For the love of God. There really is no creativity in Hollywood anymore.

It will be creatively set in contemporary times

That's good enough for me.

Am I the only one that thinks this is simply an odd career choice for Cruise?

Am I the only one that thinks this is simply an odd career choice for Cruise?

No, I agree. Wondering what the circumstances are, besides money (if any).

 

[Phrazbit]

Tom Cruise... in the Mummy? Cruise is an abrasive lunatic but I gotta admit, I like about 90% of his movies. That must be one helluva script, or he owes someone a big favor.

Brenden Frasier has got to be furious, what is next, Daniel Day Lewis in "Monkeybone 2"?

He is?

 

[BigRedRage]

He is?

You dont have to protect him just because you have scientologist friends.

Also an odd choice for a reboot, this movie isnt even that old.

 

[Chaplin]

That's a juvenile thing to say. I asked a simple question. Do you have an answer? Because by what you just said, you don't. Nothing to do with Scientology or Christianity or pancakes.

 

[Covert Rain]

I do think Tom is a strange bird but so are many of my favorites. At any rate, I have to think it's money.

Aside from the MI franchise, attaching himself to this genre..let alone another franchise seems so strange to me. This genre doesn't seem like his cup of tea. Maybe he is entering the same mode as Harrison Ford seemed to be as of late. If it's a massive paycheck.....I will do it.

different movie...they are rebooting the 1932 version with Boris Karloff

I was gonna say... Reboots are getting more and more recent. What's next, a Transformers reboot?

That's one franchise that could use one. Freaking Michael Bay.

 

[Stout]

All-new my big toe.

 

[BillsCarnage]

All-new my big toe.

A new big toe? EBay?

 

[Stout]

A new big toe? EBay?

You need a toe? I can get you a toe.

You must be registered for see images attach

He's the only actor that you jump on people for commenting on

or how about a revenant reboot?

 

[Chaplin]

How did I jump? I asked why you thought he's nuts. That's all. YOU took it further by subtly attacking.

[Chaplin]

Definitely going to be more "serious" than the previous series.

I am really intrigued by Russell Crowe as Dr. Jekyll.
