TomKat!!!

Over exposure of TomKat relationship may harm film

In case you haven’t heard, Tom Cruise is involved with Katie Holmes. Also in case you haven’t heard, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have sure-fire blockbuster hits coming out this summer. This public relationship has spawned a media frenzy that has people skeptical that the pairing is sincere and that their public display of affection is just an attention-getter. Producers of Cruise’s War of the Worlds are particularly concerned that this kind of publicity is damaging the film.

Martin Levy, an executive at DreamWorks, the studio behind the film, fears the actor's romantic outbursts are stealing headlines away from the Steven Spielberg movie. He says, "You can have so much attention on a particular issue that maybe the movie doesn't get as much attention as it might. It's the topic of conversation for other reasons."

It’s a shame because quite frankly, a Tom Cruise/Steven Spielberg film doesn’t need any publicity stunt to get people to watch their movie. Heck, throw their names on a box of rat poison and I’ll eat it. I also believe Batman Begins didn’t need a push. This much anticipated film stars Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neesan, Gary Oldman, Ken Watanabe, Michael Caine, Cillian Murphy, Rudger Hauer and then tack Katie Holmes’ name at the end of that list. If this relationship were a stunt, it would only be in Holmes’ favour. I mean her claim to fame is playing a c*ck-tease on crack…or is it the Creek…something like that. She must’ve sold her soul to the Devil and made a deal because now it’s rumoured that she will play Wonder Woman in the upcoming film directed by Joss Whedon (of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fame).

Oh Joey, at what time will you abscond?
