Tom Cruise may have turned a year older recently, but the actor’s career is far from slowing down. Cruise, who turned 61 last week, has been a part of the entertainment industry since the 1980s and starred in over 40 projects. During a press conference for his latest film, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, in Sydney, Australia, Cruise revealed that he plans to be a part of the franchise for as long as possible. For context, the seventh installment in the Mission: Impossible franchise follows Cruise’s…

Like most automakers, Ford aims to introduce subscription services as the industry moves to a new digital, electric era. Ford’s tech leader, Doug Field, hired from Apple, says the transition is already underway, with the next steps expected to roll out with the automaker’s upcoming next-gen EVs. Field began his career as a development engineer at Ford from 1987 to 1993, sparking an impressive career spanning companies like Apple, Tesla, and Segway. In September 2021, Ford rehired Field to…

Image via Lucasfilm Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny should have been a hit. This is one of the most revered franchises in cinematic history, comes from a director with a string of critically acclaimed projects, and boasts bona fide screen legend Harrison Ford cracking the whip one last time. But sadly, it seems that opening weekend audiences simply weren’t interested. Dial of Destiny debuted to a disappointing $60 million domestic opening weekend and also cratered overseas at a paltry $130 million. When…

via Walt Disney Pictures Disney is having quite the year.  From fighting political battles with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to conquering the box office with some of the biggest movies of the year, the House of Mouse can’t be stopped. Sadly, only Avatar: The Way of Water has become a global phenomenon. Other films like the live-action The Little Mermaid and MCU movies like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 have fallen short of expectations. Now, it’s up to Indiana Jones and the Dial of Density, which premiered…

Image via Lucasfilm Harrison Ford himself might only want to allude to its shortcomings in the vaguest way possible, but everyone else on the planet knows that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is comfortably the weakest of the Indiana Jones movies. On a recent rewatch ahead of the incoming fifth installment, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, this Indy and Marvel fan was stunned to discover the much-maligned movie slips in a jaw-dropping bit of an unintended foreshadowing at Ford’s MCU…

Ford Motor (F) is reportedly gearing up for a new round of layoffs, just as the automaker secured a major loan from the U.S. government to produce batteries — two developments that should accelerate the Club holding's efforts to become a top player in the electric-vehicle market. As CEO Jim Farley continues to rein in costs, Ford is preparing to enact a new round of layoffs in the coming weeks, according to a Wall Street Journal report Thursday. The cuts are expected to target salaried workers at Ford's gas-engine,…

About a year ago, Ford revived the Supervan for the electric era with an absolutely audacious 2,000-hp quad-motor bullet van built to deliver all world records, no packages. It described the vaguely E-Transit Custom-related Supervan 4 as a rolling laboratory, and its mad scientists have been hard at work doing some tinkering. They've actually scaled output back to a "modest" 1,400 hp but have also broadened out the rear spoiler to near aircraft levels of span, lightened the entire vehicle and splashed it with the new…

Ford made a huge announcement Monday, revealing the Cologne Electric Vehicle Center is officially open for business. The new EV center is Ford’s first carbon-neutral plant and will be the home for its next-gen EVs, including the electric Explorer and an upcoming sports crossover EV. Founded in 1930, Ford’s assembly plant in Cologne, Germany, has built nearly 18 million vehicles. Monday’s announcement marks a new era for Ford’s European operations. As its first carbon-neutral assembly…

via Sony Most rising actors would do anything to secure the most coveted roles in the business and gain A-list superstardom, but it’s something Josh Hartnett was famously never interested in. He could have been one of the biggest stars in the industry if he wanted, but he decided to reject the chance to play both Batman and Superman for fear of being forever typecast. He did dip his toes into the waters of broad studio-backed genre films, though, even if his collaboration with Harrison Ford on Hollywood…

One example of the many autonomous driving technologies out there is the Ford Level 3 driver-assist feature. This is the American automobile company’s take on autonomous driving currently making a wave in the industry. Well, despite the efforts Ford and its team of engineers have put into this feature, it still has its flaws. These flaws hold it back from being put to use in very busy areas with lots of vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians. An example of some areas where this driver-assist feature from Ford might flop is…
