Tom Cruise and was last pressed. At least in the dizzying media spiral of recent years, when it seemed that his best performances and highest grossing films would be framed in the 1980s and 1990s, with some acting skills filtering to good effect in early 2000 .
After the relative failure of Jack Reacher (2012) and Oblivion (2013), the charismatic actor whitest smile wide and managed to recover with Edge of Tomorrow (2014) and its premise futuristic science fiction.
However, it was this past month, with the world premiere of Mission Impossible: Secret Nation, Cruise resumed the place he owned in the industry. After a first day of exhibition in the United States who beat revenues from other installments of the saga, it was confirmed that the US still had to offer, even if it was only to an eager public of dangerous stunts and intrigue of espionage.
The first weekend of the film, in the words of Vice President of Paramount, Rob Moore, showed that “remains a popular Cruise and Mission Impossible star remains one of the most popular franchises in the United States “.
The science behind advertising
However, as Cruise embarked on a tour of several countries to promote the film, a great omission was evident in all his interviews: Scientology. Revived this year thanks to the revelations of the documentary Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief, the controversial religion inspired a host of questions and provided a safe approach to the actor with the initial excuse to talk about the new Mission Impossible theme.
But the widespread failure of Scientology had nothing to do with ignorance or journalistic touch. The moment of maximum suspicion was generated with the driver Jon Stewart that while he is known for his incisive humor, also obviated the subject. Then one article site The Wrap made clear: those who wanted to interview Cruise were forbidden questions about his scandalous personal life or creed
While most remembered today for his fanatical Cruise promotion. Scientology and its jump into the chair of the presenter Oprah, the actor used to grow so calculated and sheltered as now trying to impose public image.
Early in his career, Cruise preferred to stay away from scandals involving his colleagues. He even took to publicly disclose his first marriage, to actress Mimi Rogers, in 1987. Also, his marriage to Nicole Kidman in 1990, was listed by People magazine as the “best kept secret in Hollywood,” he recalled the Los LA Weekly.
With these recent bans, Cruise seems to be trying to remember a better time in the press focused on her acting skills and not his increasingly vocal eccentricity. At that time, however, the actor had big plans: Top Gun 2 had refused to do The Color of Money (1986), Martin Scorsese, and embark on a path that would give his best and most extravagant dramatic performances. Now, after three decades of experience, the route was changed by action movies, a genre in which he also knows shine.
Now, blockbuster Mission Impossible and the promise of a sixth installment, Cruise add more action with the sequel to Top Gun had so delayed. Hopefully this route does not deprive the insured earnings insane world of genius who had emerged so many decades ago.
