Tom Cruise Rep Responds to Bronson Pinchot’s Claims of “Homophobic Comments”

Wendy — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:21:37 +0000

Ooh… Bronson Pinchot is getting his name out there again – by dissing a lot of his past co-stars in an interview with The A.V. Club.

First up? Tom Cruise, who Bronson Pinchot claims he and Risky Business co-stars “thought Tom [Cruise] was the biggest bore on the face of the Earth. He was tense and made constant, constant unrelated homophobic comments … He always talked about himself like he was a mega-superstar; that was weird, too.”

Tom Cruise’s publicist, Cheryl Maisel, responded to Pinchot’s claims, saying, “Obviously this is so far removed from who Tom Cruise is as a person, this must have been said in jest.”

Bronson Pinchot also commented on working with Denzel Washington (a “dreadful experience”) and Eddie Murphy, who by the third Beverly Hills Cop was in a “funk” and he “was just really sad.”

Pinchot’s work with Denzel Washington on Courage Under Fire had Bronson spending his hard earned cash on therapy: “[Washington] was really abusive to me and everybody on that movie, and his official explanation was that his character didn’t like me, but it was a dreadful experience. I spent my salary on time with my shrink just for helping me get through it.”

Pinchot claims “Bette Midler was such a bitch” on First Wives Club, but had nothing but love for Tom Hanks, calling him “a wonderful and genuine and lovely and down-to-earth person … so it’s not really true that big stars need to be driven and repulsive, because he’s anything but.”

Tom Cruise, John Travolta to Star in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Remake?

From the “this seems like a bad idea file” – Tom Cruise and John Travolta are reportedly signing on to star in a Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid remake. Seriously? Trying to replace Robert Redford and Paul Newman?

Some remakes should never happen – and this is one of them. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is a classic, not to be messed with. And certainly not by Cruise and Travolta.

Would you see the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid remake?

Early Valkyrie Reviews Blast Tom Cruise Performance

Early reviews for Tom Cruise’s new film, Valkryie, are in – and they’re not kind.

Associated Press movie critic Christy Lemire blasts Tom Cruise’s performance in her review of Valkyrie, saying:

“…Cruise undermines the potential of “Valkyrie” at every turn. He’s outclassed and outmatched by every member of the strong supporting cast, any of whom would have been more believable as Stauffenberg: Kenneth Branagh, Tom Wilkinson, Terence Stamp and Bill Nighy as fellow German officers, even Eddie Izzard, who’s a unique and unexpected choice.”

Valkyrie Movie Extras Suing Tom Cruise for $11 Million

Wendy — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:19:02 +0000

It sounds like the filiming of “Valkyrie” was dangerous business – 12 movie extras from the film are suing Tom Cruise and his production company for $11 million, after suffering broken bones, cuts and bruises while making the film in Berlin last year.

The accident occurred when the side panel of a period German army truck opened while rounding a corner last August.

The extras maintain that the truck used in that scene of Valkyrie did not have the side panel properly secured.

Ariane Bluttner, lawyer for the extras, says, “A new letter has been sent to Tom Cruise, (business partner) Paula Wagner and United Artists, in which we set out the facts of the case again and put a figure on the legal demands of our clients … of $11 million.”
