Tom Cruise will be filming scenes for the Sci-Fi movie "Oblivion" starting next week in Baton Rouge.

quote:

A $100 million-budgeted blockbuster, the film comes from an original story by Kosinski that has already been featured in a gorgeously illustrated graphic novel (which can be purchased on Amazon). The film will feature Cruise as a lone soldier stuck on an uninhabitable Earth's surface, fixing drones that protect the planet -- and its sky-bound clone citizens, who live above the polluted clouds -- from attacking aliens. When he finds a beautiful woman in a fallen ship, adventure and an awakening of a past life love ensue. Cruise's next few theatrical releases will cast him in a wide range of film genres; along with the "Mission: Impossible" film, he's currently filming the 80's-set musical adaptation of "Rock of Ages," and just signed on for a political drama with writer Dan Fogleman. There's also the matter of his brash Hollywood agent character Les Grossman, who was featured in "Tropic Thunder" and is now due for his own spinoff.

fricking really? He was awful in Tropic Thunder. One of the worst parts of an already bad movie (maybe bad is a bit harsh, but it wasn't anywhere near as good as it should've been). And they are making a spinoff movie? Wow.

Tropic Thunder was one of the best comedies that has come out in a long time. WTF are you talking about?

It wasn't. I know lots of people who jizz all over it, but it's unwarranted. It was an average comedy, decent at best. I'm not saying it sucked, but with that cast it should've been much better than it was.

And Tom Cruise's character was awful.

That movie fricking sucked man. I had high hopes with all the top actors in it, but I couldn't wait for the damn thing to be over.

A friend of mine took the pic and posted it on her FB. Since it's a phonepic, I didn't know who the hell she meant by "Tom & Katie" until I saw one of the local rags had lifted it and elaborated.

Yeah. Go ahead and count me among those who jizz all over Tropic Thunder. I fricking love that movie and laughed throughout the whole thing.

I do think a Les Grossman spinoff would be bad though.
