Now that Tom Cruise has hijacked an entire movie studio - well, the pathetic vestige of what used to be a movie studio - he’s ready to start actually (shudder) starring in films again.
First on his plate will be an important-sounding, sociopolitical drama - you know, the kind with lots of interconnected story threads to let us know that it’s, like, hard to live in a global society. The film, Lions for Lambs, will co-star and be directed by Robert “The Leather Muppet” Redford, so expect a lot of gritty drama seen through a Vaseline-smeared lens. Meryl Streep is part of the ensemble as well, and it’ll be fun to watch her make thespianic mincemeat out of Miss Cruise.
The fact that Cruise is making all these announcements about his professional activities so close to the assumed date of his wedding to Joey Potter strikes us as the most obvious “Our relationship is a PR stunt” tell since Vaughniston split up on the same week The Break-Up’s DVD release.
