• Dan Finnerty from The Dan Band was great in this role and there is no reason not to have him reprise his role.

  • Except for getting it funded & distributed… but yeah, totally, good point.

• Is Tom actually confirmed for At The Mountains of Madness? It would be pretty cool to see him in that movie since they kind of need a bankable actor if they want Universal to agree to the $100 + budget the film is going to cost.

  • Tom Cruise will completely take me out of the moment of belief watching what could be a great movie. Why oh why does it need Cruise to make it be greenlighted…they have Del Toro and Cameron…..shhheeeeeeeeesh Cruise will make it lame.

• Hey Mike, thanks for the info. I’m really looking forward to this film as I’m a fan of the show. But, is there anything else you can add? Any other actors close to signing on? This just seems like a repeat of information we already know. I appreciate the effort, though.

• Sounds awesome!

  Also Mountain of Madness with Cruise would also be cool.
  Hope he does both movies!

• Here’s a perfectly good reason to cast a bigger name:

  BOX OFFICE SUCCESS!

• This role should have been given to Peter Diewick who did it in Toronto for 9 months

• With a huge A-List cast, and the songs that are featured, I see this easily being as big world wide as Mama Mia. But, hopefully better.

• Love Tom Cruise. Despite all the negative press he has gotten, he’s still one of the best leading guys around. I would like him to see in more roles.

• Nothing says “rock n roll legend” like Tom Cruise.

• Tom would be brilliant for this role! Adam Shankman did a great job with Travolta in Hairspray..this shoud be even better.

• Tom Cruise is too old for Stacee Jaxx in my opinion. But I have seen movie makeup work its magic. And he doesn’t hold a candle to Jeremy Woodard or James Carpinello, who have played the character in the stage version. Sorry Tom, you do nothing for me.

  • How is he too old? If anything, both actors you mentioned are too young. Stacee Jaxx is not a hot young sex symbol. He’s someone who ONCE WAS. Now he’s up in age, and washed up.
