Good point but I think he’s just worried about the production getting shut down.

Maybe he was just having a bad day. Maybe he comes in tomorrow and apologizes to everyone and lets them know his beloved turtle died today.

That would be plenty enough reason to me.

I have enough respect for TC to understand there must have been a good reason for the rant. We prob are not hearing all of the story.

the scene where Maggie Q steps out of that Lambo will forever be etched in my brain. she was stunning. outrageously good looking.

Not a horrid meltdown but a meltdown. At least he was consistent with the same message delivered X number of times.

Surely others were in earshot and he was making a point for all to hear but guessing some other bug was up his butt.

He should STFU as he is just another employee.

Not exactly. As a producer, he is putting up his own money to make the movie. He also paid big money to charter 2 cruise ships for the crew to stay on. If he is paying the bills, he has a right to *****.

[Bill Douglas]

Oh, I stand corrected. Sorry.

I just thought he was some short guy with a few, minor, personality defects.

[Bill Douglas]

Update: He's had a second melt down and five crew members have quit this time.

^^^ I'd bet the 5 people that just quit have already been replaced.

I never saw any of them originally....and just started watching the first one last week. I just finished the third movie last night. They are pretty good. I'm not reading any of this thread until I've watched all the movies.

I wonder how they're managing scenes where actors are less than six feet apart?

My thoughts exactly. I'm sure the rant was about wearing masks. But how do you get around the distance? And where was filming happening and what rules are in effect there and are they really enforced?

My wife just chimed in: he's king is his world and likely believes he can treat people any way he wants. And he's watched Miscavige do it too.

As always the wife is right!

To answer my own questions... Its best to read the article before making a response.

So this is all about distance??? I'm really not sure how you can shoot a movie and not be standing close to others. I do know that England has established Tiers for ranking regions by how much COVID is present. Those 3 Tiers each have varying levels of restrictions. I believe they are filming in a Tier 3, highest restriction, city. If that is the case, they are lucky to be shooting at all.

In Tier 3:

- you must not meet socially indoors or in most outdoor places with anybody you do not live with, or who is not in your support bubble, this includes in any private garden or at most outdoor venues

- you must not socialise in a group of more than 6 in some other outdoor public spaces, including parks, beaches, countryside accessible to the public, a public garden, grounds of a heritage site or castle, or a sports facility – this is called the ‘rule of 6’

- hospitality settings, such as bars (including shisha venues), pubs, cafes and restaurants are closed – they are permitted to continue sales by takeaway, click-and-collect, drive-through or delivery services.

- accommodation such as hotels, B&Bs, campsites, and guest houses must close. There are several exemptions, such as for those who use these venues as their main residence, and those requiring the venues where it is reasonably necessary for work or education and training

- indoor entertainment and tourist venues must close. This includes:

-indoor play centres and areas, including trampolining parks and soft play

- casinos
- bingo halls
- bowling alleys
- skating rinks
- amusement arcades and adult gaming centres
- laser quests and escape rooms
- cinemas, theatres and concert halls
- snooker halls

- indoor attractions at mostly outdoor entertainment venues must also close (indoor shops, through-ways and public toilets at such attractions can remain open). This includes indoor attractions within:

- zoos, safari parks, and wildlife reserves
- aquariums, visitor attractions at farms, and other animal attractions
- model villages
- museums, galleries and sculpture parks
- botanical gardens, biomes or greenhouses
- theme parks, circuses, fairgrounds and funfairs
- visitor attractions at film studios, heritage sites such as castles and stately homes
- landmarks including observation decks and viewing platforms

- leisure and sports facilities may continue to stay open, but group exercise classes (including fitness and dance) should not go ahead.

- there should be no public attendance at spectator sport or indoor performances and large business events should not be taking place. Elite sport events may continue to take place without spectators

- large outdoor events (performances and shows) should not take place, with the exception of drive-in events

- places of worship remain open, but you must not attend with or socialise with anyone outside of your household or support bubble while you are there, unless a legal exemption applies

- weddings and funerals can go ahead with restrictions on the number of attendees – 15 people can attend wedding ceremonies, wedding receptions are not allowed, 30 people can attend funeral ceremonies, 15 people can attend linked commemorative events

- organised outdoor sport, and physical activity and exercise classes can continue, however higher-risk contact activity should not take place

- organised indoor sport, physical activity and exercise classes cannot take place indoors. There are exceptions for indoor disability sport, sport for educational purposes and supervised sport and physical activity for under-18s

- you can continue to travel to venues or amenities which are open, but should aim to reduce the number of journeys you make where possible

- avoid travelling outside of your area, including for overnight stays other than where necessary, such as for work, education, youth services, to receive medical treatment, or because of caring responsibilities. You can travel through other areas as part of a longer journey

- for international travel see the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office travel advice for your destination and the travel corridors list

Well, nobody said you did not have that part right.

Tom Cruise is acting like an as*hole. Therefore, he is an as*hole. Normal people don't act like that.

There's a bunch of different ways to get your point across, that's one I've never used and never will.

F him, and his umpteenth mediocre movie.
