Knight and Day (Mangold, 2010) - Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz



Official Site

imdb

An action-comedy centered on a fugitive couple (Cruise and Diaz) on a glamorous and sometimes deadly adventure where nothing and no one – even themselves – are what they seem. Amid shifting alliances and unexpected betrayals, they race across the globe, with their survival ultimately hinging on the battle of truth vs. trust.
The original working title was 'Wichita', and shot in and around Boston and Spain. The current release date is Wednesday June 23, 2010.

Tom Cruise looks pretty fun in this, and even Cameron Diaz comes off looking enjoyable too. It should be interesting to see James Mangold handle this material. I'm totally digging the Saul Bass-like poster concept, too.

Ah yes, the chick flick action movie. Could be entertaining.

"Everyone stay calm. If anyone follows us I'll kill myself and then the girl".

Saw the trailer before 'Avatar' last night.

Cruise could pull it off pretty cool, but I'm betting on it being not very good.

I thought the buddy cop comedy movie was supposed to come before the chick flick action movie..and then before the rom-com.

It looks pretty awful...the trailer was like an extended awful clip (sort of the same feeling I got when watching the New Moon trailer).

No no, the chick always comes first.

My brain is in the gutter today.

I'm still a Tom Cruise fan... but I absolutely can't stand Cameron Diaz.

No go for me.

"I kill myself and then her" was a good line, and I always enjoy Cruise poking fun at himself, but the gag at the end really bugged me.

I also liked the "I'm the guy!" bit.

I think the last thing I saw from Cruise was MI3, but this looks fun.

Yeah, Knight and Day is a much better title than Wichita.

Looks fun, not trying to be anything more than what it is. I know its so not trendy to say, but I'm a huge Cruise fan & see pretty much everything he is in. He is such a pure "movie star", not like all these media darlings like Clooney & Pitt & every other big star today, where the media wanted them to be pop-icons before they even did anything. Assuming the movie is not terrible, I hope he can still draw a big summer crowd on his name alone.

Looks good to me. It's like Mr. and Mrs. Smith without the adultery.

It's exciting to see Tom Cruise in another picture. One of my favorites, popular opinion or not. The man has made some great films, with some great performances.

I don't think I've ever seen such blatant camel toe on a dude let alone Chuck Norris. Who in hell approved that poster art?

Re: Knight and Day (Mangold, 2010) - Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz

Among the trailers before AVATAR, there were only two that interested me, this one and SALT.

When this one started, I immediately assumed it was MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE IV. Hey, why can't they turn MI4 into a comedy? In any event, it looked like it could be amusing. Unless, of course, they put all the funny bits into the trailer.

SALT looks exactly like the kind of Angelina Jolie film I've been waiting for. I've been pushing for a remake of LONG KISS GOODNIGHT with Jolie (not that I have anything against the Geena Davis film, only that I'd like to see a part just as good for Jolie), and this looks similar enough to be the next best thing. I'm there.

Re: Knight and Day (Mangold, 2010) - Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz

Just watched this trailer online, looks surprisingly good. I like Cruise, and I like him even more when he's got the good sens eof humor to poke some fun at himself. I hate Diaz, though. I'm hoping she turns in a generic enough performance that I can at least tolerate her on screen because I want to see this.

i just saw the trailer for this and it looks like a really fun Mission Impossible. I like Tom Cruise in comedy roles.

Looks good. Laughed a lot during the trailer. Hope this isn't another case of the best scenes all being in the previews.
