Tom Cruise Inked for 'Mission: Impossible 5'
Paramount
Last month, Tom Cruise was able to watch the box office feed, give himself a little shoulder punch and rest assured he's totally still got it as his journey into "Oblivion" owned its opening weekend and renewed his tenure as Tinsel Town's "Top Gun."
He's been the driver on a buncha hit one-shot action flicks like this over the years, but he's somehow stayed a one-franchise man with "Mission: Impossible." And since the marrow's not completely sucked outta that bone just yet, it's time for round five.

Armie Hammer to Tower Over Tom Cruise for 'Man from U.N.C.L.E.'

Tom Cruise is considered a shorty by Hollywood's definition — he's 5-foot-7, which is pretty near to average for us normies — while Armie Hammer is ridiculously tall by any standard outside the NBA (an intimidating six-foot-five). That's almost a whole foot height differential, son, and now the two are set to co-lead a movie side by side.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, Hammer has just fee-fi-fo-fummed his way into the second lead in Guy Ritchie's cinematic reboot of the Cold War era TV show "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." Get More »

'Oblivion' Saves Box Office From Oblivion
Universal
Tom Cruise proved once again that you just can't keep him down, as the ageless action star powered "Oblivion" to an easy win at the box office this weekend to the tune of $38.2 million according to Film.com.
Of course, some of the credit for "Oblivion's" strong performance goes to the fact that there weren't any other new releases this weekend. So having no competition certainly helped. And it also helped returning films like "42," which finished in second place with $18 million, and "The Croods," which hung onto the third spot with $9.5 million.
Still, a win is a win. And this is a win Cruise will be taking straight to the bank.
For a full rundown of this weekend's box office top 10, head to Film.com.

Infographic: Tom Cruise Vs. Everything
Tom Cruise does a lost more in his movies than just flash his million-dollar smile and have nervous breakdowns in locker rooms with Cuba Gooding Jr., you know. Over the course of his nearly 40 years in movies, Cruise has taken on a wide variety of formidable enemies, whether they be made of flesh and blood or something else. Like any true movie hero, the man just can't get away from conflict.

Tom Cruise is Not. That. Short.
OK, so no one's saying that 5-foot-7 is tall or anything, but, for as long as we can remember, Cruise's height has been a hot topic of conversation. Which is particularly amusing because we don't recall anyone mentioning anything about Robert Downey Jr. or Javier Bardem's stature. Yet, they too stand 5-foot-7. Get More »
