Trump Cruises to Super Tuesday Blowout of Nikki Haley

They don’t call it Super Tuesday for nothing. Fifteen states and one territory are holding their primaries on Tuesday, and 854 Republican delegates are up for grabs. Donald Trump is cleaning up so far, and it looks like he’ll walk away from the election cycle’s largest single-day primary dump with the nomination all-but secured. Trump will win the nomination once he secures 1,215 delegates, and for his sole opponent Nikki Haley, the math ain’t’ mathin’. Trump is a whisper away from finally making his de-facto…

Jack Reacher 2 Director Explains Why Tom Cruise’s Sequel Flopped

It’s kind of funny seeing how Lee Child’s Jack Reacher stories are  succeeding on Amazon Prime Video, because when Hollywood took a shot at adapting the stories, they crashed and burned after only one winning feature. The streaming series Reacher is currently in production on Reacher Season 3, with viewers praising the approach to the material, and the casting of Alan Ritchson in the lead role. So, what went wrong with the movies, which had Tom Cruise in the lead (and should have worked better than they did)? If you ask…

Top Gun: Maverick Director Reacts To Grim Fan Theory That Tom Cruise’s Character Dies

There are few things worse than the “It was all a dream” plot twist. It’s lazy, and tired, and really only used when creatives have exhausted every possible scenario. This, mind you, is different from the worthy plot twists that have powered some of the best films from our lifetime, be it Fight Club, The Usual Suspects, Parasite, or Chinatown. They had narrative twists that had us rethinking everything that we watched. But a recent fan theory has us reconsidering the blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick, and even director…

Bad Internet Connection Concealed Cruise’s Pedestrian-Dragging Incident

Cruise, the self-driving car company whose robotaxi dragged a pedestrian, shared footage from the graphic incident with regulators using a bad internet connection, according to an independent review. Cruise didn’t explicitly say that a pedestrian was dragged 20 feet, and hoped screen sharing a video would “speak for itself.” The internet connection was so bad that regulators on the call never saw what happened.Cops Pull Over Self-Driving Car“Internet connectivity issues likely precluded or hampered from seeing the Full…

‘Thunderbolts’ Casting Just Increased Chances of Tom Cruise’s MCU Debut

16 years after Robert Downey Jr. beat him to the leading role in Iron Man, we’re still waiting on Tom Cruise to enter the Marvel universe. But at least his odds just went up thanks to the Multiverse Saga’s latest casting twist. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Thunderbolts may have just found its Sentry. Following Steven Yeun exiting the project due to scheduling conflicts, and reports that Austin Abrams turned down the opportunity to fill his role, actor Lewis Pullman is in early talks to join the Jake Schreier…

Top Gun 3: Release date, cast, plot expectation for Tom Cruise’s Paramount film | Hollywood

Tom Cruise’s Chances of DC Domination Diminish as He Looks To Be Snubbing Warner Bros. In Record Time

Tom Cruise‘s 2023 maybe didn’t go exactly the way he was planning. After he single-handedly “saved cinema” with 2022’s Top Gun: Maverick, everyone expected Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning to similarly blow up the box office. Except it didn’t. Clearly, Cruise is in need of a new franchise. Enter… DC? Earlier this week, the Ethan Hunt actor was announced to have signed a new deal with Warner Bros. to produce both franchise and standalone movies for the studio, which left fans convinced that Cruise was about to be…

2023 was the year Cruise’s robotaxi dream came to a crashing end

The year had started so well for robotaxis. Cruise and Waymo came into 2023 riding high on fresh investments from General Motors and Google, respectively, as well as rapidly growing interest from the general public and a downright rabid rate of adoption by city governments. Things were looking up, very up, for the burgeoning self-driving vehicle industry! Then a driverless Crusie taxi accidentally dragged a hit-and-run victim down a San Francisco street for a few dozen feet and everything just sort of went to shit from…
