Sumner Redstone may still be running around town badmouthing Tom Cruise, but Tom has moved on with his life and he's not looking back. He and longtime producing partner Paula Wagner are now to run United Artists, the film studio originally formed by Charlie Chaplin. Here's more

Wagner will serve as chief executive of the company, which is owned by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. Cruise will appear in UA films, but also be allowed to star in films from rival studios, MGM announced Thursday.
The development is a major comeback for Cruise and Wagner. They were unceremoniously dumped in August from their 14-year producing deal at Paramount Studios after Sumner Redstone, chairman of Paramount parent company Viacom Inc., blamed Cruise's public antics for hurting the box office performance of "Mission:Impossible III."
Cruise/Wagner Productions said then that it had secured financing from two unidentified hedge funds to back future projects.
MGM said Thursday that Cruise and Wagner have taken an ownership interest in UA, but did not specify financial terms.
The pair will have full control of the production slate, which is expected to be four films a year, MGM said.
I can't believe Tom managed to do this deal two weeks before his wedding. This is a huge deal in the image turnaround for Mr. Cruise. There really is no stopping this man.

Yea, but he's still kinda goofy. No matter how much money he brings in, people aren't going to forget that.
1Ugh. Go away!
2I love how much I dont care
why is he in such a rush to get a deal...its nit like he doesnt have millions of dollars
3
Jess....he cares because he is a greedy egomaniac.
4I mean he COULD quit the biz and be a stay at home dad.....but he would never do that since he only cares about himself.
5I'm so tired of tiny tom's face blechhhhh

I just saw Mission Impossible III (the latest one on DVD now). It was actually good. But, for the first half of the movie, I kept thinking ewwww. But, it was a good flick.
I also watched Rest Stop last night...it scared the cr*p out of me!! I actually thought it was worse than the The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I could barely sleep last night.
7I think Tom is crazy. But, at least he takes a stand for what he believes in and just does not go with the flow of other hollywood socialites. Gotta give him credit where credit is due...
8meh.
9No stopping him? There is no stopping me from refusing to go and see his movies.. he can keep riding that crazy train without this passenger on board!
10he's already ruined his image and made himself look completely foolish...no one takes him seriously, i know i certainly don't. yughhhhhh
11He looks good in the picture but does anyone else notice how lately he's starting to look like a menopausal woman?
12Haha, TC is a whiny little b*tch.. and he's psychotic too
13here is the token "good for tom" comment. i like him, can't help it.
14He's a good actor, I'll give him that much.
15How is this an image turnaround? He's still a bizarre little egomaniac.
16I wish Kaballah and Scientology would merge like film companies. Then they could buy an isolated island for their followers and we could ship Madonna and Tiny Tom there.
17Hahahah Ginger. I saw Madonna on an interview last night and when she was asked what exactly Kaballah was (and why it was so criticized) her answer was "Kaballah is asking questions, which we all should do'
WTF does that mean!?
18It means she has no clue.
19I saw that interview. Kaballah is based on Jewish mysticm, so why the heck was she going on about how she believes in Jesus?
I've read where Jewish scholars and Rabbis have said that the teachings of Kaballah are more like a new-age philosophy and that followers don't learn the basics that people following the Jewish faith use.
20Hahaha
21Yep heres another token i love tom i mean "Good on ya tom' comment.
tom rocks haha i still think hes as hot as the sun
Image turnaround ha ha. He must think he's back on top now.
22Ugh, can not STAND this little ego maniac! I will NEVER again watch one of his movies.
23It's gonna take a lot more than this to make people froget about his general craziness.
24can't stand him!!
25It's not really an image turnaround if he bought himself an ownership into UA.
And Kaballah is actully Jewish mysticism, which is supposed to only be studied by rabbis and Hebrew scholars. What Madonna and her crew are into is Kaballah Lite and yeah, her version is simply a new age thing. It's not real Kaballah.
26Tom obviously sold his soul to the Devil.....er, make that Xenu.
27Thanks Padraigin. I meant to come back and clarify, 'cause I meant no disrespect to the real Jewish practice & didn't want to offend anyone. It seems some rabbis are not happy with the pop culture version.
Can you claim to be a jewish mystic and believe in Jesus? I'm no religious scholar, but I thought those were contradictory.
28can somone explain why so much hatred towards tom? cos he jumped on a couch? i mean c'mon the man is in love! it makes us to crazy things!!!
29He is a fantastic actor and i refuse to diss him because he has made some classic films and i will always respect him for that
Ah, let me count the ways....
30I LOVE TOM CRUISE ! I BECAME A FAN OF HIS, JUST TWO MONTHS AGO, BY WATCHING HIS COUCH JUMPING INCIDENT ! I REALLY ENJOYED IT AND LOVED HIS MANHANDLING OF OPRAH. IT LOOKED AS IF HE WAS JUST TRYING TO PLAY WITH HER !
HAS ANYONE SEEN HIS INCIDENT ON THE DAVID LETTERMAN SHOW, WHERE HE COULD JUST NOT STOP LAUGHING ? IT'S WORTH SEEING.
IT JUST SHOWS THAT ALTHOUGH HE MAY BE THE MASSIVEST MOVIE STAR IN THE WORLD, BUT UNDERNEATH EVERYTHING, HE'S JUST A HUMAN BEING LIKE ANYONE OF US ! HE'S SO KIND AND GENEROUS TOO !
I HAVE PURCHASED 05 OF HIS DVD'S ALREADY AND SEARCHING FOR MUCH MORE OF TOM CRUISE !
I WAS VERY SAD WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT HE HAD BEEN DUMPED BY PARAMOUNT AND WAS WONDERING IF MISSION IMPOSSIBLE III WOULD BE HIS LAST MOVIE... I'M REALLY RELIEVED TO HEAR THAT HE'LL BE BACK ON TOP ! HE REALLY LANDED ON HIS FEET !!!
A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE TO TOM AND A MILLION CHEERS !
HIP ! HIP ! HOORAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY !!!!!!
31I would not call it a comeback....he has not made a movie yet....I think no matter what studio he is with the fact remains that people are put off by him.
32I for one have no intention of paying good money to see him act.
33I won't even pay bad money to see his movies...or even watch them when they're on free TV.
34I figured that's what you meant, Ginger - the "new" Kaballah is crap. Real Kaballah is supposedly fascinating. And someone deep into Kaballah would probably look to Jesus as possibly a prophet, but not believe in him as the son of God.
As for Tom, I don't think he's a "fantastic" actor. The only thing I really liked him in was "Magnolia". He fails to slip into a role. Instead, when I see him on screen, I think: "Oh, yeah, it's Tom Cruise playing Jerry McGuire", not "Oh, it's Jerry McGuire!" And in this case, it's not like UA offered him tons of money to come work with them, he had to buy a controlling interest in the studio.
35he actually looks cute here... Must be the sunglasses.
36Oh well, now I'll have to make sure I avoid UA films, as well as the ones he's starring in himself. He's such a pain.
