'300: Rise of an Empire' Gets Bumped to 2014, Shuffles Tom Cruise's 'All You Need is Kill'

We haven't seen a trailer yet for Noam Murro's '300' prequel '300: Rise of an Empire' and now there's a very good reason why not. Today, Warner Brothers bumped the film into 2014, which caused Tom Cruise's 'All You Need is Kill' to move its release date as well.

Though Tom Cruise may have gone through a rough patch in his career, that's now completely over as he's being brought back to star in 'Mission: Impossible 5' for Paramount. This has been rumored for a while, but it was confirmed today.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Oblivion' Obliterates the Competition

Jacob Hall — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 16:47:44 +0000

Tom Cruise and science fiction are a powerful combination. Although the opening weekend of 'Oblivion' didn't break any records big or small, it's a more than solid start for a non-franchise, non-sequel, non-reboot. That's a sad statement on the current state of Hollywood, but that's another topic for another day.

'Oblivion' Review

Todd Gilchrist — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 10:43:38 +0000

'Oblivion' is best described as opportunity, squandered. Its landscape – conceptual and physical – feels remarkably unique and bursting with possibilities, but the exploration of both lacks originality, and energy. Joe Kosinski’s follow-up to 'TRON: Legacy' is, like its predecessor, a gorgeously mounted, inventive world-building endeavor, but it’s also equally bloodless -- ponderous without being thoughtful, ambitious without being inspired, much less inspiring. The chronicle of a battle for the fate of humankind that possesses little humanity of its own, 'Oblivion' is an overstuffed compendium of familiar genre tropes rendered with ornamental beauty but not much emotional depth.

Last we heard about 'All You Need Is Kill' -- otherwise known as Tom Cruise's attempt to prove he's "down" with the 'Avengers' and 'Dark Knight' sci-fi actioner crowd -- Bill Paxton was said to be in talks to board the Doug Liman film, which already featured Emily Blunt. Now the latest news comes in the form of a first look photo of Tom Cruise looking like one of the soldiers from the 'Halo' games.

'Top Gun 2′ Not Happening After All, Original Film Will Get 3D Re-Release

Mike Sampson — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 12:05:05 +0000

'Top Gun 2' was once a high priority at Paramount with Tom Cruise and director Tony Scott all set to return - some 25 years later - to classic 80s hit. A script was written and the studio head even said he expected that 'Top Gun 2' would happen before 'Mission: Impossible 5' but now that plans look to have come screeching to a halt and 'Top Gun 2' is grounded for good.

It’s a musical. Centered on the music of Def Leppard, Poison and other 80′s era bands. I have a feeling that it is what is playing on a continous loop in hell…er…I mean it rocks! Right? *shrugs* Tom Cruise as a rock star? A Jefferson Starship dance number?! Summer 2012 can’t get here soon enough…hmmm….

Here is the brand new trailer for the fourth installment in the Mission Impossible franchise (first flick in 1996). This one is longer than the one I posted awhile back and includes more explosions and Tom Cruise being tossed to and fro. Good stuff.

This could quickly take on a life of its own…kind of like the various Hitler reacts to that are all over youtube. Then again, it might not and we may just have to chuckle at this one about ten times in a row. I know I did. Don’t judge me…and my picture better still be [...]

It is officially called Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol but ya get the point… I was an usher in a movie theater when the original came out in 1996 (the summer before I started working at GBF). Included in the summer employees was a super hot blonde named Heather. I wanted to ask her out. [...]
