Due to the box office failure for “Knight and Day”, that gave Paramount Pictures no choice but to cut Tom Cruise’s upfront pay for the upcoming, “Mission Impossible 4”. That means Tom will not be getting paid anything before the movie starts filming. He will have to wait to get paid after the movie is done and released, he’ll get his share of the investment after.

I’m pretty sure Tom is not worried about not getting paid before the movie. Tom is loaded enough to not care about money. “MI: 4” will be a smash hit no matter what happens. So Tom will get plenty of cash when the movie is released. Tom always said he’s into acting ’cause he loves the movies, he’s always said he wasn’t in it for the money.

I have no interest in seeing “Knight and Day” but “MI: 4” is kind of exciting. I hope they make “MI: 4” a great one. Not much of a Mission Impossible fan, but if they make “MI: 4” an action packed ride, I might go to the theaters for this one.

I thought Tom’s best performance in his career was in the Bryan Singer Nazi film, “Valkyrie”, Tom’s acting was phenomenal in that film. He needs to stop doing silly films like “Knight and Day” and go back to do serious stuff like “Valkyrie”. I like Tom in action films too.
