Tom Cruise to have another impossible mission

The last few Tom Cruise movies (Valkryie, Lions for Lambs) didn’t do as well as studios were hoping. Probably because he was killing his image with all his craziness. Now that he’s calmed down a little, the solution for getting back his popularity? Another Mission Impossible movie! Tom will star in the fourth installment. By the time the film hits theaters in 2011, Tom will already be 48. Hopefully he doesn’t break a hip.

The first Mission Impossible was released 14 years ago in 1996. Tom Cruise was much more spry back then. This time around the studio should budget for nap time and whatever else it is aging celebrities like to do. Reminisce about the old days when their assistants had to trudge through three miles of snow to get them coffee?

I don’t know who wrote this article because they didn’t post there name with it… But, it’s obvious that Cruise is a little nuts in his personal life. And yes, he’ll be 48 when he films MI:4.

You sit here behind your computer and rip him for making an MI:4…but Cruise has made some of the coolest movies of our generation…from Risky Business, to The Last Samurai, to Collateral (should have been Oscar nominated), Jerry Maguire, A Few… Read more »

I agree with the earlier poster. TC has done some great movies. Media lash out on him is plain silly. The man has money and of course he will have certain eccentricities but at the end of the day he is a great actor.
A really ridiculously way to write an article.
