According to today’s “Sunday Express” , “The Few” (proposed movie about Billy Fiske) has been scrapped as a result of Tom Cruise being dropped by Paramount Pictures. I wonder if another studio might take over the project (as happened with “Battle of Britain” which was originally a Rank Production before they dropped it and United Artists took over)?

Sadly, rumour has it they didn’t can him – he got a better deal elsewhere.

Reminds me of a line out of the Film ‘Top Secret’
‘and they taught me all about the Greats, Karl Marks, Lenin, Freddie Laker , L. Ron Hubbard,’

It’s a shame, in that we probably won’t get a film that would otherwise have been a dead cert for release and a decent budget. On the upside, loony-Cruise cops it – fantastic.
Off-topic, but anyone wanting to read more on his and Travolto’s nutso cult should have a look at this site:
