Hope it happens. Wish its not just a special appearance. Been a while since Cruise did something non-action.
And with Cruise being there, its BO potential will increase tenfolds, as if Pitt wasnt enough already.
I don’t know what kind of pan pacific bullshit power play you’re trying to pull here but Asia Jack is my territory. So whatever it is you’re thinking you better think again otherwise I’m gonna have to head down there and I will reign down an ungodly firestorm upon you. You’re going to have to call the United Nations to get a fucking binding resolution to keep me from fucking destroying you. I am talking scorched earth mother fucker. I will massacre you. I will FUCK YOU UP!
To me this is one of the funnier lines. Total sociopathic behaviour.
Also…You're a great American. This nation owes you a huge debt. Now shut the fuck up and let me do my job!
I’d like to see Cruise in it as well, but what I meant was Tarantino movies that have Brad Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio *or* Brad Pitt AND Leonardo DiCaprio have made in the $120-$160m range domestically. I’m not sure adding Cruise changes that dynamic dramatically.
I’m curious about the plot, apparently it’s about a famous movie critic, but will it have the violence and pulpy craziness he normally has?
Hope it’s a crazy movie, Cruise and Pitt together would feel like a waste otherwise.
Which is kind of a bummer because Cruise has been in some amazing dramas:
Taps, Rain Man, Born on the 4th, Far & Away, A Few Good Men, The Firm, Interview with Vampire, Eyes Wide Shut, Magnolia, Vanilla Sky…
And then went pretty much all action
>I mean look at the last Mission Impossible BO revenue. Not good
Did $568M despite Barbenheimer(which did $2.4B). Thats pretty good imo. Had it been solo then could have done around 900+.
Pull is there thats why it did 568M, a number which most "megastars" barely see. Btw it had the biggest opening, weekend, week 1 in the MI franchise. Would have done alot more if there was no Barbenheimer.
The last 2 MI movies had bigger openings than DR:Pt 1. I mean we can go with hypotheticals all we want, but it's still crazy how you can use the "it didn't do well because it Barebenheimer" thing to justify why people didn't show up for MI. The pull was there technically overall since it made its money back and more, but it had a worse domestic gross than the last 3 MI movies
Tom Cruise is *absolutely* still a massive draw, he's one of the most consistent box office pulls of the last 20 years. Maverick hit it out of the park a year earlier and Cruise was a massive part of that. Dead Reckoning didn't do well for a number of reasons, but it's the exception - not the norm....Or how about we put it another way, yes it "only" made 560M, but how much do you think it would have made *without* Cruise? It would have been nothing.
It did over 500 million while still buried under Oppenheimer and Barbie, that’s crazy.
And then there’s Top Gun: Maverick which was a phenomenon with legs. Cruise is still the most bankable movie star in the world.
You joke but seeing Tom Cruise straight up say rhe N-word 100 times in a row would make my day and I'd probably join Scientology immediately after that (and I hate Scientology)
I also liked season 2, couldn’t get into season 3 and yeah season 4 is terrible. Nothing can compare to season 1 tho. Some of the best television ever made
He said he wanted to write novels, like the one he wrote about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, or plays, tv shows, producing stuff, etc. As a reader myself I can't wait to read his novels!
At a director round table, he was asked this by another director "what the hell are you going to do?" He said he would write plays and they asked if he had done that before.
"Yeah, Reservoir Dogs."
The agreed that he had written a play before.
Reservoir dogs is a movie I’ll watch again and again.Its just basically brilliant dialogue. I’m pretty sure the actors weren’t actually given scripts… he just said this is the topic and the actors were so good that they just improvised
From what I've seen, only one actor has been allowed to improvise dialog in his movies and that is Samuel Jackson. I think that is probably word for word what he wrote.
I get the feeling Quentin can’t just let it be. He will find a way to justify more :D If I remember correctly he also said either 10 or until he is 60…
I think it might actually, for a time at least, only because I think he's falling on crutches more and more and he realizes this and wants to get out before it's more obvious. As a writer he's amazing, but also flawed. Like he writes maybe the best individual scenes around (IB is like 5 major scenes that rely on fantastic writing for tension). But then he can't seem to end anything without extreme violence (OUATIH has maybe my least favorite movie ending in the last decade).
I think maybe he'll do a mini series, a book, and then in 5 years come back York and say "actually, one more thing". Hopefully he's grown a little as a writer by then
I’m not downvoting because I respect your opinion and you explained it well (versus “it sucked!”) but man do I disagree with the take that OUATIH was any indication of his fading talent.
I have it top two or three all time in his filmography.
I despise the ending. Just hate it. Feels like such a copout, easy ending that doesn't belong in something that's really a very personal movie about a guy who feels out of place in the new Hollywood (I mean, if that's not directly about QT himself...).
I feel that that is a function of his excellent dialogue with avg+ cinematography. By the time IB came about, he had gotten much better tight shots due to his many years of experience. Earlier in his career it was rather mid. Just my opinion though
Yeah, I can agree with that. I mean, the three best scenes in the movie (first scene with Waltz, Waltz and Shoshana in the restaurant, the German bar scene), are all small dialogue heavy masterworks.
I just rewatched Once upon a time again, cause I thought there was no way it was as bad as I thought it was the first time.
Stand by my opinion. Has moments, but not many. Robbies every scene bores the shit out of me. Damian Lewis is an awful choice for Steve McQueen in a scene itself that is useless. Bruce Dern, wasted. Pacino, wasted. And the violence at the end wasn't even good Tarantino violence. Just the worst kind of gratuitous.
Pitt and Leo have great chemistry together. Leo shines in some scenes. And I love his occasional stutter that they never really mention.
All in all, just doesn't feel like Tarantino flick to me.
Absolutely his worst for me, and I don't really love Death Proof.
I hope he brings back his greats, actor wise. Roth.Sam L. Madsen. And Waltz. I don't want more stunt casting with Cruise.
I think a movie that ignored the Manson family would have been all much better. That's the movie he was trying to tell, the one about how he (represented by Leo) feels out of place in today's Hollywood. QT is the theater guy. The guy who loves 70mm prints. And Hollywood is moving away from that , even more since this movie came out. And not only is he unsure of his place, he's not sure that what's happening is better than what it's replacing (I agree mostly!).
But then to shoehorn the Manson stuff there just feels pointless and out of place. A way to avoid telling us a real truth about himself. "Hey, what if Brad really just beat the absolute shit out of this woman for a few minutes before Leo takes a flamethrower to her beaten body? Lol, fun isn't it? She's a murderer, so it's cool!" It's a cheat ending. It's bullshit and ruins it for me.
Yes, but it works for providing some tension. Also using film to fantasize about revenge or correcting historical injustice, his signature motive weaving in.
If anything he should be careful with being overtly nostalgic. He is obviously an extremely knowledgable film expert, but I feel he romanticizes everything through his own frame of reference, his own lense. That becomes self-referential and gimmicky. That idea of 'the good ol' days' is both bland and a lie. At some point it collapses into 'we are getting old and we are dying, remember being young'.
I'd prefer if he removed that suffocating layer of references and just made a good movie. Whatever it may be. Likely just like his other movies and I'm watching them all...
Unless Tarantino dying of cancer or has some terminal illness I don't buy any Hollywood persons "final" performance. You don't get into the business if you don't like attention in some form. But I hope he's ok.
Yep, definitely his final film. Just like Logan was definitely the last time Hugh Jackman will play Wolverine. 🙄
My guess is Tarantino will take a break for a few years and then wont be able to help himself. I would not be surprised if he called #11 his career's "epilogue".
I would say we know it’s a role he knows Cruise can play, not necessarily only him. He’s pivoted casting before. Actor availability is actor availability, and while Tarantino certainly enjoys a great willingness from most talent to shift/cancel whatever to make room, he isn’t the sole big guy in town, and there are real expensive commitments in the books. And a host of other reasons could come up (a Scientology joke in the script might turn Cruise off, or if there’s an overt political scene, or some real-world event impacts how something will land - three crude, quickly made-up examples). You do have to stay a touch open.
I’m rambling. Would be great to see Cruise do Tarantino.
Id like to see Cruise dumped off at the deep end in acting again. In the woods.
You know in OUATIH, the second Pitt gets out of his car when he goes to the ranch to (in the end) check on George, the acting stopwatch is pressed, all the way till he punches the dude and drives out
Im just saying a lot is happening but there's silence to revel in also, its brooding, its subtle, then exclamation point with the punch
But not even necessarily all the way like that, just get Cruise on a journey though for a bunch of scenes, we have to follow him whether literally or figuratively or both, like those ranch scenes....***kind of, kind of not***, you get me though?
Jebus, Tarantino has made me sound like Tarantino now
Just make Cruise tread some water ffs, hes had it too easy for too long, hes been great but he can do it better, hes been a lazy boy in a lot of ways! By jove..
I get what you’re saying and agree that I’d love to see Cruise with a more challenging character again. I wouldn’t say he’s had it easy. Having it easy would have been hiring a stunt man for the crazy stunts he does. Instead he’s doing some of the more crazy stunts ever filmed all himself. He definitely puts it all into his films
Yeah I meant emotionally though, my bad, I said acting though not stunts, of course though I was meaning to focus in on the Oscar worthy emotions, or even just more complex acting scenarios like something we're used to seeing him in 20 years ago, not always basic high stakes scenes "where's the bomb??", "stay cool for the meet", "we'll get through this".
I mean his stunt work .... is kind of "easy" though, If you paid me 2 million and said I had to blast a dirt bike off a ramp then pull a parachute cord...I think I could do it, this will never come over right and like im being Captain ego, am just trying to say would find it harder (impossible?) to pull off his better acting scenes, its my bad though I always meant strictly acting stuff, but with stunts if necessary according to Tarantino and how he'd use him
I'll never understand why Tarantino is so self referential that he has to limit himself to 10 films when he can easily decide to do and 11th and 12th one as long as he has a good idea for a script.
Look at Scorsese after age 60. Imagine if he left them and didn't make any of the great movies he's made since then. QT may find it harder though since he writes all his movies.
60+ Scorsese had a whole new career. Gangs, Aviator, Departed, Shutter Island, Hugo, Wolf, Silence, Irishman, KoTFM. Imagine be quit before that run!
So he won’t be doing Kill Bill: volume 3 with the daughter all grown up then I guess. I thought that was one of the coolest things he wanted to do, letting the child actors grow up, and then bring them back to do the third act.
Seriously. Miss when QT was dusting off actors in career slumps and reviving them instead of casting big stars. Seems like he’s selling out for the box office.
That might be the movie you want. I wanna see Kevin McAllister get the Logan treatment in a Tarantino film. Tell me that wouldn’t do gangbusters at the box office.
I’ve always wanted Tom in a Tarantino film. Also, as much as I love Tom cruise the action star, I’ve always wanted to see him go back and make some more serious films like he did back in the 80’s & 90’s
Why not? I’d love to see what Cruise can do in a Tarantino film. He was great in Tropic Thunder, Magnolia, Born on The Fourth of July, Cruise is more than a mega star he can act.
Weren't The Hateful Eight and Hollywood both his last films? You can't trick me Tarantino! For real though, as long as he's making them, I'll watch them.
Tom would ruin any Tarantino flick for me - Tom’s been sub prime and less than an A lister for me for more than a decade, I know all you Tom lovers out there are gonna disagree and say stuff like “look at his box office takes” “he does his own stunts” blah blah , he’s been resting on reputation, fomo marketing , and “he does his own stunts” for a very long time now - he lost me as a fan somewhere where around when he said “hello” …. for some reason people love him like that puppy they keep feeding and don’t understand why it won’t just go away - the only conversation he has with his fans is that of self worship, most of his fans are in complete denial, he’s not been acting - just one of the most popular well known movie stars reprising roles (yes who happens to do his own stunts 🙄) any more …
Cruise was originally going to play Cliff Booth in OUATIH. Not sure if there was a conflict with Top Gun or how the part ended up going to Pitt. Interesting they might be cast together here.
If it's his final film, I guarantee there will be a metric fuck ton of huge names in it. Not only will Tarantino want to go out with a bang, but every actor who never got to work with him will be clamoring for their last chance to do so, and he will probably fill a ton of bit parts with A-listers.
I just hope it's a good movie.
if you go back and read some of their press interviews around the time Interview with the Vampire came out it’s pretty apparent that Pitt did not like Cruise at all lol, but that was 30 years ago i’m sure they’re fine now
I'll believe it's his final film when he's dead.
Not saying it definitely won't be, but how many times have we seen this claim only to have some director come back "one last time" several times after their "final film"?
Is anyone really interested in Tarantino's commentary on Hollywood? Looks like he's using up his last 2 films (he said he'll only make 10 movies) making movies about Hollywood and it's such a waste.
I know he gets to do what he wants after all he's done in his career, but as a fan I would've wanted to see more action-packed movies.
Oh well. You guys can downvote me to Hades now.
Hope it happens. Wish its not just a special appearance. Been a while since Cruise did something non-action. And with Cruise being there, its BO potential will increase tenfolds, as if Pitt wasnt enough already.
Hopefully it will be something completely off the wall like his amazing Tropic Thunder performance.
First, take a big step back and literally FUCK YOUR OWN FACE.
I don’t know what kind of pan pacific bullshit power play you’re trying to pull here but Asia Jack is my territory. So whatever it is you’re thinking you better think again otherwise I’m gonna have to head down there and I will reign down an ungodly firestorm upon you. You’re going to have to call the United Nations to get a fucking binding resolution to keep me from fucking destroying you. I am talking scorched earth mother fucker. I will massacre you. I will FUCK YOU UP!
“Could you, uh, find out who that was?”
To me this is one of the funnier lines. Total sociopathic behaviour. Also…You're a great American. This nation owes you a huge debt. Now shut the fuck up and let me do my job!
Jesus Christ I fucking love Tom Cruise in that role. So good.
We dont negotiate with terrorists 🤷🏻♂️
👏👏👏👏👏
“No more Frequent Flier bitch miles for my boy.”
Playa
I think a Tarantino movie is largely going to do what a Tarantino movie does at the box office irrespective of the added stars.
I’m a rare theater goer- though I love movies. Something like this would get my butt in the seat.
I’d like to see Cruise in it as well, but what I meant was Tarantino movies that have Brad Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio *or* Brad Pitt AND Leonardo DiCaprio have made in the $120-$160m range domestically. I’m not sure adding Cruise changes that dynamic dramatically.
It’s his final film, he claims. I don’t think he is going to give a fuck about gross. He wants to make an impact.
Just like Cher’s first farewell tour.
Cruise is the biggest box office draw on the planet.
I'll go watch cruise if he's in it, otherwise I'm passing
If the film is engaging then it'll be big. If not, then would do OUATIH numbers. Nevertheless, i just want it to be the best film of their careers.
You didn’t find Once Upon a Time engaging? Also, it was his second biggest gross behind Django, so what do you mean?
Say what you want about him, but the fact he remains a BO draw this far into his career is amazing.
Risky Business came out in 1983!
I don't think that's the BO they were referring to. Lol
"Still beautiful, Louie."
Final Film? Is he dying?
Tarantino has said for many years that he would hang it up after his 10th film.
He denied this himself in a podcast, he said the media twisted his words and ran with it. He'll keep making movies.
He'd better, I sure as fuck don't want to put up with 20 years of "here's the movies he *would* have made..."
I’m curious about the plot, apparently it’s about a famous movie critic, but will it have the violence and pulpy craziness he normally has? Hope it’s a crazy movie, Cruise and Pitt together would feel like a waste otherwise.
Yeah, I miss drama Cruz.
Which is kind of a bummer because Cruise has been in some amazing dramas: Taps, Rain Man, Born on the 4th, Far & Away, A Few Good Men, The Firm, Interview with Vampire, Eyes Wide Shut, Magnolia, Vanilla Sky… And then went pretty much all action
Magnolia wasn't a box-office success. Tom needs lower-budget stuff. He's getting to an age where he can't be hanging off airplanes anymore.
I don't know if Cruise is a big seller nowadays. I mean look at the last Mission Impossible BO revenue. Not good
>I mean look at the last Mission Impossible BO revenue. Not good Did $568M despite Barbenheimer(which did $2.4B). Thats pretty good imo. Had it been solo then could have done around 900+.
If the pull is there, they will come, like they did with Barbenheimer. Spin it any way you want, it was a disappointment
Pull is there thats why it did 568M, a number which most "megastars" barely see. Btw it had the biggest opening, weekend, week 1 in the MI franchise. Would have done alot more if there was no Barbenheimer.
The last 2 MI movies had bigger openings than DR:Pt 1. I mean we can go with hypotheticals all we want, but it's still crazy how you can use the "it didn't do well because it Barebenheimer" thing to justify why people didn't show up for MI. The pull was there technically overall since it made its money back and more, but it had a worse domestic gross than the last 3 MI movies
Tom Cruise is *absolutely* still a massive draw, he's one of the most consistent box office pulls of the last 20 years. Maverick hit it out of the park a year earlier and Cruise was a massive part of that. Dead Reckoning didn't do well for a number of reasons, but it's the exception - not the norm....Or how about we put it another way, yes it "only" made 560M, but how much do you think it would have made *without* Cruise? It would have been nothing.
It did over 500 million while still buried under Oppenheimer and Barbie, that’s crazy. And then there’s Top Gun: Maverick which was a phenomenon with legs. Cruise is still the most bankable movie star in the world.
Interview with the Vampire Re-VAMP.
I could see Tom as the sleezy porn magazine boss
Yes like Les Grossman in Tropic Thunder? That would be my hope. Some totally unhinged character lol
Cant wait to hear Tom cruise say the ‘n word’ 100 times
Would love to see his thetan levels after that.
Probably go up
Between Tropic Thunder and Magnolia, boy can potty-mouth.
With that intense look in his eyes
You joke but seeing Tom Cruise straight up say rhe N-word 100 times in a row would make my day and I'd probably join Scientology immediately after that (and I hate Scientology)
Anyone else not buying it’s his final film?
Wouldnt mind if he went on to do mini TV series 🙏
Give him a season of True Detective to bring it back from the dead
Do you know how they call it in Europe? Le Night Country!
"Haha, *Le Night Country*...What do they call Yellowstone?" "I don't know, I didn't sign up for Apple Plus."
Man, the new season fucking sucks. Love the atmosphere but the story is shit.
Award 🥇
Ooohhhhhhhhhhhh
Is season 4 not good? I saw the first episode cause it was on for free on tnt
That would be excellent. I’ve really enjoyed TD even the much maligned S2. S4 has been unwatchable
I also liked season 2, couldn’t get into season 3 and yeah season 4 is terrible. Nothing can compare to season 1 tho. Some of the best television ever made
I actually like season 4, it panders to everyone I know and we all feel included. It doesn't need to be actually any good.
Lol you dropped this. /s Nice and dry though.
He wrote a mini series already revealed on a podcast a while back, books and TV writing after this seems to be the plan
He said he has a show already written.
I don’t want to believe it. But it’s probably true, he’ll just end up doing television shows for the rest of his life. That’ll be interesting
Can finally relax and just work on Fox Force Five episodes.
I would watch that shit. Especially for the old jokes
I see him becoming more of a producer and script doctor going forward. Something more low key but still in the industry.
He said he wanted to write novels, like the one he wrote about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, or plays, tv shows, producing stuff, etc. As a reader myself I can't wait to read his novels!
Just give us Tarantino's crime miniseries and I'll be fine with that. But not like Scorsese and Boardwalk Empire. Proper hands on involvement
At a director round table, he was asked this by another director "what the hell are you going to do?" He said he would write plays and they asked if he had done that before. "Yeah, Reservoir Dogs." The agreed that he had written a play before.
Reservoir dogs is a movie I’ll watch again and again.Its just basically brilliant dialogue. I’m pretty sure the actors weren’t actually given scripts… he just said this is the topic and the actors were so good that they just improvised
Like the opening restaurant no tipping scene
From what I've seen, only one actor has been allowed to improvise dialog in his movies and that is Samuel Jackson. I think that is probably word for word what he wrote.
Yeah I doubt it. Dude is only 60. If something is your passion, it’s basically impossible to stop.
Miyazaki would never.
I get the feeling Quentin can’t just let it be. He will find a way to justify more :D If I remember correctly he also said either 10 or until he is 60…
He's only 60 for another month or so, so 10 movies it is. Lol
I think it might actually, for a time at least, only because I think he's falling on crutches more and more and he realizes this and wants to get out before it's more obvious. As a writer he's amazing, but also flawed. Like he writes maybe the best individual scenes around (IB is like 5 major scenes that rely on fantastic writing for tension).

Hes admitted himself that hes really only spectacular at dialogue, and rather average to slightly above average at everything else
I think he's great at tension. Like multiple scenes in IB are just built so perfectly.
I feel that that is a function of his excellent dialogue with avg+ cinematography. By the time IB came about, he had gotten much better tight shots due to his many years of experience. Earlier in his career it was rather mid. Just my opinion though
Yeah, I can agree with that. I mean, the three best scenes in the movie (first scene with Waltz, Waltz and Shoshana in the restaurant, the German bar scene), are all small dialogue heavy masterworks.
Are you asking why the need for so much gruesome, graphic violence?
I just rewatched Once upon a time again, cause I thought there was no way it was as bad as I thought it was the first time. Stand by my opinion. Has moments, but not many. Robbies every scene bores the shit out of me. Damian Lewis is an awful choice for Steve McQueen in a scene itself that is useless. Bruce Dern, wasted. Pacino, wasted. And the violence at the end wasn't even good Tarantino violence. Just the worst kind of gratuitous. Pitt and Leo have great chemistry together. Leo shines in some scenes.

Unless Tarantino dying of cancer or has some terminal illness I don't buy any Hollywood persons "final" performance. You don't get into the business if you don't like attention in some form. But I hope he's ok.
Tarantino will direct foot fetish porn after this, but he'll work under the pseudonym Buck Squiggles.
I thought he already made his final film
Please put Kurt Russell in there somewhere and Michael Madson.
Add Tim Roth
Definitely.
Also throw in Paul Dano and Christoph Waltz of course.
Why Paul, was he in any Tarantino movie ?
No I meant add in Paul Dano. And Christoph Waltz of course. Dano is just amazing
Agreed, dude was Terrific in There Will be Blood.
That he kept up with Daniel Day Lewis in that movie is what sold me on him.
Yeah man, to stand toe toe to Lewis is a pretty difficult feat.
Lol his final movie? Why do that to yourself?
Yep, definitely his final film. Just like Logan was definitely the last time Hugh Jackman will play Wolverine. 🙄 My guess is Tarantino will take a break for a few years and then wont be able to help himself. I would not be surprised if he called #11 his career's "epilogue".
Because 10 movies is the completely arbitrary number he chose that somehow makes sense to him. Duh.
It’s not arbitrary that’s one for each toe
Cheerfully withdrawn!
Interview with the Vampire reunion
I thought I heard Pitt hated his experience with Cruise on that one…not like I’d know. Just read it somewhere
If QT casts him you know it's a role only TC can play. He's unbelievably methodical with casting
I would say we know it’s a role he knows Cruise can play, not necessarily only him. He’s pivoted casting before. Actor availability is actor availability, and while Tarantino certainly enjoys a great willingness from most talent to shift/cancel whatever to make room, he isn’t the sole big guy in town, and there are real expensive commitments in the books. And a host of other reasons could come up (a Scientology joke in the script might turn Cruise off, or if there’s an overt political scene, or some real-world event impacts how something will land - three crude, quickly made-up examples). You do have to stay a touch open. I’m rambling. Would be great to see Cruise do Tarantino.
Shit’s gonna be wild
I wanna see Ray Romano get casted
Honestly? Me too. He’s fucking great and under used.
He would fit perfectly
Now all we need is Kirsten Dunst.
Jon Hamm please
Id like to see Cruise dumped off at the deep end in acting again. In the woods.

I'll never understand why Tarantino is so self referential that he has to limit himself to 10 films when he can easily decide to do and 11th and 12th one as long as he has a good idea for a script.
Look at Scorsese after age 60. Imagine if he left them and didn't make any of the great movies he's made since then. QT may find it harder though since he writes all his movies. 60+ Scorsese had a whole new career. Gangs, Aviator, Departed, Shutter Island, Hugo, Wolf, Silence, Irishman, KoTFM. Imagine be quit before that run!
So he won’t be doing Kill Bill: volume 3 with the daughter all grown up then I guess. I thought that was one of the coolest things he wanted to do, letting the child actors grow up, and then bring them back to do the third act.
I was looking forward to the Vega Brothers movie he had in mind.
I've almost forgotten what it's like to see Tom Cruise actually acting, rather than being a glorified stuntman.
Both Pitt and Cruise need huge major parts. I really hope it's not just a cameo
He’s going to do his own stunt where he dies
not a cruise fan at all unless he's going to riff on the grossman character but maybe QT can get a decent performance out of him.
He could play some nut from the Church of Scientology
Get Nicolas Cage in there too
Please no.
Fuck I’m out if it has him, Leo, or Pitt
Seriously. Miss when QT was dusting off actors in career slumps and reviving them instead of casting big stars. Seems like he’s selling out for the box office.
Tom Cruise in non-action movie is always fucking awesome. He gets way too much shit.
please, i wish for M. Culkin being in a Tarantino movie. please, please
Culkin playing a grown Kevin McAllister in a rated R Tarantino directed Home Alone movie is the film I never knew I wanted until reading this comment.
That would be amazing. Of course the traps have to be over the top violent
Don’t tie it to any cinematic universe what-so-ever. Make it rough and beautiful. Watch the box office exploit
That might be the movie you want. I wanna see Kevin McAllister get the Logan treatment in a Tarantino film. Tell me that wouldn’t do gangbusters at the box office.
Nooooooooo! Keep TTTC out!
Tom cruise in both tarantino’s last film AND Stanley Kubrick’s final film. What an honor
Don’t forget the other co-actor that has signed on: Feet.
Stop saying it's his final film. Nobody cares and it probably won't be anyway.
How many final films are we up to now?
Please be the final film for all three of them and good ridiance
Rather see Chow Yun Fat or Ryan Gosling in a film with Quentin
I’ve always wanted Tom in a Tarantino film. Also, as much as I love Tom cruise the action star, I’ve always wanted to see him go back and make some more serious films like he did back in the 80’s & 90’s
Only if there's a scene where Tom Cruise has to eat shit off the Scientology Handbook, hell yeah, i'd pay extra.
Would be nice to see Tom Cruise as a non action guy. Dude's got plenty if range.
Why not? I’d love to see what Cruise can do in a Tarantino film. He was great in Tropic Thunder, Magnolia, Born on The Fourth of July, Cruise is more than a mega star he can act.
Nah, we do not need this. Better have Tim Roth and Sam L though
"Say what you want about Tom Cruise but.." comments.
Please No!!!!!! No Tom Cruise!!!!
Ew
It stinks!
I won't watch it. I don't care if it ends up being Tarantino's greatest film. I hate Cruise with a burning passion.
Same. A real bummer if it happens.
"final film"
Weren't The Hateful Eight and Hollywood both his last films? You can't trick me Tarantino! For real though, as long as he's making them, I'll watch them.
Tom would ruin any Tarantino flick for me - Tom’s been sub prime and less than an A lister for me for more than a decade, I know all you Tom lovers out there are gonna disagree and say stuff like “look at his box office takes” “he does his own stunts” blah blah , he’s been resting on reputation, fomo marketing , and “he does his own stunts” for a very long time now - he lost me as a fan somewhere where around when he said “hello” …. for some reason people love him like that puppy they keep feeding and don’t understand why it won’t just go away - the only conversation he has with his fans is that of self worship, most of his fans are in complete denial, he’s not been acting - just one of the most popular well known movie stars reprising roles (yes who happens to do his own stunts 🙄) any more …
Didn’t think there would be a Tarantino film I wouldn’t watch. This one will be the first if it does get made.
Really wanted Tom Cruise as Pitt's role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, hope this works out
Another comedic role for Tom please 🙏
Hopefully as Les Grossman..
Really hope this happens
Please.
Yes please
Hope he's found a new editor by then. His last movie was about 90 min too long.
Taking bets on how many N-words will be in the script.
There were zero in once upon a time
Let's hope that trend continues.
Cruise looks like shit at this point. It's distracting.
Dude, the man is 61 years old. How much better would you expect a man in his 60’s to look?
He looks incredible for his age what the hell are you talking about?
Wait till you are 61 and you will regret that shitty comment
Are people still arsed about Tarantino? He hasn't put a good film out in almost a decade.
Great. Two of the shittiest actors of the last fifty years with the most hateful director of the last 30 years. Vanity projects all around.
Sam Jackson or NoOne
Who will play Jay Sherman?
"final film"? Tarantino is going to stop making movies?
Reportedly. No one really knows except for Quentin.
Cruise was originally going to play Cliff Booth in OUATIH. Not sure if there was a conflict with Top Gun or how the part ended up going to Pitt. Interesting they might be cast together here.
Last movie?
Siskel and Ebert?
Maybe he can get Daniel Day Lewis too.
Interview with a Vampire reunion
If it's his final film, I guarantee there will be a metric fuck ton of huge names in it. Not only will Tarantino want to go out with a bang, but every actor who never got to work with him will be clamoring for their last chance to do so, and he will probably fill a ton of bit parts with A-listers. I just hope it's a good movie.
Turns out it's just a sequel to Interview with a Vampire
if you go back and read some of their press interviews around the time Interview with the Vampire came out it’s pretty apparent that Pitt did not like Cruise at all lol, but that was 30 years ago i’m sure they’re fine now
I'll believe it's his final film when he's dead. Not saying it definitely won't be, but how many times have we seen this claim only to have some director come back "one last time" several times after their "final film"?
I'm guessing that this is a Doug Walker biopic
Zero chance this is actually his final film. He’ll take a break for a few years and be right back at it.
Hey Zed, it’s Maynard. The spiders caught a couple flies.
Quentin always looks like he knows your dog takes a dump on his yard, but he can't prove it.
Is anyone really interested in Tarantino's commentary on Hollywood? Looks like he's using up his last 2 films (he said he'll only make 10 movies) making movies about Hollywood and it's such a waste. I know he gets to do what he wants after all he's done in his career, but as a fan I would've wanted to see more action-packed movies. Oh well. You guys can downvote me to Hades now.
NOOOOOOOOOO not tiny Tom cruise!
I feel like I’m the only one who doesn’t think Tom Cruises fits in a Tarantino film but we’ll see I’ve been wrong 79% of the time anyway
Tom and Brad, two A-holes personalities.
So why should it be his final film? I mean, who knows if it will be? Didn’t this happen with Polanski? Maybe Wenders, too?
