Tom Cruise/Cameron Diaz starrer off to good start

By ANDREW STEWART

wentieth Century Fox’s action caper “Knight and Day” scored an estimated $3.8 million Wednesday at 3,043 locations, repping a solid jump start for the Tom Cruise-Cameron Diaz starrer.

Fox said it hopes word of mouth, coupled with last weekend’s sneaks, will translate through the weekend among older auds. Wednesday’s figures rep a considerable start for “Knight” given that the film’s targeted adult demo typically shy away from mid-week screenings.

Still, comparable adult summer titles released on Wednesday, including last year’s R-rated Universal pic “Public Enemies,” earned $8.2 million opening day. Paramount-DreamWorks’ “Tropic Thunder,” in which Cruise appeared in a cameo role, debuted with $6.5 million in August 2008. Opening three-day totals for “Public Enemies” reached a muted $25.3 million, while “Tropic Thunder” grossed $25.8 million during its inaugural frame.

Overseas prospects for “Knight” look promising as Cruise usually draws top coin in some major markets. Pic launched day and date with the U.S. in 12 markets, including Russia and South Korea.

“Knight” will expand to some 50 more Stateside engagements Friday when it will compete for adult auds with Sony’s wide release “Grown Ups,” which launches at 3,533.

We all know Katie has great musical abilities, but recently she was joined by Tom on stage at last Saturday’s A Fine Romance Benefit for The Motion Picture and Television Fund in L.A.
Tom played up his part as Katie performed a sexy number and sang the sassy showtune “Whatever Lola Wants, Lola Gets” from the 1955 musical Damn Yankees. Every bit the temptress, Katie slinked across the stage in a little black dress and played on to Tom.

Watch the video here:

The event was hosted by another musical vet, Hugh Jackman. Also in attendance was Catherine Zeta-Jones Joel Grey and James Marsden.

Finally we have something new to post! Two new stills for “Knight & Day” and two new trailers have been released!

Knight & Day Stills

REUNITING Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz on the big screen, 20th Century Fox’s summer blockbuster Knight and Day now hits cinemas in the UK on July 14, it’s been officially announced.

According to the official synopsis, Roy Milner (Cruise) is a secret agent who goes on a blind date with unlucky-in-love June Havens (Diaz), and ends up pulling her into a journey to protect a powerful battery that holds the key to an infinite power source.

During their glamorous, globetrotting and sometimes deadly adventure, nothing and no one – even the now fugitive couple – are what they seem.

Amid shifting alliances and unexpected betrayals, they race across the world with their survival ultimately hinging on the battle of truth versus trust.

Also in the action-comedy, directed by James Mangold ((3:10 to Yuma, Walk the Line, Girl, Interrupted) are Peter Sarsgaard, Maggie Grace, Paul Dano, Marc Blucas, Viola Davis and Jordi Mollà.

Knight and Day was shot across the world in locations including Massachusetts, Spain, Austria and Jamaica.

The certificate and running time are to be confirmed. The film was previously set for release on July 2.

Cruise and Diaz previously co-starred in 2001′s Vanilla Sky.

One can’t imagine a film ever being made about the life of Louis Theroux. Are his Weird Weekends quite enough for the nation’s television archives? Just in case, Theroux has let it be known that he’d like Tom Cruise to play him. “He’s very intense and I don’t feel I am so I’d like to see him bring his intensity to my lack of intensity. Plus I like it when Americans try to do British accents,” the Daily Express reported. [SOURCE]

The first still of Tom in “Knight & Day” has been released! I have added it (HQ) to the gallery.

“Knight & Day” Movie Stills

Tom Cruise, 47, has launched a seemingly impossible mission – finding a director.

The star of three Mission: Impossible movies is casting around for a director for M:I-4, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Cruise, who recently appeared in Knight and Day with Cameron Diaz, is said to have settled on Brad Bird, the 52-year-old director and writer of The Incredibles in 2004.

Cruise will reprise the role of Ethan Hunt as well as produce the project, with a view to a May 2011 release date.

Cruise and co-producer J.J. Abrams have held talks with film-makers new and old, including Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer and Edgar Wright, who helmed Shaun of the Dead.

Bird, who has never directed an action thriller, seems an odd choice but he is said to be keen on the project. THR reports he is well known for storytelling and staging thrilling action set pieces.

Film website Cinematical also reports Bird is well-known for his desire to enter the action movie arena since a San Fransisco earthquake movie titled 1906 stalled at Warner Bros.

The last time Reese Witherspoon played a country singer, the actress took home the Oscar for best actress. It looks like Witherspoon knows what’s good for her as The Los Angeles Times reports that the actress is expected to take on another country singing role in the long anticipated Paper Wings. Furthermore, it looks like Tom Cruise will most likely star alongside her in the film.

At the center of the film’s premise is a rodeo love story. A cowboy champ falls in love with a country singer on the edge of stardom.

Although the film is currently in production with Sony, its first home was supposed to be with New Line Cinema. Overbrook Entertainment, which is owned by Tom Cruise’s friend Will Smith, is currently set to produce the film.

Among the candidates for director is Gabriele Muccino, who previously directed the Will Smith led films Seven Pounds and his Oscar nominated performance in The Pursuit of Happyness.

Tom and Katie were at a Los Angeles Lakers game! I have added 63 HQ pictures to the gallery.

We are well used to a whole host of British Z-listers turning up for a brief camera-shot in the X Factor audience but this year it could turn very A-list.

According to The Sun, Hollywood actor Tom Cruise is keen to get in on the X Factor action and has been asking one Mr Louis Walsh all about the show.

Louis met Tom at a party recently and told The Sun: “He was intense and wanted to know all about how it works and what goes on behind the scenes.”

It seems unlikely fan Tom has been catching up on previous shows via the internet and just can’t wait to hear all those wannabes singing live.

Of course, there could be more to it than that.

Louis claims that Cruise was keen to know if he himself would be part of the upcoming US version of the show and, presumably if Walsh was not going to present, whether he could get tickets for the British series.

Louis said: “I told him that wouldn’t be a problem. We don’t have tickets yet but I can’t imagine it’d be a problem getting Tom Cruise one.” [source]

Tom was recently at the 5th Annual ‘Oscar Wilde Honoring The Irish In Film’ event. Pictures are in the gallery.

Tom Cruise’s rep has rubbished rumours he was injured in a motorcycle accident in LA over the weekend.

The Mission: Impossible star, 47, was reported to have needed medical attention at a hospital following the incident.

But now publicist Amanda Lundberg has set the record straight.

‘Totally false,’ she tells E! Online. ‘Not true at all.’ [SOURCE]

Tom has a new publicist.

Today he signed on with public-relations firm 42West. Tom will be represented by film department co-head and partner Amanda Lundberg, who also personally reps MGM CEO Mary Parent. “42West handles MGM’s movies, and Tom was impressed by Amanda’s work on Valkyrie,” said an insider. “They’ve been talking about this for a long time.”

Tom had been a devoted client of Pat Kingsley at PMK until March 2004 when he fired the veteran publicist after 14 years. He replaced her with his sister Lee Anne DeVette. She announced in November 2005 that she was resigning as his publicist to work on philanthropic projects. Then Tom hired Rogers & Cowan’s veteran Paul Bloch and Arnold Robinson who specializes in repping mostly over-the-hill action stars.

Jeff Raymond who worked with Tom at his (now) former public relations firm responded to a request for comment by saying, “Rogers & Cowan and Tom Cruise remain friends and we wish him well in all his future endeavors.”

My apologies for me not updating for a while. I have been looking but I haven’t found anything to update with. All I find are tabloid stories, which I don’t like to post here. Be assured, as soon as I find something, I’ll post it. I hope you’re all having a wonderful new year!!

Tom Cruise has been sued in a Los Angeles Superior Court.

The lawsuit claims that he hired convicted private investigator Anthony Pellicano to spy on magazine editor Michael David Sapir.

Sapir filed the legal complaint naming as defendants Cruise, his attorney Bert Fields, Matchtinger LLP and Anthony Pellicano.

The lawsuit appears to be part of a legal duel between the parties.

Sapir edits Bold, a periodical that in 2001 published a $500,000 reward for any video evidence that Cruise is gay.

Sapir claims that the magazine received a video and issued a press release to that end.

Cruise has consistently denied being gay. The actor’s attorney, Fields, filed a lawsuit against Sapir’s magazine for defamation, seeking $100 million in damages.

Sapir alleges that during the defamation litigation, Cruise hired Pellicano to wiretap his phone.

The magazine editor is asking for $5 million. [SOURCE]
