Here are some photos of Tom Cruise on the set of All You Need Is Kill, and I really like this shot of Tom’s sheepish face as he’s caught wearing the most obvious lifts in existence. Also and at first glance, I was wondering why it these set pictures looked like reshoots for the scenes shot in London’s Trafalgar Square over Thanksgiving weekend. Then I remembered that this movie is supposed to be like Groundhog Day with an alien-invasion twist. That is, Tom plays a solder who is killed in battle and trapped in a time loop, wherein he is forced to relive the circumstances surrounding his death until he can figure out how to survive in battle against the aliens.
Of course, this movie’s theme sounds an awful lot like Tom’s other upcoming alien-invasion flick (Xenu much, Tom?), Oblivion, which has already arrived with a ridiculous trailer that involves Tom’s character being tasked with “the fate of humanity in his hands.” But in that particular movie, there can’t possibly be anything nearly as hilarious as what we’ve seen so far from All You Need, which has already bestowed us with a film still of Tom wearing a robot suit and crapping in his pants.
In this movie, Emily Blunt plays a highly decorated U.S. special forces soldier, and in a somewhat shocking move, Emily was photographed holding a gun to Tom’s head while the cameras rolled. Her character, Rita, is also supposed to be caught up in the same time loop as Tom’s so I am assuming that she’s helping the loop close yet another cycle during this part of the story. But I could be wrong.
Now for the amusing part of this story, which is about as likely as Brad Pitt boning that soldier/actress on the set of World War Z. According to the Mail, Tom has yet another mystery lady (see below), this time a blonde, on his current film set. The Mail even has a slightly different picture of what they claim is Tom going in for a smooch, but I think this lady is probably merely a production assistant or some sort of Scientology chick. Whatever the case, she’s definitely not Tom’s type because really doesn’t look like a 20-something girl that is into dirty dancing at clubs. Oh, that wacky Tom and his many mystery ladies.
Incidentally, Katie Holmes might have actually scored herself a real mystery man, according to Page Six. Katie was spotted bowling and enjoying some beers with a guy in Hell’s Kitchen. While the two supposedly looked like “just friends,” I’m rooting for Katie to score. God knows she’s overdue by several years on that end, and I do believe this story for one reason only: Katie was wearing “floral overalls.” She would totally do that.

Sure. Did he have a beard or was he clean shaved?
I don’t understand why he keeps doing interchangeable action movies. As crazy as he is, he’s put out some good performances. Jerry Maguire was one of my faves. I guess it would be hard, though, to take him seriously after all this Scientology craziness has come to light. I haven’t seen a new movie of his since “Collateral,” and have no plans to see this BS, even if the awesome Emily Blunt is in it.
Totally agree. I think his best performances have been quirky bit parts – Magnolia and Tropic Thunder spring to mind. He should do more of those cheeky drop-in roles and less of the schmalzy lead role action flicks.
Cocktail was not bad also – wonder what Brian Brown is these days.
It’s his giant ego that makes him take these ridiculous alpha male parts.
I laughed out loud, and when I say laugh, I mean a *huge* belly laugh when I saw a clip from the Jack Reacher film. It’s ridiculous he gets cast in these roles.
Amelia is right. It’s all about his ego. He wants to remain relevant as a box office star, and will continue to make ridiculous action movies in order to prove he is the # 1 movie star in the world. If he had stuck to doing roles like Born of the 4th of July and Magnolia,his career probably be on a much different trajectory.The industry kisses his ass because he makes Hollywood a lot of money, but he is considered a joke by
many.
I don’t think his box-office returns are as good as they’d like.
They thought they’d get a series of movies out of the Jack Reacher movie but that’s not happening.
The pressure is going to be on him to deliver with his next couple of movies.
Who cares?
My sentiments exactly. I’d rather hear about how Cruise was going off against some recent anti-scientology book…(sorry, I can’t capitalize scientology & give it legitmacy). That was a headline I saw somewhere recently.
He could have his pick of titles – some good ones have come out recently! And tomorrow, Miss Cabbage’s niece, Jenna Miscavige Hill, has a book coming out about growing up and escaping. I’m bracing myself for the sad parts already.
Being in a movie with TC these days seems lowering to me now. Wish Emily wasn’t involved.
Relieved he has no maniacal grin on his face in these pix those can be frightening at breakfast time….
This guy is a workaholic
And a CO$aholic.
Gotta keep those millions going into the ‘church’.
So I’ve been watching Dawson’s Creek reruns on Netflix (don’t judge) and the other day there was a scene in one of the early seasons where Katie Holmes was watching Jerry Maguire. It was so, SO strange.
Is he trying to reclaim back some masculinity (though I have my doubts to whether he ever possessed any) he thinks he lost being dumped & divorced by making all these ‘save the world from aliens’ movies?
Sorry Tom, you fail at exuding any sexy, or sexuality, let alone a tough, manly saviour vibe.
Btw, I still see a maniacal grin in the pic with Emily. Even with his head down I can see those big white chompers bared.
On another note, has anyone seen the pictures of Suri on the DM site? Incredible change! That kid always seemed irritable and bratty. Now she looks carefree and well-adjusted. Good job Katie…
In that last pic, it looks like Tom is making a Suri face.
Oh, Emily Blunt, my girl-crush, you are far, far too talented and awesome to be in a movie with this Scientology hobbit.
This. It’s sad to see her taking so many “girlfriend” roles when she’s so talented.
I’ve read the book. Rita isn’t what you’d describe as a girlfriend character. It’s more an action-hero role, but it’s got a lot of range. Nearly anyone could play Cruise’s character, but Rita is a more complex role.
On the other hand, that’s based on the book. Hollywood could’ve done anything to it.
Pull the trigger Emily..
LOL! @Lolly
I love that pic. Hilarious expression.
gross.
love those lifts – what are they, like 5 inches?
Put Tiny Tom in a Nazi uniform and he’s happy.
Agree about the lifts. He spends his entire life in high heels. There should be a diva award for this – he could slap fight Mariah for it.
What the real question is, why is she letting him kiss her? Ewww…
Isn’t this the movie Tom Hardy got his fiancé a role in? Just curious because I can’t remember where I heard that.
Correct, it’s Charlotte Riley’s first Hollywood role, and that’s going to be the only reason why I’m gonna see it.
Oh Tom, you’re such a player!
Those lifts!! I haven’t laughed so much since the CO$ Superbowl tv commercial yesterday.
Judging by some of the hilarious twitter comments, I’d say that’s a big fail and $8 million down the drain.
A church, buying Superbowl Commercial time? Maybe it’s time for the government to review that old tax-exemption status….
FWIW, Business Insider is reporting that it was actually strategically placed local buys and closer to 3.8 mil. But still a lot of Tommy’s money for laughable results!
Do you think they will claim each youtube view as a new Scientologist? What great stats that would make!
All you need is… kill?
Who came up with this sh*t? Is there an Oscar for “Stupidest Movie Title”?
*adds (yet) another entry to the “Why I Hate TC” list*
I agree it’s a daft name, but you can’t blame Cruise/Hollywood.
The original book was Japanese, and All You Need is Kill was the title of the English translation.
Perhaps it sounds better in Japanese?
My youth. I must cling desperately to it. I am not old enough to be playing this character’s father. Xenu says so, so it must be true. Just wait til you see me slide round the living room in my underpants, I still look awesome. AWESOME I TELL YOU!!!!!!
Blunt looks amazing here !
He looks like a plucked chicken in the main pic.
The original title was “All You Need is Bill” – apparently the blond is named Bill…
He is handsome and a good actor.I loved Stace Jax and Jack Reacher. Your religion is your problem, just feel sad for being so fanatic. I hope to continue to have contact with his innocent daughter.
