Well it seems that Tom Cruise WILL be joining Penelope Cruz at the Cannes Film Festival next month in France. Many reliable sources say that they will attend next month’s occasion. Penelope will be joined by Tom to open the festival with her movie called “FANFAN”. Tom’s ex, Nicole Kidman is also attending.
Also, this seems more of a rumour. Tom and Nicole to star in FRIENDS? Friends Reunited: Tom And Nicole
Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise are getting back together again, but only in the hit TV show Friends.They are due to guest star in the series, according to reports.
But programme bosses are apparently keen defuse any tension between the former married couple after their acrimonius divorce two years ago.
The two will film their respective roles separately, according to the Daily Star.
And Here’s a nice little article about what it’s like on the set of THE LAST SAMURAI.
And last, Happy 29th birthday to Tom’s girlfriend Penelope Cruz!
Cruise arrived at the park’s cricket ground by helicopter, with the film’s other big names.
When action was called, loud gunfire sounded around the park, with Cruise being heard saying, “go on, shoot me”.
Just then, as filming was in full-swing, the carillon on Marsland Hill chimed out its two o’clock tune, which promptly stopped the filming, but had Cruise and the rest of the cast and crew chuckling with amusement. The filming back at the park is believed to have been to re-shoot some scenes. As well as the film’s leading stars being on set, dozens of Japanese men in black uniforms and hats sat on the terraces waiting for their cue for action.
As word of the filming spread, dozens of people gathered at Pukekura Park’s main gate and at other vantage points, trying to get a glimpse of the action. Cruise was back at work after spending the weekend sightseeing in Queenstown, with partner Penelope Cruz.
Hollywood will be in Taranaki for a few more weeks yet.
Latest indications show filming of The Last Samurai is due to finish about May 7. Originally, filming in the region was to wind up about this weekend, but things are going so well here, the film-makers apparently want to stay a little longer to make the best film possible. Rumour has it that director Ed Zwick and lead actor and producer Tom Cruise think the natural lighting in Taranaki is so fantastic, they are putting in more scenes, so the film looks even better. The $US100 million movie is still on budget, however. The longer stay will no doubt keep the local hospitality industry and all the businesses who have been involved with the movie very happy.
* Cast and crew sat and watched several mock Japanese buildings – including the main meeting house – burn to the ground at the Uruti film set this week. The buildings were believed to be replicas of those in the main mock-Japanese village, but had been built further down the valley to be razed for the film. It apparently took about 20 minutes for the huts to burn to the ground, with the intense heat making it difficult at times for the principal actors to keep control of their horses as the fire crackled. And there was no room for extra takes or mistakes – with only one chance to get it right.
* A handful of The Last Samurai special effects crew were in Queenstown this week filming some scenic plate shots for the film. It is understood they flew by helicopter on a location hunt earlier this week in preparation for two days’ filming in the Mt Aspiring area. Queenstown director John Mahaffie is the director of photography for the shoot. Mahaffie, who directed the second unit of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, has been in Taranaki for more than a month filming battle scenes for The Last Samurai at Upper Pitone Rd.
* Tom Cruise seems to be getting in a bit of horse riding practice in his spare time while in Taranaki. Between filming takes, The Last Samurai star has headed to back-country adventure camp Gumboot Gully, which is near the Uruti Samurai set, for some riding action. It is understood Cruise’s son, Connor (8), has also been having some horse riding practice near his Oakura home base.
* It wasn’t just Taranaki farmers who suffered during the recent dry spell. Looking out on golden brown pastures day after day apparently forced The Last Samurai film crew to take urgent action. Green was what they wanted, not brown. It is understood the background hillsides were instantly transformed – sprayed with green paint, for the duration of the filming of battle scenes at Upper Pitone Rd.

Also did a little update on the movies page.
Auckland - From on-screen Samurai fighter to real-life good Samaritan, Hollywood star Tom Cruise has impressed locals in New Zealand’s remote North Island province of Taranaki where he has been filming since January.
While working on the big budget Warner Bros epic The Last Samurai, due to wrap up mid-April, Cruise has become celebrated for his down-to-earth habits, like eating fish and chips in newspaper from the local take-away and catching the surf at nearby beaches.
And all without a paparazzi lens or mob of breathless fans in sight.
Then there have been his good deeds.
Far from mainstream cinematic gossip of sex scandals, diet fads, drug abuse and more among the stars, Cruise has become famous in Taranaki for stopping to help a local family change a flat tyre on a country road.
He also helped a young girl catch her runaway horse and donated seven thousand New Zealand dollars to a tiny, rural school near his film set for a sun shelter under which pupils can play.
While he has rarely been seen in public - unlike his gregarious Scottish co-star Billy Connelly - Cruise has earned a reputation for being a genuinely nice
WE MENTIONED a week or two ago ago that it is amazing that as soon as a production entity or a studio latches on to a major book or current headline story, that one or two other producers announce that they, too, are planning such a film. Such is the case this week as one major studio, and an independent production company headed by Leonardo Di Caprio, have announced a similar project. It is the story of The Devil In White City: Murder, Magic and Madness at the Fair That Changed America. Paramount has acquired the film rights to the book of that title and have attached Katherine Bigelow to direct with no cast set to be produced by (Tom) Cruise/(Paula) Wagner Productions for the studio. Further west in Beverly Hills, Leonardo Di Caprio has also announced that he is setting up a film about the serial killer H.H. Holmes and the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair wherein two men – an architect and a serial killer (Holmes) - made it their “playground” which is the subject of Erik Larson’s book acquired by Paramount for filming.. However, Di Caprio’s office said that it will proceed with a similar project based on public records instead of any book. However, the DiCaprio version will mainly deal with H.H. Holmes and the detective that tracked him down and arrested him. Di Caprio will produce and star in the film; and therein lies the tale.
Taranaki farewell for Tom
The 1200-odd people gathered at New Plymouth’s TSB Bowl yesterday, assembled in formation to spell out the word TOMINAKI.
Organised by The Edge radio station, the mass gathering and subsequent photograph was an effort to give Hollywood movie star Tom Cruise a memorable farewell from Taranaki, where he has lived for nearly four months for the filming of The Last Samurai. Mt Taranaki would be digitally put into the photograph and it was hoped the picture would be presented to Cruise before he left Taranaki later this month. Click Here for more info.

DeVito, Cruise in secret project
From correspondents in New Plymouth, New Zealand
April 10, 2003
HOLLYWOOD star Danny DeVito has confirmed he is working on a secret project with colleague Tom Cruise.
Cruise is in New Zealand’s Taranaki province filming the $US100 million ($165.54 million) Last Samurai, but DeVito declined to reveal details of their joint project.
“I’m working on a project with Tom, but I can’t say what it is yet,” he said.
Rumours have been rife that another Hollywood movie is just around the corner for Taranaki.
There has been talk about Cruise planning to film an adaptation of H G Wells’ novel, The War of the Worlds, but DeVito would not confirm if that was the project he and Cruise were working on.
A few more about Tom and DiCaprio going for the same part…
From: Teen Hollywood Cruise And DiCaprio Play Same Part
April 10, 2003
Film idols Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio are to make films about the same serial killer.
Cruise’s production company C/W Productions have acquired the film rights to New York Times bestseller, TThe Devil in White City, a book by Eril Larson that details the actions of H.H. Holmes, a murderer who preyed on visitors to the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893.
Kathryn Bigelow will co-produce and direct the Cruise film, and the book will be adapted for the screen by Chris Kyle (K-19).
Leonardo DiCaprio’s production company Appian Way is also working on a Holmes movie.
Holmes was a doctor who lured young women away from the fair, took them to a nearby hotel and murdered them. In 1896 he was sentenced to death after admitting to 27 murders.
Cruise, DiCaprio vie for The Devil
Two of Hollywood’s shiniest stars, Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio, are racing to tell the big-screen story of one of 19th-century Chicago’s most notorious serial killers.
Cruise and producing partner Paula Wagner have optioned author Erik Larson’s bestseller, The Devil In The White City, according to Variety.
The book tells the tale of H.H. Holmes, a devilishly debonair doctor who achieved infamy by luring young women away from the 1893 World’s Fair and murdering them in a hotel he owned near the fairgrounds.
Kathryn Bigelow (K19: The Widowmaker) is slated to direct. Holmes is also the subject of a competing film being developed by DiCaprio’s Appian Way production company for the Gangs Of New York actor to produce and star in.
In November, Appian hired a team to write a screenplay about the same killer via research available in the public domain.
This version will play more like DiCaprio’s blockbuster cat-and-mouse hunt Catch Me If You Can, by also following the viewpoint of the Pinkerton detective hired to hunt down Holmes.
Both films will have the same ending: Holmes was eventually captured, tried and hanged in 1896 after claiming to have murdered 27 people.
They say everything in Hollywood comes in twos, be it disaster films about volcanoes or asteroids, sci-fi flicks about Mars or even biopics on Howard Hughes.
So, it should come as no surprise that two of Tinseltown’s shiniest stars, Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio, are racing to tell the big-screen the story of one of 19th-century Chicago’s most notorious serial killers. (And no, this Chi-town slayer doesn’t sing and dance.)
Cruise and producing partner Paula Wagner have optioned author Erik Larso
n’s bestseller, The Devil in the White City, according to Daily Variety. The book tells the tale of H.H. Holmes, a devilishly debonair doctor who achieved infamy by luring young women away from the 1893 World’s Fair and murdering them in a hotel he owned near the fairgrounds.
Director Kathryn Bigelow (K19: The Widowmaker) is slated to helm the project, while K19 scribe Christopher Kyle has been tapped to write the script. Cruise and Wagner will produce under their Cruise/Wagner production shingle.
Holmes is also the subject of a competing film being developed by DiCaprio’s Appian Way production company for the Gangs of New York actor to produce and star in.
In November, Appian hired the writing team of Aaron and Matthew Benay to pen a screenplay about the same dastardly killer via research available in the public domain. Unlike the Cruise project, this version will play more like DiCaprio’s blockbuster cat-and-mouse hunt Catch Me If You Can by also following the viewpoint of the Pinkerton detective hired to hunt down Holmes.
Either way, both films will have the same ending: Holmes was eventually captured, tried and hanged in 1896 after claiming to have murdered 27 people. The Ted Bundy of his time, he was so infamous that William Randolph Heart’s newspaper syndicate paid the doctor $10,000 to publish his prison confession.
The million-dollar question is which project will make it to theaters first. No word whether Cruise will star in his version, but with DiCaprio committed to headline his own take on Holmes, it’s likely he could be the winner.
That is, if he doesn’t fall behind in a couple of other high-profile Hollywood races.
DiCaprio is next scheduled to reunite with his Gangs pal Martin Scorsese to play Howard Hughes in The Aviator–that’s if Memento director Christopher Nolan and Jim Carrey don’t beat him to it with their own biopic on the bizzaro billionaire.
DiCaprio’s also looking to be king of the ancient world as he’s set to star in Moulin Rouge director Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming epic Alexander the Great. That project has a rival in filmmaker Oliver Stone, who’s busy plotting his own epic on the legendary Macedonian king with red-hot Irish actor Colin Farrell in the lead.
DiCaprio’s calendar also includes a project with Robert De Niro called The Good Shepherd, which charts the history of the CIA as seen through the eyes of James Wilson, an idealistic young man recruited out of Yale to become one of the agency’s founding officers. Then there’s Bombshell, Lasse Halström’s movie in which DiCaprio would play the nuclear scientist who dished U.S. Secrets to the Soviets during the 1940s.
Cruise, meanwhile, is finishing up shooting on The Last Samurai, a 19th-century epic set in Imperialist Japan. He has also reenlisted with his Minority Report director Steven Spielberg for Ghost Soldiers, a World War II drama about the survivors of Asia’s Bataan Death March that Cruise will produce and headline.
And Cruise is looking to team up with director David Fincher to reprise his role as superspy Ethan Hunt for one last go-round in Paramount’s hugely successful Mission: Impossible franchise.

Cruise Vs. Leo
This time, the two at loggerheads are Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio who are both planning features on one H.H Holmes – a serial killer who stalked his victims at the 1893 Chicago World Fair. Cruise’s production company have just optioned the film rights to The Devil In The White City – a bestselling novel on the story. Meanwhile, Leonardo’s production house is also working on a story on the same subject – the difference being that DiCaprio is attached as the star of his project, while no casting has been annouced for Cruise’s movie.
Mr Cruise, sent the cheque and a letter after hearing about the work of the Drug-Free Ambassadors group, which encourages young people to adopt a drug-free lifestyle. Mo McLeary, manager for the group, said he was thrilled with the donation.
Cruise, who is working in Taranaki on the film The Last Samurai, said in his letter that it was inspiring to read about the group’s dedication to educating young people about drugs.
He said there was a lot of false information around, and providing children with the truth empowered them to make “pro-survival” decisions.
Also, Premiere Magazine announced that Tom Cruise was the highest paid actor of 2003, earning more then $ 71.4 million!
Premire Magazine released their Annual 100 power list- 100 most powerful people in the world. Tom Cruise snagged the 14th spot as the most powerful person. The second highest actor on the list following Tom hanks at number 13th.
Taranaki people have the chance to give Hollywood movie star Tom Cruise a memorable farewell.
The Edge radio station wants as many people as possible to assemble at the TSB Bowl of Brooklands at midday this Sunday – dressed in black – where they will be placed in formation to spell out the word TOMANAKI.
An aerial photograph will be taken and it was hoped it would be presented to Cruise before he leaves Taranaki later this month. Said Dominic Harvey from The Edge: “As a way of saying, `thanks Tom’, we want to get him a gift he will never forget. This is easier said than done – remember we are talking about a guy who earns millions of dollars a year.
“The photo is something no amount of money can buy and we have no doubt Tom would be proud to display it in his home or office. “It is hard to predict how many people will turn up to be in Tom’s photo, but the more locals in the picture, the better it will look, so we are hoping for a massive turnout,” he said.
Kidman phones Cruise after Oscar
Actress Nicole Kidman phoned ex-husband Tom Cruise to share her Oscar glory with him shortly after winning the Best Actress award.
Kidman made the long-distance call, from the US to New Zealand, where Cruise is staying, after taking the Oscar for her role in The Hours.
“Your heart has to stay loving,” Kidman told People magazine.
“It was so important to me to talk to [their son] Connor and yes, to Tom,” she added.
“We have very different lives now but, as I’ve said to Tom, I will be there for him for the rest of his life, always there.”
Kidman and Cruise’s 10-year marriage ended in divorce in 2001.
Kidman described herself as “very single” and denied tabloid newspaper rumours of a romance with British actor Jude Law, her co-star in the movie Cold Mountain.
“He’s a wonderful man and a good friend of mine, but there was no affair,” she said.
“We spent seven months shooting and it’s an intense love story so we were waiting for that. They did it with Ewan McGregor too, on Moulin Rouge.”
But Kidman said her life was missing something.
“I want someone who says, ‘I will stand by you and be there for you and your life is just as important to me as mine’.
“I’m not someone who just says, ‘Oh yeah, this is silly and light and fun’. I like to be in love. Nothing casual. I’m not interested in casual.
“I’m waiting for someone to come rock my world,” she said.
This sounds more of a gossip than actual news from NYPost, but….
THE Cannes Film Festival next month may be the first public confrontation for Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz and Nicole Kidman. Cruz will be there because her latest pic, a remake of the swashbuckler “Fanfan La Tulipe” with Vincent Perez, is opening the fest, and she never goes anywhere public without Cruise glued to her side. Kidman is going for the new Lars von Trier film, “Dogville.” No one knows the schedule yet - there could conceivably be a week between their visits, as the festival runs two weeks. But it will still be a Penelope-Nicole popularity and beauty contest on the Croisette.
And this from People News Tom, Pene and Nicole to meet
Cruzing for a bruising? Gardez vos chapeaux - the south of France will be the setting for the first public meeting of Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz. Next month’s Cannes Film Festival may well become the next high-profile war zone as the holy Hollywood trinity converge upon the famous French town. Cruz, who rarely leaves the house without her favourite accessory (Tom) is there to promote her film Fanfan La Tulipe, a remake of the 1952 swashbuckling classic. Kidman will be there to scope out Dogville, the new Lars von Trier flick. A meeting is not guaranteed as the festival spans a fortnight, but as Fanfan opens festivities and Nicole rarely turns down such opportunities, a red carpet clash could be on the cards. About time too, as the trio seem to have circling each other warily for months. Cruise has kept in touch with Kidman since being the first to congratulate her on her Best Actress Oscar. They are both due to appear in films about witches, which went into production while they were still a couple. Kidman has just bought a $5 million New York flat overlooking one owned by Penelope. More worrying for Tom is the fact that Cruz is soon to appear in a Jekyll and Hyde remake with Jude Law, romantically linked with his ex in the past. Is there some weird synchronicity thing going on here?
About Tom congratulating Nicole…. (From: People News
The first person to call and congratulate Nicole Kidman on her Oscar success was her ex-husband Tom Cruise. Pals say that Cruise, who has so far remained Oscarless (despite being nominated three times) called Nic from New Zealand, where he is filming The Last Samurai, shortly after she turned on her mobile phone to congratulate her. Nicole responded by promptly bursting into tears. A friend of the alabaster actress said, ‘The emotion of the evening was all a bit much for her. She was genuinely shocked that Tom called her so soon. It meant a lot.’ Cruise has been a staunch supporter of his ex wife’s career - last year he used his Academy membership vote to back Nicole to win an Oscar for Moulin Rouge.
And this I’m not sure where is from….
Cruise gets airborne
From correspondents in Auckland
18mar03
FILM hunk Tom Cruise yesterday spent two hours stunt-jumping with his children.
The star exclusively booked the 192m Sky Jump - which costs $195 to do a cable-controlled leap - for a fun afternoon with Isabella, 10, and Connor, 8.

Cruise is currently living in Taranaki while filming The Last Samurai.
Crowe’s sunday wedding is well underway. Despite claims the guest-list does not include celebrity types, there are rumours in town of famous faces expected to attend, including US movie star Tom Cruise, former husband of Nicole Kidman.
