OlderTom Cruise’s “Lion for Lambs” Q&A
Tom Cruise attends an advance screening of his upcoming wartime suspense tale Lions For Lambs on Thursday held at the Pelham Picture House in the Westchester County of New York. He also stayed for a Q&A session with movie critics and regular movie theater-goers.
The Robert Redford-directed film is based on a platoon of soldiers stationed in Afghanistan, a senator, a reporter, and a college professor. This is the first United Artists film produced by Tom and producing partner Paula Wagner, since Tom, 45, fell out with Paramount Pictures. Release date: November 9, 2007.
Plot ganked from Wiki because it’s interesting: “Two determined students at a West Coast University, Arian (Derek Luke) and Ernest (Michael Pena), follow the inspiration of their idealistic professor, Dr. Stephen Malley (Robert Redford), and attempt to do something important with their lives. But when the two make the bold decision to join the battle in Afghanistan, Malley is both moved and distraught. Now, as Arian and Ernest fight for survival in the field, they become the string that binds together two disparate stories on opposite sides of America. In California, an anguished Dr. Malley attempts to reach Todd (Andrew Garfield), a privileged but disaffected student who is the very opposite of Arian and Ernest. Meanwhile, in Washington D.C. the charismatic Presidential hopeful, Senator Jasper Irving (Tom Cruise), is about to give a bombshell story to TV journalist Janine Roth (Meryl Streep) that may affect Arian and Ernest’s fates. As arguments, memories and bullets fly, the three stories are woven ever more tightly together, revealing how each of these Americans has a profound impact.

He looks gorgeous! I hope the film does well.
He looks like an overgrown college student from the 1950s
Eww! he is so ugly
Sounds like a good movie.
He just always looks so full of himself. I refuse to see another overrated film of his. I still want my money back from that first awful Mission Impossible movie that made no sense at all.
I see CAMELTOE
LMAO — #2, thats a perfect description.
Tom is an idiot. After he started acting crazy, judgmental and over the top, I cannot stand him.
Tom is all sorts of ugly.
I agree Natalie. But don’t you feel a little sorry for him? I kinda do. He is just a sad, sad, man… But I will never go see any movie of his. That would be just like openly supporting Scientology.
TO ABVOVE a little sorry for him lol cause he’s little short
HE’S JUST FUG AND OVER
GET OVER YOURSEF *****
He looks so padded…I would not be surprised to find out he had a full suit of armour under his clothes. He is so whacked…not one cent of my $ will go in that little man’s pockets. Hate him, and his stepford wife.
Looking hot and young,Tom.
#8 — I agree, I would never support a movie of his. He will not be getting any of my money. He is a sad pathetic little man but I don’t feel sorry for him. Some of his behaviors and comments have been incredibly tasteless and uncalled for, and if people hate him for it well then he brought it on himself.
God bless Tom and our troops!!!!!!!!!!!
poor haters they live here. AAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
I love Tom,Meryl and Redford so I wish them all the best.
HOT AS USUAL. WHERE IS KATIE?
Crossing my fingers this gets recognize by the Academy. Im so proud of Tom working with caliber talents and MGM and United Artists off to a good start.
HOTNESS =]
He is still sporting the Nazi haircut. Luv him but I want his real haircut baaaack.
Tom- you earned every moment of your happiness….
CONGRATS AND GODSPEED…..
I can see the left wingers,media and the Academy people getting behind this movie because it is out to demonize Bush,the war in Iraq and Afghanistan including our men and women in uniform. Its so stupid and depressing to see Americans support the films by Oliver Stone,Michael Moore or buy the music of the Dixie Chicks. Shame really.
I’m neutral about Tom Cruise, I don’t think it’s right to slam his reliegion but when Tom put his feet in his mouth…then
But my one problem with Tom is how he wears his pants and those vest….fugly. What happen, he use to be hot and wear hot clothes…he needs to get the relaxed fit and stop wearing those tight clolthes.
Long as Tom can entertain me, I don’t care about his love life…Kate is an adult and she picked him and had his baby…it’s her choice and nobody else.
Hes a good actor, but, Scientology has made him go cucu.
Met so many celebrities in my life and Tom is so handsome in person and one cool guy as in bighearted and genuine. My personal ranking only boils down to three because the rest are forgettable:
1.Bob Hope
2.Tom Cruise
3.Denzel Washington
4.Rob Lowe
haven’t met Katie yet. Kidman is alright.Kinda cold.
My favorite would have to be Sandra Bullock and Reba. Only a few actresses got beautiful *souls*.
cant help but put Rob Lowe in no.4 The best cast ever would be ER,Frasier and Friends.(Friends onscreen and offscreen) The worst ensemble with fake personnas and such rivalries would be Grey’s Anatomy.
WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO
I miss my Tommy
Love you Tom!
you go boy..
will always support you..
ain’t nothing wrong with shouting out that you love your woman.
eff the haters!
crazy jealous people cause no one has ever gone crazy for them!
It feels like Tom has been gone for a long time in the movies. Glad to see him do a movie. One talented actor.
Im sure this film rocks but the glut of war and terror films will be a disinterest to the public. Even many TV war shows were axed i.e. E-Ring and Frontlines on NBC and ABC. That war show on FX. The Unit and Army Wives are hits only because it really does not deal so much realistically with war but are soapy shows. The last war film that got big bucks was Saving Private Ryan but that was before 9/11. Ofcourse it was a good film but my reaction was like the stunned WTF reaction by Harrison Ford who thought he was awarding the trophy to his Indiana Jones director Spielberg but end up giving it to the awful Paltrow with the stinker film Shakespeare in Love.
Hilarious. Miscaviage finally gave his orders this coincided with pics of tom, because of cours ehe finally got some free time from lusty tommy boy to give orders to his personal trolls…ahhahahhahh
Who wants to watch this piece of DShit in a mmovie anyway, he was alwyas overrated and never got an oscar for his overrated nonsense…too bad Meryl and Redford are in it..but yeah eventually it willbe on tv and even then I DOUBT i WANT TO support a cult leader
so HOT. Hard to believe he’s in his forties like Brad Pitt.
I LOVE YOU TOM!
He looks good, too bad Katie didn’t come.
I wanna see this movie. Robert Redford said this is not an anti-war film but a film that makes you examine the necessity of war. And even if it is (an Anti-war film). Are there any people left out there that actully think this war is necessary?? :/
He will always be Top Gun to me. This movie is not my cup of tea but still wish him the best.
#33 yes there are people that think this war is necessary. Without the presence of the U.S.in the middle east it will be total chaos. Israel will be force to use their nuclear capabilities to defend themselves.
Pro-war people may not get facetime in tv nor are vocal but we do exists.
Go Tom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such a great actor and so handsome.
Most of all he’s a family man.
I watched the trailer and it seems like a captivating movie. To give him his due, he is a superb actor. I think the movie will do well, I mean come on Cruise, redford and Meryl Streep, that should be a watcher. I sure am going to watch it!
I am not missing it either for the world. Tom is the biggest star and will always be a great actor.
I will see for myself if its anti-war,pro-war or a balanced movie. But this is reality Americans cant run away forever.
Im watching because my brother is in high school and there are rumors of bringing the draft back. Im newly married and pregnant and I dont want my child growing up with bombs exploding. I want my kids to live life.
Miapocca and Libraesque should get a life and stop running around on the net doing nothing but hating Cruise and his family. They will lose out in the end when this movie hits. I am watching it myself because I think it is one of those no one should miss.
Its about time we see some pics of Tom.
Tom’s cool and more blessings to come for him.
You too Jared.
Love love Tom cruise and am glad he is back to the big screen, now I should start checking my dairy!!!!!!!!!!!
uggggg he hasn’t aged well
he is turning into his mother! he hurts my eyes.
He is getting to look more and more and like his mother.
Scientologists have been working the night shift. They are also checking their dairy. What the he** for, I have no idea.
I won’t see anything by United Artists. The money goes to Scientology.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TOMMMMMMMMMM!
I love you!
I predict Oscars for both Tom and Kate this year, you just wait and see.
he looks like a . hmmmmm
I’ll be one of the first in line to see this movie.It’s been a long wait to see him again in the screen.God bless you and your beautiful family, Tom!!!
tom u r a great actor and a great man.
Tom looks odd, why does he wear mom jeans? It doesn’t help with his shotness and his roundness.
Gay much?
shortness^
But what has happened to him…..he looks like a fifty year old teenager rotflmao!
I’ve got nothing but love for you, Mr. Cruise - nothing but love.
I see ex scientologist beating themselves, Tom will have the last laugh because this movie is going ot do well.
He looks that way because he’s filming a movie that takes place in the 1950’s. don’t any of you know anything about films? Go to the other blogs where they know nothing about filmaking OK?
Every time I watch a Tom Cruise movie, its like watching Tom Cruise playing Tom Cruise, TC is type casted.
ı have love and respect for you tom. ı can’t wait for this movie. ı don’ t believe war and blood. god bless you
He needs to take some lessons from the other stars on how to wear jeans. He looks like a wide hip woman.
eemo!
Putting aside his cult ties and craziness - Tom should NEVER wear jeans - they do not look good on him - he is too little and should wear other baggy style slacks or something. Ugh….
Tom …your fans are legion in numbers..Now that you are back and have the “hatchet” job in the past…we can look forward to your films again. I personally do not care if you worship rocks..that is your business and life…I personally do not care if you “do” sheep..again..not my concern. What is my concern is to enjoy your films…and be entertained.. That is your job. and you have never failed to do it. We adore your baby…she is the spitting image of you…Welcome Back Tom….You Rock
oh my.
I was there in the theater and was completely in awe with Tom. He is genuinely kind, warm, and good lord handsome. The movie was very touched. Congratulation, Tom!
I LOVE TOM CRUISE, I THINK HE IS A FANTASTIC ACTOR AND TOTALLY OVER DO FOR AN OSCAR. I THOUGHT HIS PARTS IN BORN ON THE FORTH OF JULY, MAGNOLIA, AND JERRY MCGUIRE DESERVED OSCARS.
BUT IT IS APPARENT THAT PEOPLE ARE JUST GOING TO HATE TO JUDGE A MAN BECAUSE OF HIS FAITH IS KIND OF CHILDISH AND IRONIC.
Would you folks tell me that are calling him hot and handsome–why, WHY, WHY? He looks like a sad, aging movie actor trying desperately to hold on to his youth. The hair is ridiculous as are the clothes. I don’t get what you feel is hot or handsome about him.
SORRY TO SAY IT BUT HE IS HOT. HE’S JUST AS HOT AS ANY OTHER OLDER MALE CELEB.
PEOPLE DIDN’T THINK HE WAS UGLY UNTIL THEY NEW MORE ABOUT HIS FAITH.
i love myself a good TOM CRUISE movie.alway’s enjoy him.
May be force be with you Tom.
I thought he spoke beautifully last night and with such heart.
Great movie, Robert Redford was unbelievable in it as well.
hot? huh?

I voted for Pres.Bush but this movie is intriguing enough for me to go see it. Another reason Im watching because I love all the actors in it.
He is NOT aging well at all. I agree with the poster who says he is morhping into his mother. YUCK
I hate the way he wears jeans, they are always too small..he looks like a stuffed sausage. And are his nose and ears growing?
Looking good as ever. Dying to see this movie.
Saw the movie at our University and its really good.
Oscar caliber.
Appears that we are (finally) getting another round of good films being released. Tom, will always be great!
Please support Ben Affleck’s directorial debut, too!
Tom is amazing.Not only he is super talented and hot but really a cool guy. The event last night was sold out and cheering fans along with the reporters were so happy to be with him.
The movie is highly recommended esp for young people to see.
Tom is hot for his age. He looks only 30.
Im sure he will be great in this movie but will be really magnetic in Valkyrie.
Is he in pain?
Perhaps the crotch of those jeans is chafing a bit.
86 de Cosmos :
I think You are on to something there.
:lol:
kewl Tom Thread!
He is walking pretty funny
If this isnt the poster male for gay what is?
Im disapointed that the scientologist cult leader isnt capture in his space ship.
Must be eating a lot of German sausage, he looks fat and that hair & those clothes,, those jeans hahhaaa.
How many german men has he travel with to Brokeback Mountain since he’s been there?
Yucky ewwwwwwwwww!
UGGGGHHHH! Disgusting!
The song Wicked Games by Chris Isaak come to my mind everytime I see your beautiful and sweet face Tom Tom, my love, my sweet baby who need a hug.

Good luck to Tom with United Artists and MGM.
Tis so funny that losers here that do so much hate on Tom and his family are the same ones kissy ass to him when they see him in person. This losers are cowards online.
Tom looks so delish.
Tom is a very talented actor,,respect!
AND he’s so HOT.
Love him.
Who told him that the new hairdo would make him look younger and more like Suri?
They were so very wrong…..
the new haircut serves a purpose as in a new role for his Valkyrie movie playing this German Nazi officer.
His days are gone…He is just a psycho and control freak….Look at his lunatic eyes….Everyone can see how Katie trys hard to pretend she is happy with him with her fake “cheese” smiles…Foei!
GROW UP LOSERS
You are losers and all of you are with envy of Tom. You are nothing, neither rich nor famous and he is.
Hugs and kisses to Tom!!!!!!!!
Tom Invited me to the set of MI3.

If anything I respect Tom MORE for speaking up about waht he believes in. How many people do you see doing that these days? Everyone is worried about their image and their career, they are all fake. But the second someone decides to speak up about something he believes in the media bashes him for it. And I do believe that psychiatric drugs are ruining our society. GO TOM!! This world is going downhill and you are one of the few people who look like you care and are doing something about it. Who else can we count on to turn this commmunity, country, planet around? George Bush? Haha.
Tom looks young in photos but the high definition trailer of Lions for Lambs shows he’s looking his age. I was a little surprised how much older he looked. But he looks a lot younger in photos.
He really is just so ugly to me. Never understood what anyone saw in him. Met him in person and was equally revolted and that was years before he married kidman. Being married to Nicole Kidman was the only redeeming factor for cruise in my opinion. Nomatter his “religion” (hahahahaha) or partner choices - he just UGLY.I mean UGLY - big nose, big teeth, short squatty, stiff, no talent.
