No Iron Man movie for Tom

Tom Cruise told SCI FI Wire that he has pulled out of a proposed Iron Man movie. “It’s not happening. Not with me,” Cruise told reporters during a break in filming on the set of his current movie, War of the Worlds, in Piru, Calif. “They … came to me at a certain point, and you know, when I do something, I want to do it right. And, you know, if I commit to something, it has to be done in a way that I know it’s going to be something special. And that … as it was lining up, it just didn’t feel to me like it was going to work.”

Cruise had been attached to the on-again, off-again film adaptation of the Marvel Comics series. But he said that he’s no longer involved. “I need to be able to make decisions and make the film as great as it can be, and it just didn’t go down that road that way,” he said. He added: “I’ve never just made a movie to make a movie. I’ve always made them because I really was interested in the story. I wanted to make that kind of picture and see what it would take, and it was an adventure for me. For that, it just wasn’t panning out. So far. You know, as of yet.”
