Tom Cruise drops out of 'Man from U.N.C.L.E.'

15 hours ago | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »

Even tallest-building-in-the-world-climber action star Tom Cruise has his limits. The guy cannot be in two places at once. Cruise was set to star in the Warner Bros. big screen adaptation of 1960s spy series Man from U.N.C.L.E., but his role as another secret agent in another franchise based on a mid-century TV show is getting in the way. He has dropped out of Man from U.N.C.L.E. due to Mission: Impossible 5 scheduling, EW has confirmed. Deadline first reported the news.

This isn’t the first time the long-in-development Man from U.N. »

Tom Cruise Exits 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.' for 'Mission Impossible 5'

16 hours ago | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

Well, this is something of a surprise: According to Deadline, Tom Cruise has exited Warner Bros.' high-profile big-screen version of ‘60s spy show “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,” which is co-starring Armie Hammer and being directed by Guy Ritchie. The project was previously being overseen by Steven Soderbergh, potentially as his final movie before retirement, with George Clooney set to star in the part that Cruise just vacated. Clooney's back injury, sustained during the filming of “Syriana,” kept him from doing such a physical role, and after that Soderbergh had trouble finding a suitable replacement that the studio was happy with, so he quietly left the project. It picked up steam again when Ritchie and his “Sherlock Holmes” producing partner Lionel Wigram were handed the film. Cruise would have played Napoleon Solo, a character originated in the series by Robert Vaughn. Hammer will still play Illya Kuryakin, a Russian agent. »

Iron Man 3 writer hired for Mission: Impossible 5

News Simon Brew 15 May 2013 - 07:05

Drew Pearce gets the job of penning Mission: Impossible 5, off the back of his success with Iron Man 3....

British screenwriter Drew Pearce, unsurprisingly, is finding that his stock is firmly on the rise. Having created the TV show No Heroics, you'll find Pearce's pawprints on Iron Man 3 this summer, with Pacific Rim still to come (although we don't think he's getting a credit on that one). He's also mooted to pen Sherlock Holmes 3 for Warner Bros.

However, he's landed a further high profile job now. The Hollywood Reporter has broken the news that Paramount Pictures has now hired Pearce to write a screenplay for the upcoming Mission: Impossible 5. The film, which has Tom Cruise confirmed to star and produce, and with Christopher McQuarrie still rumoured to direct, is a priority for Paramount. The plan is therefore to try and »

New Release Dates for 300 Sequel and All You Need Is Kill

11 May 2013 6:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

Warner Bros. has moved a couple of movies around in their release schedule. They moved 300: Rise of an Empire from this August to March 7th, 2014. Dan Fellman, President of Domestic Distribution explained the move saying,

Moving 300: Rise of an Empire to March 7 continues in the tradition of the first 300, and kicks off the Spring movie-going season in epic style. The film is on track to become all that audiences have come to expect from the franchise.

One of the things not mentioned in the news was that the film was one of the movies affected by the recent financial problems of the visual effects house Rhythm & Hues. I'm sure that had something to do with it as well. There will need to be more time to get the effects heavy film ready for release. 

The studio also ended up shifting the release of Tom Cruise's sci-fi action »

All You Need is Kill Pushed Back

10 May 2013 12:49 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Word has come that Doug Liman's Tom Cruise flick All You Need Is Kill has hit a speedbump and will open a bit later than expected. Look for it in theatres on June 6, 2014 instead of the previously announced March 7th, 2014.

Cruise stars along with Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton, Jonas Armstrong, Tony Way, Kick Gurry, Franz Drameh, Dragomir Mrsic, Charlotte Riley and Marianne Jean-Baptiste. The screenplay is written by Dante Harper, Christopher McQuarrie and Joby Harold.

All You Need is Kill, based on Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s novel, centers on a soldier (Cruise) in a near-future war against aliens who relives his last day over and over after being killed. Through the training and battles he experiences in these time loops, he becomes a better soldier.

Warner Bros. delays release dates for '300: Rise of an Empire' and Tom Cruise pic 'All You Need Is Kill'

10 May 2013 12:38 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »

Audiences expecting to return to the swords-and-sandals-and-cgi ancient Greece of 300 this summer will have to wait until next March. Warner Bros. has pushed the release date of sequel/side-quel 300: Rise of an Empire from Aug. 2, 2013 to March 7, 2014.

That move also bumps another WB action project, Tom Cruise-starrer All You Need Is Kill, from March 7, 2014 to the prominent summer U.S. release date of June 6, 2014. The time loop war movie is taking a page from the book of films like Iron Man 3 and Cruise’s own Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol with the plan to open in select international »

'300: Rise Of An Empire' Bumped Back To 2014

10 May 2013 9:32 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

So much for "300: Rise of an Empire" getting its time in the sun. Warner Bros. has delayed the movie once again, pushing it back all the way to March 7, 2014.

"Moving '300: Rise of an Empire' to March 7 continues in the tradition of the first '300,' and kicks off the Spring movie-going season in epic style. The film is on track to become all that audiences have come to expect from the franchise," Warner Bros. Pictures' President of Domestic Distribution says in a statement.

Meanwhile Tom Cruise's "All You Need Is Kill" has been given a June 6, 2014 summer spot. It seems as though Warner Bros. is trying to bolster its spring/summer blockbuster line-up now, but this move doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in "Rise of an Empire." The film had only just begun to be promoted and was starting to gain momentum when this change was put into effect. »

Great News For Tom Cruise

10 May 2013 7:14 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Funny thing about Tom Cruise: despite a strong push from Robert Downey Jr., Cruise is still among the biggest movie stars in the world. "Oblivion" and "Jack Reacher," Cruise's last two releases, both topped $200 million worldwide and his last "Mission: Impossible" film in 2011 hit $694 million around the globe. (A moment of silence here for the flop that was "Rock of Ages.")

Cruise's success won't slow down too much in the near future either: On Thursday, Warner Bros. moved Cruise's next film, an action thriller called "All You Need Is Kill," from its March 7, 2014 release date to June 6, 2014. That puts "All You Need Is Kill" in the thick of the summer movie season, a strong show of confidence for the Doug Liman film.

The reason Warner Bros. made the switch: "300: Rise of an Empire." The studio bumped the sequel to "300" from its Aug. 2, 2013 release date to March 7, 2014. That last-minute »

Warner Bros is pushing back the release of its 300 prequel, as well as the studio has also moved its 2014 Tom Cruise vehicle, All You Need Is Kill, from a March 2014 bow to the middle of summer blockbuster season.

Sullivan Stapleton, Rodrigo Santoro, Eva Green, and Lena Headey star in a Noam Murro-directed sequel set at the same time as the events of the original film.

"300" Sequel, "Kill" Delayed By Months

10 May 2013 5:44 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »

Warner Bros. Pictures has pushed back the release of the sequel "300: Rise of an Empire" from August 2nd this year to March 7th 2014.

That will see it hit the same weekend that the first film opened back in 2007. A day and date international release is also expected.

No specific reason is given for the delay, though the highly crowded August calendar is likely to have had an impact.

At the same time, the Tom Cruise-led "All You Need Is Kill" has been pushed from that March 7th slot to a mid-Summer release on June 6th 2014.

300: Rise Of An Empire Shifts To March 7, 2014

10 May 2013 5:24 AM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »

Warner Bros. Pictures has announced a change of release dates for two of its most-anticipated event films: “All You Need is Kill,” from Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures, and “300: Rise of an Empire,” from Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures. The announcement was made by Dan Fellman, President of Domestic Distribution, and Veronika Kwan Vandenberg, President of International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.

“All You Need is Kill” has been moved to the Summer release corridor, opening on June 6, 2014, with select international markets predating the domestic release, starting the weekend of May 30, 2014. The earlier international release date was specifically chosen to put the opening two weeks ahead of the start of the World Cup. The move reflects the studio’s already strong belief in the huge science fiction actioner, which marks the first collaboration between two proven hit-makers, Tom Cruise and director Doug Liman.

New Release Dates For ‘All You Need Is Kill’ & ’300: Rise Of An Empire’

10 May 2013 1:50 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

Warner Bros. are playing musical chairs with some of their upcoming 2014 releases, but all for good reason. All You Need Is Kill and 300: Rise Of An Empire will be debuting later than previously stated, although the former will have earlier international release dates. Dan Fellman, President of Domestic Distribution, and Veronika Kwan Vandenberg, President of International Distribution for Warner Bros. made the announcement yesterday.

All You Need Is Kill has been moved to a prime Summer release in the Us and will now hit screens on 6th June 2014. It will premiere on 30th May 2014 in many countries, so as not to collide with the World Cup. Apparently sporting events really do have a big effect on box office take. This is a huge leap from the film’s original 7th March 2014 release date, and shows a lot of confidence in Cruise, even though his recent Spring opening, Oblivion, was his biggest opening yet. »

300: Rise of an Empire Gets Pushed Back to March 2014

9 May 2013 10:14 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

Warner Bros changes the release dates of 300: Rise Of An Empire and Tom Cruise-starrer All You Need Is Kill...

Warner Bros has confirmed that it's pushing back the release of its 300 prequel, 300: Rise Of An Empire, from this summer to next year. The movie, which is being directed by Noam Murro, was originally due to open in August 2013. Warner Bros will now be releasing the film on March 7th 2014.

Comfortably one of the lowest profile films of a crowded summer, 300: Rise Of An Empire was always going to have something of an uphill struggle on its hands to make a mark. And perhaps Warner Bros has been influenced somewhat by Paramount's successful gamble in moving G.I. Joe: Retaliation back from a summer to March release date. The G.I. Joe sequel overcame scathing reviews to earn over $350m worldwide.

That said, Warner Bros »

New Release Dates for All You Need Is Kill, 300: Rise Of An Empire, The To-do List, and Popeye

9 May 2013 8:23 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

One step forward, three steps back with these new release dates: Warner Bros. will push All You Need Is Kill, led by Tom Cruise, from March 7 to June 6, 2014. 300: Rise of an Empire will take its place on March 7, 2014, seven months after the planned August 2, 2013 release date.  The original 300 was released on March 9, 2007. The Aubrey Plaza comedy The To-Do List is moving up from August 16 to July 26, 2013. Sony Animation is delaying Genndy Tartakovsky's animated Popeye movie to a date to be named later in 2015. Hit the jump for more on each project. [All dates via Box Office Mojo and Deadline.] Emily Blunt and Bill Paxton co-star in Doug Liman's adaptation of the manga All You Need Is Kill.  Here's the official synopsis: The story unfolds in a near future in which a hive-like alien race, called Mimics, have hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, shredding great cities to rubble and leaving millions of human casualties in their wake. »

'300' Sequel Delayed to March, 'All You Need Is Kill' Goes to June 2014

9 May 2013 7:47 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

Briefly: Updates on 2014 release dates for two movies from Warner Bros. First, since it was originally scheduled for release coming up this summer, 300: Rise of an Empire has been delayed until next year. The sequel to Zack Snyder's 300 has been pushed back from its initial August 2nd, 2013 release (up against 2 Guns) to March 7th, 2014. That actually follows the 300 release pattern, which came out March 9th, 2007 (remember that opening?). In addition, they've moved the Tom Cruise time loop sci-fi All You Need Is Kill, directed by Doug Liman, from March to June 6th, 2014 - a good spot in the early summer. While we have yet to publicly see any trailers for 300: Rise of an Empire, directed by Noam Murro and starring Sullivan Stapleton, we do have photos and one teaser poster. Early footage shown at CinemaCon got some negative buzz, but the March 2014 release spot may be better for it anyway. »
