I hope they sort their problems out and start releasing movies since the money is there. Good luck to them. It doesn’t seem like it was Tom Cruise’s problem.

The short of it is, Paula Wagner wants only so called quality movies, MGM wants anything that makes money. Paula will not green light rubbish, MGM will not greenlight sensible box office dud, thus the impasse. Actually Tom Cruise was not that involved in the process, he was working on the funding end of things. Remember the deal with Meryll Lynch is off if Cruise is not in. Cruise also wants to remain loyal to Paula. I say do all movies. Spielberg got a lot of flack for indiana Jones but it paid off at the box office even though the critics tore it apart. This business is like that. Rubbish sells. You can't afford to tie down $500 mil in this credit crunch.

I was strangely pleased when I read Roma's comment earlier - an outing for Tom the actor instead of Tom the controlling nutcase. There's still a good actor in there (rem. Magnolia and Collateral.) and I think you're spot on about him needing to relinquish control in order to get the best out of him. Agree 100%, czarina.

Cruise was doing great in his life and career until he fired his agents/managers/publicists and got the ego-soaked idea that the world would love him just as he is, no holding back. Surprise. Cruise strikes me as someone who does much better when he is being told what to do by a strong personality. (This explains the Scientology, as well). He needs to be TOLD what movie roles to take, what to say in interviews, etc. Why would anyone put this man, who makes terrible decisions on his own, in charge of a studio? Who picked 'Lions for Lambs'? What Cruise needs is LESS control and decision making.
