Paramount Pictures Vs. Tom Cruise
Share this Story
A few weeks back I wrote a story regarding Tom Cruise and Paramount and how Cruise was going to get a pay cut at the studio. Well now Paramount has decided to not to give him one big pay cut at all but instead drop Cruise entirely. Cruise as many know by now has lost a lot of brownie points after he decided to jump on couches on the Oprah show. He also began to annoy people when he started talking about his beliefs in Scientology. The last few Tom Cruise movies have been released by Paramount and haven’t been as big for Paramount as they hoped. Cruise had been working with Paramount for the past 14 years and has his own production company called Cruise/Wagner Productions with Paramount. But now Paramount doesn’t want anything to do with Cruise. Summer Redstone who is a top boss at Paramount is the one who made the decision to cut Tom lose. In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, Redstone says that he things that Cruise’s antics have had a negative effect on his movies and his popularity. Redstone has stated, "As much as we like him personally, we thought it was wrong to renew his deal... His recent conduct has not been acceptable to Paramount." Honestly I can’t blame Paramount since most of the press regarding Cruise lately is negative. He has for sure annoyed people to no end and has lost several fans in the process.
