Empire Online on the casting of Scarlet:

Scarlett Johansson has joined the cast of Mission: Impossible 3, with the Cruiser, Carrie-Anne Moss, Ving Rhames and Kenneth Branagh. Apparently she is going to play an “ally” of Cruise’s Ethan Hunt character, which puts her at high risk of being bumped off in the first five minutes of the film if past form is anything to go by. Johansson won the part after beating off every other young actress in Hollywood, virtually all of whom asked to be considered for it.

According to TeenHollywood Penelope is desperate to get Tom back:

Spanish siren PENELOPE CRUZ is desperate to get ex-boyfriend TOM CRUISE back – after realizing her desire to become a top Hollywood actress was to blame for their split.
The sexy star has spent months in the African desert filming new movie Sahara – and has reportedly told the film’s crew she’s willing to do whatever it takes to reconcile with Cruise, who she split with in January.
An on-set source says, “Penelope is still deeply in love with Tom and believes he feels the same way about her but cannot cope with her excessive demands.
“She feels she has seen the light and will get him back when he realizes how much she blames herself for the break up.”
The actress has also denied rumors she was romancing co-star Matthew McConaughey on the set of the movie.
The source adds, “Tom knows the rumors of her romance with Matthew are nonsense and Penelope is determined to spell that out to him all over again.”

askmen.com about this:
When Tom Cruise announced that he and Nicole Kidman were getting divorced in 2001, everyone tripped out because they just “seemed so happy.” The announcement came just before their 10th wedding anniversary.
Then, after we all took a moment to blink, Tom was humping his Vanilla Sky co-star Penelope Cruz. And considering Tom was just walking away from a second divorce, men across the world were sure that Penelope wouldn’t be getting a diamond any time soon.
Lo and behold, Cruise waved ba-bye to Cruz after three years together and now rumors are circulating that Tom and Nicole may be patching things up “for the sake of the children.” Then again, that might just be the press messing with you.

Hollywood reporter reports that Kenneth Branagh will join the cast of Mission: Impossible 3. No details of his role are revealed but expected is that he will play a villain. Further casting is under way. Reuters, SciFi, RTE, Filmforce, Zap2it, Backstage.com, comingsoon.net and Empire Online all say the same.

Also a little fun thing: According to a poll held by Hello! magazine more than 20,000 people and over half of the votes counted said Tom would get back with Pen instead of with Nicole or someone else. I personally don’t think they will, but who am I?

‘Impossible’ assignment for Branagh

Kenneth Branagh
——————————————————————————–

By Liza Foreman
Kenneth Branagh is joining Tom Cruise and Carrie-Anne Moss in “Mission: Impossible 3″ for C/W Prods. and Paramount Pictures.

Branagh, who recently appeared in a London production of David Mamet’s play “Edmund” and the feature film “Five Children and It,” has signed on for the spy action-adventure. Although there is an expectation that he will be unmasked as one of the villains, few details were available on the character Branagh will play.

Further casting is under way on the sequel, which is due to go into production in late summer. Although there has been speculation that Philip Seymour Hoffman would be joining the cast, that possibility has apparently ended because of a scheduling conflict.

Frank Darabont is penning the script for the third installment of the blockbuster, which Joe Carnahan will direct.

In the feature, Cruise will reprise his role as agent Ethan Hunt.

Branagh’s other recent credits include “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,” “Conspiracy” and “Rabbit-Proof Fence.”

He is repped by Judy Hofflund of managers Hofflund/Polone.

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love making sites, graphics and everything related to it. And, how much feedback is important to me, since there is no point of making a website for myself. Then, things like this and makes me wonder, what the hell? What have I done so bad so that stupid person say things like that about me. I’ve never spoken to her/him except on the board.
The only reason why I delete all Scientology threads is because everytime I let it open someone from another religion, or Scientology haters come to the board just to bash it. It’s pointeless. I’ve tried over 10 times. Never worked. Now I’m done with it cause people just won’t respect. And this is not the point of the board. It’s to talk about Tom. It’s his religion, yes, but that’s not relevant. It wont change anything on his way of acting.

And the Nicole threads, we’ve had way too many Nicole threads in the past, they’ve all turned into Tom bashing threads. I love Nicole, but I won’t allow any bashing Tom thread. There are several trash boards on the web for that, I won’t allow it in here. And if you want to talk about Nicole, go on google.com and search for Nicole Kidman. I’m sure that there are boards about her on the web.

Now, if anyone is wondering if I’m having any thoughts of closing this site, the answer is NO. I have this site open for over 4 years (if you count Tom Cruise Web) and I’ve had shit like this before, it doesn’t affect me. Inferior people are like that. You need to walk through them and just look the other way, cause they’re not even worth you look.

EW’s summer pick:

Michael Mann thinks Tom Cruise is at his best when he’s playing bad. So while some may prefer the winking charmer from ”Top Gun,” the ”Ali” director prefers Cruise served up slick and angry, like the seething motivational speaker he played in ”Magnolia.” In Mann’s new movie, the actor, his pretty head of hair shorn and dyed a gunmetal gray, plays Vincent, an assassin with a fast mouth and a cold heart. ”He does baaaaad things,” fizzes Mann, ”and you can’t take your eyes off him.” Costar Jamie Foxx seconds the casting choice. ”Michael Mann is a genius,” he says. ”Because we know that Tom Cruise is a good-lookin’ dude. But the thing about good looks — when you make ‘em evil, man, it’s an interesting thing.”

The chemistry between Cruise and Foxx flowed even when the cameras weren’t rolling. Foxx, who unironically refers to himself as the Inspiration, went so far as to nickname his costar the Intangible: ”I said, ‘Because you’re good-lookin’ and you’re still honest and courteous and kind.”’ With two such heady forces playing his leads, no wonder the director was able to relax and enjoy himself. ”Michael Mann definitely has a reputation,” says Foxx, who worked with him on ”Ali.” ”His shoots can be grueling. But he smiled on this movie! We all became friends. They even ended up at my birthday party. My homies were like, ‘Yo, what the hell is Michael Mann and ‘Last Samurai’ doing up in here?!”
