We told you Tom Cruise’s newest film Valkyrie was bumped into the February 2009 no man’s land, effectively killing all buzz around the project.
We also mentioned earlier that something was up in Camp Cruise as Tommy Girl was seen meeting with Sumner Redstone, even after Redstone fired Cruise from Paramount after accusing him of costing Mission: Impossible 3 $150 million with his “erratic behavior.”
Today, Page Six joins us in our thought that something is rotten in the state of Cruise by suggesting the lunch with Redstone was a Mea Culpa:
TOM Cruise has good reason to mend fences with Sumner Redstone - his United Artists deal with MGM may be going south. Last year’s UA/Cruise movie “Lions for Lambs” was made for $35 million, but it grossed only $14.9 million. Now, another starring vehicle, “Valkyrie” - in which he plays a Nazi who tries to kill Hitler - has been pushed back for the third time, to February 2009. “Valkyrie” has not had good buzz and has already cost UA and MGM close to $90 million - and director Bryan Singer is still not finished shooting. Plus, execs are said to be perplexed about how to market the melodrama. In March, Cruise had lunch with his old Paramount foe Redstone - who fired him two years ago. Word is Cruise also took daughter Suri to a Paramount theme park, which is owned by Viacom, spurring rumors of a reconciliation and a possible move for Cruise back to Paramount. But a rep for UA would say only, “Sometimes a lunch is just a lunch.”
Man, Tom has tried to kill his career on Oprah’s couch, he set off an Anonymous Vs. Scientology War, His movies are tanking…
…is this the end of Tom Cruise?
There, we said it.
