so let me get this right > Tom said about Valkyrie that he grew up wanting to kill Hitler > Tom said about Days of Thunder that he grew up wanting to drive fast cars > Tom says about this movie that he grew up wanting to make this movie

Whats next Tom > Superman - oh ! scientology ( homo novis )

I think it would be a great fit having those two in those roles, but they have big shoes to fill; the original movie was a gem! Tom usually makes sure everything in his movies are top notch so I am sure it will be great as well.

Perhaps John's wife Kelly Preston could play his love interest....she still looks great, even well in to her 40's!

A big question in all this is: Should Merrill Lynch and Bank of America be engaged in Hollywood movie making after receiving taxpayer money in the form of the TARP?

If Merrill Lynch's half-billion dollar contract with MGM/UA/Tom Cruise cannot be broken--like the AIG bonuses--then shouldn't movie executive compensation be set to no more than $250,000 per year? And, if such movie executives make more than that, they should be taxed at the 90% tax rate that the House of Representatives passed concerning people getting the AIG bonuses.

This movie financing with taxpayer money should be a matter of taxpayer and congressional outrage! It is putting government money at too much risk; especially after the 'Valkyrie' and 'Lions to Lambs' failures.

Let your congressman and senators know how you feel.
