Fascincating find, elski! And a subject close to our hearts. Even if he loses, I hope it serves as a wake-up call to cinemas. Surely they would sell more if they charged less, so what they lost on margin they'd gain on volume?

I notice, however, that he wasn't concerned about the unhealthy nature of the food sold, which is another of my bugbears... so if he could afford to b*y it, he'd probably end up suing them for his obesity instead and want them to p*y for a gastric bypass.

we have a thread for it http://www.fmuk.org.uk/forum/viewtopic. ... 2&p=170840
although it depends on whether there'll be many comps whether it'll get much use :shifty:

I am looking forward to this if it happens, what a combo! Clint, Beyonce and Tom....


From Variety -

With execs buzzing about his performance as an 80s rock star in Warner Bros. and New Line's upcoming musical "Rock of Ages," Tom Cruise finds himself being courted by WB to topline Clint Eastwood's "A Star is Born" along with Beyonce.
Cruise starts shooting Universal's untitled, Joseph Kosinski-directed sci-fi pic next week, and after wrapping production on that film, he's skedded to star in Doug Liman's "All You Need Is Kill" for Warners.

While there haven't been any negotiations, let alone a deal, the studio has been talking to Cruise to gauge his interest in the project, a prospect that Cruise didn't immediately reject, given the chance to work with Eastwood for the first time.

It's unclear whether WB would be willing to accommodate Cruise's schedule, but should he pursue the project, he'd play an over-the-hill musician who falls for a young singer who he's trying to help make a star.
