    Mission: Impossible 3, Movie News

    Big plans for M:I-3

    Hollywood star Tom Cruise’s big dream to make the mega bucks Mission Impossible III is causing problems for Paramount Studios, who fear that the budget for the movie may spiral out of control.

    According to Femalefirst, shooting for the movie, which is being produced by the actor, will begin in June next year. However, there is no concrete script for the movie, the actor reportedly approached some directors but apparently the deal did not work.

    Despite decided locations in Germany, Belgium, Ghana, Canada and the US, Paramount is reportedly getting increasingly nervous over Cruise’s plans to film in 15 countries, raising the budget to 130 million pounds.

    GQ cover/FYC ads/B.O/WOTW set & cast

  • Tom will be on GQ magazine cover, as their LEADING MAN OF THE YEAR. Three different covers include Tom Cruise, Jude Law and James Gandolfini and hits newsstands November 23.
  • Here’s an interesting article:

    What if it were another Tom who “completed” Renee Zellweger’s character? Say, Tom Hanks, perhaps? Well, believe it or not, it almost happened.

    As history would have it, writer/director Cameron Crowe had originally written the role of “Jerry Maguire” for Hanks. Considering the film’s overwhelming success, is Hanks disappointed he passed on the film?

    “I think you look at it now and it couldn’t have been anybody other than Tom Cruise,” Hanks admitted to Access Hollywood. “That’s the way movies operate. I don’t think anybody would look at that now and say that movie was not perfect with Cuba and Renee and Tom. Those are the people who needed to be in that movie.”

    “[Crowe] said he had this idea about a guy and his agent and that he worked on it for a really long time. But by the time he was ready to do it, I had written and was about to direct ‘That Thing You Do,'” Hanks continued. “So, Tom Cruise owes me a buck.”

    Well, Mr. Hanks, allow Access Hollywood to go collect on that bet for you as our Billy Bush asked Cruise to make good on the buck.

    “You owe him a dollar. Do you have a dollar? Because I’m going to see him in a few days so I could give it to him,” Billy told Cruise, as he scuffled through his pockets only to come away with nothing but lint. Just then, a passer-by handed the movie star a buck.

    “Am I going to have to pay you back?” Cruise joked. “Here, give him a dollar.”

    And how did Hanks respond to his newfound fortune when we met back up with him? “Debt paid! This is going to buy me a set of white wall tires,” he laughed.

    So now we know that Tom replaced Tom. But would you believe this story gets even stranger. It appears to be a case of six degrees of separation from Renee Zellweger, as the “Jerry Maguire” script also landed in the lap of Renee’s “Bridget Jones” co-star Hugh Grant.

    “I do remember them sending me the script for ‘Jerry Maguire,’ and I rang up my agent and I said ‘There must be some mistake because you sent me a good script,’ and they said ‘Sorry, yes, there is a mistake. That was actually meant for Tom Cruise,'” Grant revealed.

    Conversely, the role of Dorothy Boyd was almost filled by someone other than Renee. A certain Latin diva who has made her mark in the worlds of movies and music — the now-Mrs. Marc Anthony — Jennifer Lopez.

    Hundreds wait for hours to be in Spielberg film

    wstm.com:

    ATHENS, N.Y. Hundreds of people shivered in line for hours for a chance to be an extra in a Spielberg film that’s going to be shot in the Hudson Valley village of Athens.

    The film is a remake of “War of the Worlds,” starring Tom Cruise. Paramount Pictures plans to shoot a scene in Athens, along the Hudson River about 30 miles south of Albany.

    The scene will feature crowds fleeing a Martian invasion. Athens was chosen because of its riverfront location. The scene includes a 168-foot car ferry, and the movie-makers needed a place where it could be docked.

    People who lined up outside in the frigid air called it a once in a lifetime opportunity to land a small spot on the big screen.

    Paramount will begin filming the Athens scene early next month. “War of the Worlds” is expected to hit theaters next summer.

    Cruise/Wagner Makes Devil’s Deal

    Paramount-based Cruise/Wagner has made a deal for The Devil’s Banker, buying the screen rights to Christopher Reich’s thriller for C/W to produce, reports Variety.

    The project follows a female British spy, who’s an ace undercover operative, and a U.S. agent/forensic accountant who got into counterterrorism via a business career. The duo join forces to try to stop a terrorist attack aimed at the United States by tracking a mastermind who’s auditing their every move while transferring vast sums of money from country to country and bank to bank.

    Random House published the book in August.
