@Cameron

I can't argue with a single fact you've presented. But the point I was trying to get to is that Cruise has a box office draw, not nearly as big as it once was but he can still guarentee a sale while most of his competitors can't. Also even though certain people like Paramount dropped him a few years ago, they're back to doing business with him. Now as we agree, the motivation is money, no arguement there, but the point is he still has value or Paramount wouldn't have taken him back. There was a point when he would have played Ironman, but that never came to be, shame.

 

@Josh

Yeah, I'll admit I have a bit of a man crush on Cruise!

@Magi

There's no doubt that Cruise is eccentrc, but the point is he's still a big name and a big name is a big draw.

 

I remember when Paramount said they'd be dropping Cruise because of his "strange behaviour" and at around the same time the South Park guys did their episode where they lampooned Scientology and Cruise threatened to leave Paramount and not promote Mission: Impossible III if Paramount didn't get rid of the South Park episode or South Park altogether! Yet several years later here we are again, a new Mission: Impossible film and Paramount are apparently behind him again. It seems like people put the past behind them pretty easily when there's money to be made!

 

We'll see how the world reacts to Cruise we may yet see him on chat shows and magazine covers!

@Happy Robo: Tom Cruise lost a huge amount of credibility after his now-famous Oprah interview and the Scientology video he made a while back. The studio that had his contact actually cancelled on him for a few years. Since returning to film, the only success he has had is in Tropic Thunder, and that as a bit role.

 

So honestly, Cruise may still have a name, but it's not as strong as it once was.

Poster is kinda lame. Tom Cruise looks like a bad ass though. Think they dropped the ball on the poster design. They could have been more creative and showed the characters in hiding or something similar, that would portray the "ghost protocol" in a more visual way.

We're in need for a kick ass spy movie,i hope thats the one!!I digging the cast so far..

Why do people say that Tom Cruise has no credibility, he's still the biggest star in Hollywood whether you like it or not and he doesn't need job offers he finances his own film at this point!
