BAFTA/LA will honor Cruise with Kubrick

Tom Cruise will be honored by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts/Los Angeles when it awards him its highest honor, the Stanley Kubrick Britannia Award for Excellence in Film, at its 14th annual Britannia Awards set for Nov. 10 at the Beverly Hilton. "Tom Cruise is the very embodiment of the consummate acting professional," BAFTA/LA chairman Gary Dartnall said in announcing the award. "For more than 20 years, he has been that rarest of them all: an unparalleled movie star who has attained both global fame and the most prestigious recognition of his acting talents." The Britannia has been awarded to Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli, Peter Ustinov, Michael Caine, Martin Scorsese, Anthony Hopkins, Bob and Harvey Weinstein, Dustin Hoffman, Stanley Kubrick, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Hugh Grant. Last year, the award went to Tom Hanks. BAFTA/LA is a professional, independent, nonprofit organization founded in 1987 that operates as an affiliate of BAFTA, headquartered in London, and is the largest British professional industry organization outside of the U.K.

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

You're not going to do anything but dish out ten bucks to see him in a summer blockbuster/remake of a classic. And, probably your mother and father and friends and family will all do the same. Tom wins. haha.

Quote from: velveteena summer blockbuster/remake of a classic.
seriously, the original wasn't that good. the only things classic about it are its age, the original wells book, and the welles radio play. so paying $10 to see a massive improvement on the original is actually a good thing for all.

anyway, back to hilarity please..
