired by his desire to explain how in love he was with Katie Homes. So maybe Tom Cruise is making an effort to restore his once strong reputation. So much media revolving around Cruise lately has been about his loony appearances and his failed Lions for Lambs and the unanticipated Valkyrie.
Tom needs a big hit. You know what that means. Yup, another Mission Impossible.
“Tom will make M:I 4 once Paramount greenlights the script. There will most definitely be another Mission: Impossible!”
When in the middle of a big career backlash, why choose edgy challenging (read: risky) films when you have a popular action franchise in your back pocket. Plus, foreign markets still love both Cruise and American action movies.
There is no denying that Cruise’s action flicks make money. Obviously the most financially successful of these have been the Mission Impossible films. So while he dabbles in his artsy “meaningful” films and strips another layer of respect off his public image, he might as well get one of these tentpoles lined up.
In the mean time, I hope that he tones it down and convinces everyone he isnt crazy. (Its ok if you are a nutjob Tom, we just don’t want to see it! We want to see the movies!)
