The actor Tom Cruise is no longer the Hollywood star who with each new premiere made $ 100 million in revenue, easily, in the USA. His latest films have hit the box office and "Night and Day", which will be released shortly, I don't think it will help him to monopolize the world box office this year either.
Thus, Tom Cruise is even willing to star in a movie where he would reprise the character of Les Grossman, one of the characters in the movie "Tropic Thunder" and the biggest hit in recent years for Cruise.
In addition, Paramount, the future producer of this film, has released the following comments on the subject:
"Les Grossman's life story is an inspiring tale of the classic human struggle to achieve greatness despite vicissitudes," said Ben Stiller, who will produce the film with Tom Cruise and Stuart Cornfeld. "He assured me that he plans, I quote, '... to make damn' Citizen Kane 'look like a crappy home movie by the time we're done.' I am honored to be working with him.
When asked about the film's plot, Grossman himself replied, “To quote my great friend Kirk Lazarus, 'I don't read the script, the script reads me.'” As fans know, Lazarus is a character. portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. in "Tropic Thunder."
“Everything I learned in this business, I learned with Les. I started out as his assistant, and from day one he threw the desk on me when I made a mistake with my lunch order. I loved him like a father, ”said Paramount Film Group President Adam Goodman.
