Tom Cruise goes to the Winchester and enlists the aid of Shaun!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with another interesting bit of casting on M:I3. I never got into ALIAS, but I'm a gonzo fan of LOST and am now a gonzo fan of JJ Abrams' casting on M:I3. Hollywood Reporter says Simon Pegg has been added to the cast that already includes Philip Seymour Hoffman, Laurence Fishburn and Billy Crudup. I hope he's a British agent that saves the lousy American agent's ass over and over. Of course, he also has to the get the girl at the end of the movie. So says I. What say you?

Seems as if Pegg may well become Brittain's next big comedy movie star. He'll be fighting Coogan, and Gervais for it, Good luck to him.

..she ain't no friend o mine!

Wow, that's a mighty fine cast for Cruise to ignore in the f
by cash bailey
I see Ving Rhames' name isn't there. Maybe he didn't want to play the wise-cracking cameo again.
-
...this thing has a really amazing cast going for it now... I just hope they don't make Simon the wimpy geeky comedy English guy. With so many actors in it, it is gonna be interesting to see if Abrams and the crew can give some depth and personality to these characters in between the action.
-
....but is it good news for Cruise? I'm sure such an overtly hetero man would prefer to star opposite some hot young starlet.....
-
Haven't they been filming for a month or so now?
-
...I subscribe to the "Good News for Cruise" monthly man letter actually, and can assure you, and everyone else here, without any outside influence from Thambert R Higglespeak, or anyone else from Mr Cruise's legal representatives, that he is indeed a fine example of hetrosexuality. I look forward to yet another fine hetrosexual portrayl of a hetrosexual character , in this hetrosexual film, by the hetrosexual Tom Cruise. End of hetrosexual story.

I bet he plays the British comic-relief guy with no balls
by quantum_ken
Like the Noah Taylor role in Tomb Raider. But Noah Taylor's Australian.
-
I will certainly cheer when Simon Pegg's name appears in the credits. Like lost, I hope this is going to be a proper ensemble peice, unlike the last MI movie which more or less resembled a shampoo ad with Tom Cruise in it.
-
To save his fragile ego.
-
Because the Mission Impossible TV shows were all about one guy doing everything with a couple comic relief sidekicks to stare and drool over him walking in slow motion with doves flying behind him. Anyway, since daddy's little PR stunt has been timed to hatch for a July 4th opening, the question is will they induce labor right before the release of the film or make Kat hold it in until after the opening weekend? In any case they can't let it make them miss the premiere.
-
I agree that Simon Pegg will probably end up portaying a bumbling British spy. Have you noticed the current trend in Hollywood that all foreigners (especially the British) are portrayed as incompotent (comedy) fools. The American is always the resourseful, handsome, upright hero who pulls them out of trouble. Is this the way Americans currently view their role in the world? If so, it may explain a lot.

Tom "I LIKE GIRLS, I SWEAR!" Cruise Goes To The Winchester...
by zombiesolutions
then he leaves after he realizes it isn't the gay club he was looking for. regardless, he meets a nice young man in an alley and gets to know him repeatedly until the meth runs out.
-
Have you noticed that they are assembling a kick ass group of actors to join this movie? Have you noticed that said actors are joining this movie HALFWAY THROUGH PRODUCTION?! This scares me because it basically means that they satrted filming this thing without 2/3 of the cast on board. I mean Pegg, Crudup and Q have been added in the past few weeks. They started filming in JULY! I don't know. I really want this movie to kick a lot of booty but I just ain't feeling the vibe. Damn Scientology! Damn it to hell!
-
Here's the plan - drive' to TomKats, kill zombie Cruise, grab Katie, head to the Winchester, and wait until the calvary arrives.
-
Just accept that it's going to suck ass and move on. I thought the last one was the height of hubris but I think Cruise will take it up a notch with this one. I predict this film will just be Tom looking into a mirror and masturbating in slow motion for 2 hours with an Enya soundtrack and of course, doves flying behind him.
-
But I believe he'll be one of two parts:
1. The techno geek friend who is killed off and needing revenged after a tear filled death in the arms of Cruise (see Spaced and Paint Ball) or a building explosion.
2. The evil Brit henchman of the main bad guy...which I would actually prefer. -
Those allegations are completely unfounded, and completely worthy of liable!!! You should subscribe to the "Good News For Cruise" news letter, and general all round hetrosexual publication, like me and ThisIsTheGirl currently do, along with over 17 other members. It might do you some good to see page after page of hetrosexual naked men - might get you're mind off the whole gay thing.
-
I'll support him in whatever he does. Consider my ticket for MI3 officially bought. Nice one Mr Pegg!
-
Katie holmes doesnt have a mind since Cruise Sucked it out of her.
Who here finds that whole Silent birth thing really creepy and sinister.

That would also make it infinitely better than the first two films.

please quint, rethink your notoric "what do you say" conclusion line at the end of your posts. it is plain uninspired. although i like the idea of this "c`mon, i wanna hear your point, we`re living in pluralism and democracy", there should be some other way to motivate TBers. i especially like those chud message board motivation slogans (in this case: don`t use the zed word on our message boards!)...!!!!!!!!!! i think aicn could really use some inspired fresh writing these days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.(and i TRULY STILL LOVE THIS SITE.) it`s kinda cheap though to always have the same "whaddaya think" line tagged under the article...

Seriously. He's got mad talent. If a second-rater like Jack Black can get the star treatment, Pegg should get double. But he probably doesn't like the idea of being a big star and all the trappings that go along with it--another reason why he's so beloved by his fans.

Cheers to JJ! And cheers for Cruise for giving JJ this level of control.
-
I like Pegg as much as anyone, and Shaun of the Dead is possibly my all time favorite movie, but give Jables some credit. Watch the original Tenacious D shorts. Jack and Kyle are genius in them.
-
I don't think he's gotten the recognition he deserves yet, although I guess that'll change after Kong. I just hope he doesn't forget the D.

Tom Cruise should fear Simon Pegg.
-
the icy albino British villain. You think he's going to be the comic relief support, or maybe a tech nerd? Well you've obviously never seen his Darth Vader impression.
-
he truly grasps the "like a drunk who's lost a bet" nature of zombie theatrics. (in addition, i think he could do dramatic acting. i bought that he was upset towards the end of SHAUN.)
-
I hope they all have masks of each other so we never know who is who the entire movie...
-
I watched M:I 1, because it looked good - and it sucked. I watched M:I 2, because I thought it would be cool, because John Woo was directing - and it sucked. I never wanted to see M:I 3 - but now it's written and directed by Abrams, and it got Fishburne and now Pegg! Fuck.
-
Simon Pegg is AWESOME!!!! (he's not my boyfriend....thanks, babe)
I am very concerned about this flick, with Tommy the nutbar, but with Abrams directing, Morpheus, Shaun and the Golden God, they may pull this out of the shite-pile. And love aSTRESSEDavenger's comment! -
And then we need to go after Scientologists. Crush! Kill! Destroy!
Oh, hang on, there's a knock at my door...hang on I'll be right back. -
I'm actually looking forward to this movie a lot. I'm probably in a relatively small minority on that one, but I'm a fan of Abrams' work and the actors he's lined up have got me excited as well.
-
He won't be fighting Gervais for it, who's said on several occassions that he has no interest in it. As for Coogan, he's probably blown his chance already (Around the World in 80 Days, Courtney Love insanity etc.) Simon Pegg is literally my favourite guy ever, but all this post-Shaun stuff worries me. Still, better this than that "Hitmen in the Suburbs" comedy... yeesh.

Cage match... at the thunderdome... with a bottle of Herbal Esscence. Peace.

Based on the movie starring Al Pacino. Actually, having Tom Cruise star in a remake would be interesting. Paul Sorvino could play the Paul Sorvino role.

by leiadown&fuckher
At least that's my guess anyways, given that Gervais' name hasn't been mentioned in regards to this project for a couple months now, but was all over it for a fair while there way back when Abrams first came on board. Regardless, it's gotta be a step up from the last film...hopefully Abrams hasn't blown all his spy antics load on Alias and still has something worthwhile left for this. We shall see I guess.

So speaketh the 75-million-year-old alien thetan residing inside me.
Cruise - an analphabetic dwarf "sciento"logist (actually, both should be in quotation marks, as Hubbard has as much to do with logic as he has with science) with an IQ of about 110 (and that's a generous guess) - and he's a top "entertainer". Yay.
-
is Katie on crack? Here's hoping her dad really does pull out the shotgun. The Cruise farce has gone on long enough.
-
Oh great idea. They're never rubbish. Nuh uh.
Pegg is so overrated. -

I Would Actually Respect Cruise If He Just Came Out...
by zombiesolutions
it's not the he's gay thats the problem -- it's that he's in the closet that's the problem IMHO. he's a coward and a fool. look at Ian McKellan; he's out and people love him. more importantly, they respect him -- not just because he is a talented actor, but because he has the courage to be a man and admit who he really is. Cruise just comes off like a whiny, ridiculous bitch. and Katie Holmes is robot. a cute lil robot, but a robot nonetheless.
-
try 30. and this is me this time, not my roommate (the bastard). tom cruise is an overrated, egocentric douchebag who loves the press and (probably) loves the cock. he's worked with a frightening number of talented directors (stone, scorsese, depalma, ridley scott, neil jordan, pt anderson, stanley kubrick, francis ford coppola, john woo... wow) yet is still best remembered as that guy who danced around in his underwear in the 80s. what a loser. hopefully the oprah debacle and the abortion that is war of the worlds will help the world to wake up and see this guy for the phony mediocrity that he is...
-
Pegg plays Johnny Alpha in a series of audio plays you can download from the BBC website. He is not bad in them, though not very god either. It is hardly appropriate casting for him though, and my bet is he did it because someone offered him the chance to be Johnny Alpha, which no 2000AD geek could possibly turn down.
-
Nice bloke, remember the day I moved in, he popped over and said I could use his shower if mine wasn't working. He was really considerate about things like that and would often enquire over the following months if my shower was still working. I'll never forget the day he banged on my backdoor and asked me to come out and see his erection - him having just assembled a new garden shed from B&Q. And one night after a few too many drinks he had me stroking his cock in the back garden - having just purchased a mate for his pet hen to wanted to show it off.
-
opossums, pet chickens... you guys should get paid for this...
-
What the hell happened with the whole 'No Sex' before marriage thing? I thought Katie Holmes wasn't gonna give it up until she was married. I guess an engagement ring is good enough when it's a multi-millionaire movie star. Let's hope Chris Klein or whoever was dating her pre-Cruise got to get down and dirty. I'd be pretty pissed off if I wasn't getting any boom-boom for a number of months only for my girl to then dump me and get impregnated by the first guy that came along who had a bigger bank balance and career.
