Suri Cruise to Voice Knut, The Polar Bear?

Scientology spokesbaby Suri Cruise may voice Knut, the polar bear at the Berlin Zoo, in a feature film!

Suri, 20 months, visited Knut with mom Katie Holmes and now producer Ash R. Shah and his firm, The Animation Picture Company, which brought us the movie version of Garfield, offered the Zoo Berlin $5 million for the rights to Knut’s story.

According to People, Shah said, “I see the heartwarming relationship between Knut and his caretaker, Thomas Doerflein at the center of the movie … Suri [Cruise] could speak the English voice of Knut.”

WHAT DO YOU THINK of Suri lending her voice talents to an animated version of Knut?

# 8

Can she even talk? I can’t imagine her saying anything but small words or phrases…very small.

# 9

This is a load of cr*p.

She probably speaks pretty well by now considering she is older then what the public has been told.

He’s just following Brad Pitt.

ummm…can you say gay?

yeah right! this is so totally false!

rinimeatballs @ 01/02/2008 at 11:39 am

o.o…they look alike.

anon @ 01/02/2008 at 11:34 am

I didn’t know any of Brangelina’s kids are voicing animation.btw I think it is just disaster to put this kid on HW’s train when obviousle she didn’t ask for it.

SHE MAY VISIT THE ZOO BUT IT DOESN”T MEAN SHE WOULD BE THE VOICE OF KNUT…STOP MAKING SUCH AN IDIOT STORY,JARED

emily santiago @ 01/02/2008 at 11:52 am

she always looks sad, except for one smile at the birdie, why don’t her mother KH & TC (relationship not known) stop exploiting this child, she’s going to be so messed up.

I see this kid being one of the troubled kid stars in the future if they start pushing this stuff on her…let alone rebel against father’s beliefs.

Well we’ve obviously never heard her speak, so we don’t know.

emily santiago @ 01/02/2008 at 12:03 pm

I bet she’ll wind up with blue hair like her sister, even if she doesn’t know her sister, God help these children subjected to these parents/nut cases.

African Girl @ 01/02/2008 at 12:03 pm

LOL @ 01/02/2008 at 11:42 am SHE MAY VISIT THE ZOO BUT IT DOESN”T MEAN SHE WOULD BE THE VOICE OF KNUT…STOP MAKING SUCH AN IDIOT STORY,JARED

Knut: Coming to Theaters and Voiced by Suri Cruise?
WEDNESDAY JANUARY 02, 2008 09:40 AM EST

By Karen Nickel Anhalt

Everybody loves Knut, the polar bear at the Berlin Zoo, who turned one in December. Katie Holmes visited him with daughter Suri, Annie Leibovitz photographed him for the cover of Vanity Fair and a children’s book turned him into a literary hero (Knut: How One Little Polar Bear Captivated the World.

So it’s no surprise that Hollywood is now interested in turning Knut’s life into an animated feature – starring one of his famous visitors. According to German newspaper B.Z., producer Ash R. Shah and his firm, The Animation Picture Company, which brought us the movie version of Garfield, offered the Zoo Berlin $5 million for the rights to Knut’s story.

“With his friendly character, he’s serves as an ambassador for the Earth’s problems – climate change and the melting polar ice caps. A movie about Knut would affect people all over the world,” Shah told the paper.

Heiner Klös, curator at the Zoo Berlin told PEOPLE that the request was received but he didn’t like that the press was already involved. “I can confirm that we received the offer and that we are giving it due consideration,” he said. “When we have come to a decision, then we will handle the matter discreetly.”

Shah added of his plans, “I see the heartwarming relationship between Knut and his caretaker, Thomas Doerflein at the center of the movie … Suri [Cruise] could speak the English voice of Knut.”

Knut has been raised by Doerflein at the zoo since his mother rejected him at birth on Dec. 3, 2006. And no, Shah hasn’t heard from Suri’s agent yet.

well, suri’s voice has not been heard, so we really don’t know if she can make a full sentence yet . but most 20 month olds can make sentences, surprisingly . i doubt she is actually voicing knut though . a visit to the zoo does not mean anything .

they need to take the kid off the bottle. she is almost 2 its time for her to be acting like a little kid and not still be treated like a baby. Also they would be idiots to put the kid into show business at this age.

Can she even talk? besides saying mama and daddy.

AWW. She’s not ugle, she’s a baby, thats why her mouth is like that when she’s drinking or eating anything!!

I think it would be very cute if she would do the voice… and Knut is so cute.. and so are suri,

^ WTH stop spouting nonsense. Most children her age are still on the bottle.

LOVE SURI CRUISE!

cute but i think they will do so when she’s a little bit older. suri is tooo cutee

love that little cutie! gd luck for what ever tomkat and suri do!

nice but she deserves a better role!

much love to that Suri!!!

too cute hehe! i would like to hear her voice

plz dont stop the music @ 01/02/2008 at 12:46 pm

ahhh i want new pics of suri……………….misss herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

too cute for words!!

i like this picture..i think she would sound great…gd luck to her and her parents

they can get an ordinary baby to do that role! suri deserves better

im sure she can talk but really she’s not even 2

They see the Cruises on every tabloid on earth, so they probably would love to capitalize on that, but this rings false nonetheless.

Suri is cute, has eyes like mom. But speaking in the this film; bunch of crapola!!! She’s too young!!!

A person really has to be severly mentally r*tarded to attack a child either verbally or physically.

I hope to god you are not allowed to be in contact with defenseless children such that you can sexually molest and physically/mentally abuse them. Which your type always does.

#26, go jump off a bridge or something, you shallow person!

Badonkadonk @ 01/02/2008 at 1:31 pm

sorry, but Tom is selling her out

outer space @ 01/02/2008 at 1:33 pm

why not she speaks to aliens..yeah hor.e her out tommiegurl and robomom…where are the other kidssssssssssssssssssss

I love Suri. She’s so cute. She’s already in the public eye just by virtue of the fact that she has famous parents, so why not capitalize on it? The paps make money of her, why shouldn’t her parents? It’s a sad reality, but it’s reality nonetheless. And, if the movie really is about some of the problems facing our Earth, it’s not like she would be exploited or something. She would be repeating some lines for what many people believe to be a good cause.

People!!!!Tom and Katie are not even aware of this gossip,i’m pretty sure.But really,any news and fotos of suri makes me smile!!!

#1. she can’t even talk
#2. I doubt the Germans would be very happy with another movie using another Scientologist for any reason

This kid looks like a boy……………NOT cute.

Xenu is her alien god. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

*libraesque* @ 01/02/2008 at 2:40 pm

this is B.S…..are they going to wait 4-5 years to make the movie so she can even DO a movie? And the most obvious is….Knut is a BOY

xxlostgirl92xx @ 01/02/2008 at 3:53 pm

Note: Suri can talk… full sentences (obviously these are not intellectual ‘adult’ sentences - they’ll probably be “i love you” or “suri wants bottle”) too I hear.

But obviously she is still to young to make a film like this (or any film at that) - I mean (one example) she can’t read, so how would she learn her lines? And babies have little attention spans so…that wouldn’t work….it would just be weird…

Another tabloid rumour…full of nonsence.

Knut and Suri are adorable anyway!

What a load of cra*!

the superficial @ 01/02/2008 at 4:14 pm

it’s really sad that her irresponsable parents are trying to make money of her i mean she’s so young she should live a normal life like a baby i’m sure when she will grow-up she’s going to be one of those bad hollywood teens !

laughing at 57 when obviously its the press using Suri to make knut and other things BIG.

Tom and Katie wont allow this just like that Gap modeling was denied.

SURI AND KNUT ARE SOOOOO CUTE BUT THIS IS NOT TRUE.

newsfront and gossip biz slow again to come up with desperations like this? Hugs to Suri and her family!
Praying for knut and other amazing creatures not to go extinct.

She is precious!!!!!!!!!!!!

My favorite baby in Hollywood but not buying this rumor…..

Happy New Year JJ,

Please post some Tom,Katie especially Suri pictures.

Thanks,
Nanci

Buckeyegurl @ 01/02/2008 at 4:45 pm

This just seems goofy to me. She’s a baby for goodness sake.

Just another fun rumor. Loooove Suri Cruise and Knut. They can always draw Suri as Knut’s little sidekick.

she is so damn cute

That would be very cute, and I would love to listen to it.

I truly doubt this will happen

I agree i dont believe this but Suri is drop dead beautiful like mommy and daddy.

cute,cute,CUTE

Chalk it up to another rumor
but knut especially Suri just cuteness overload.
Hope to see more Suri and Katie.

she is cute. is she talking though?

This is just a rumor me thinks but cute rumor nonetheless. The real news is Cruise donating to Brad Pitt’s Make It Right charity.
Its good Tom is keeping this quiet. Katie did the same thing too by using her real name Katherine Holmes.

this bear is soooooooo cute

suri is adorable but i don’t think she can do the voiceover thingy, i mean, does she even speak anything aside from mama and dada?

Gee, why did tom have to put this story out there?

MAYBE because the “family Christmas in Colorado is a HOAX!

They need to get a cute kid to voice Knut..and not one promised to Xenu already.

anonymous @ 01/03/2008 at 2:07 am

SURI IS A GORGEOUS BABY

princess ira @ 01/03/2008 at 4:14 am

gud 4 da lil cutie!!!!

Katie said Suri talks and if she voiced Knut, am 26 so I would go watch it definitely.

I think Suri and Knut are both too cute for words. I think the story is true as in the director did say those words but I think he wanted publicity for the project. People magazine is credible most of the time.

A movie about knut would be popular and even more if Suri was speaking as knut. Suri will be able to speak during filming if it is filmed in a six months to a years time. I doubt she would have a lot to say anyway. She seems clever and mark my words she is going to be a star.

julie palmieri @ 01/03/2008 at 8:09 am

borderline child abuse

I say GO SURI! The thing is that years later she may not be in show business. Right now, she should make her money from all these offers she is getting and after a year, her whole future will be secure before she is even out of her diapers. Not that she needs any more money with daddy worth more than $800 million.

Lovely Suri!!!

I wonder if all these “people” criticising Suri have any children at all?
Otherwise they should know that children, like adults are all different. Seeing as how quite a few of these “people” act like kids themselves, children too are all different.

Besides, this story could be like the one where Suri was supposed to be the face of a Child’s Boutique. Turned out to be totally false.

Why does every sentence made by anyone, has to be taken so literally? It could have been a comment based on wishful thinking.
Like a lot of comments amde in this column where the same “people” are making comments on comments made by someone - people they do not even know and certainly have no proof if the comments were made in the right context.

anyone that believes any of this story is a moron.

aww!! she is sooooo cute!!!

You don’t have to have children to KNOW that tommy puts these FAKE stories out there himself just to keep his FAKE family in the news.

So if people slam the TWO YEAR OLD suri, then BLAME the gay guy, NOT those that post for FUN on this blog.

suri dearest!!!!!! love that little girl!

this is so funny!!! can she even read the script ??? or speak in sentences. hahaha

CUTE* good for Suri!

Just another made up story about a made up family.

HEY tom where are your other children? You have not seen them since Dec 2006.

real cutiepatootie but not buying this gossip

Why does tommy feel the need to pay the tabs to post about him?

suri is such a cutie!

how cute is suri!
love her

plz we need new pics of her. miss her so much

Are u ppl. crazy?

This girl is starting to look more and more like her dad, Joshua Jackson.

Dying to see more of Suri
and Katie.

suri is so cute but can she even have a conversation without saying the same two words over and over again.

WHy doesn’t conner do the voice? Oh that’s right tommy hasn’t even SEEN him or his sister in OVER ONE YEAR.

just saying @ 01/06/2008 at 11:30 am

Andrew Morton’s Book is out on Jan 15th. Has anybody read DListed?

Apparently Suri is LRonHubbard’s spawn(frozen sperm)

Here is his pic

http://www.scientology.cc/resources/img/std/lrh/photo02.jpg

Now that’s eerie..

#105 makes sense. Heard that tommy wants a brother for suri and has sent katie to the dr to see why SHE has not yet become pregnant.
Guess he doesn’t realize that it takes a male sperm donor to make it happen.

FRESHRAGGEDYANN @ 01/07/2008 at 2:31 pm

SHE IS SO PREETY!

http://WWW.VEECE.COM

Suri is nothing more than a photo op 2 year old

Mrs Miller @ 01/08/2008 at 12:07 pm

Cute bear, but ugly, ugly baby

niki malko @ 01/08/2008 at 4:08 pm

Suri should be kidnapped and murdered

niki malko @ 01/08/2008 at 4:08 pm

Suri should be kidnapped and murdered

It’s real cute, but can Suri speak yet? I don’t think so! Besides, the way Tom and Katie push her into the spotlight is making her upset. Poor baby
