Re: Mission Impossible 4 -- Coming 2011 -- Cruise to star and produce with JJ Abrams

I'm not a big fan of the series -- I mildly enjoyed #1 when I was younger, #2 was difficult to watch and #3 was pretty boring.

But since Brad Bird is directing, my ass will be in a theater seat the moment this opens.

For a foreign, bootlegged trailer it sure looks like it'll be full of great action.

I don't see Renner being a draw for the series' future, though.

No Maggie Q and Jonathan Rhys Meyers? How lame.

I don't see Cruise being a draw for the series' future. A new personality could be just what this franchise needs.

I agree. I just don't think Renner has "the look" to carry a big franchise on his shoulders.

Nevermind, I must be blind. He doesn't add much to the movies, but I like the idea that at least person other than Tom Cruise has survived every sequel so far.

You're not blind, he's not in it.

Yeah, I've always liked that Eminem song with Pink singing the hook. Just has this flow to it that I love.

BUT most of my friends think it sucks.

As for the movie, Cruise really needs a big hit. I never would've dreamed he'd fall off like he has.

Weird, I saw it on a couple sites like IMDB and Collider that he was in it when they were embedding the trailer.

That sucks, it kind of ruins the team element for me.

Re: Mission Impossible 4 -- Coming 2011 -- Cruise to star and produce with JJ Abrams

People say Cruise has fallen, but his his films still make money. He's never delivered a true bomb. Some have underperformed, but nothing has lost any money. Quite an accomplishment, given the backlash he's had. Kudos.

Hopefully the public is far enough removed from his personal life for M:I 4 to reach it's best b.o. potential.

Knight & Day
Budget = $117 million
Domestic Gross = $76 million

Sure, it made money overseas but Cruise has issues here at home.

The product was the problem. Not Cruise. It was just an artistic and commercial miss. Not very good.

Knight & Day made 258 worldwide. I bame Camerone Diaz for its poor domestic performance, Cruise was the best thing about the film.

Saw the trailer at Transformers last night, and thought it was awesome. Ive always loved the M:I series, but the trailer got very little reaction from the audience

There were a lot of those movies last year (Killers, Knight and Day, Bounty Hunter, The Tourist, Date Night -- domestically Date Night performed the best, Killers performed the worst -- The Tourist won overall) and none of them really did amazingly well, so I think it's a little difficult to blame it outright on Diaz for the domestic performance.

Looks good. I got a Bond vibe out of the trailer. Something about the photography just screams 007 to me.

I love Knight & Day and agree that Cruise was the best thing about it.
