Jack Black Wants To Make Another Comedy with Tom Cruise
Jack Black recently talked about Tom Cruise’s comedy chops and he wants to make another comedy movie with him. The two worked on Tropic Thunder together, which is a movie that saw Cruise take on the role of the wildly insane movie executive Les Grossman.
Cruise completely blew people away with that performance because it was unlike anything has has ever done before. During an interview with Total Film Jack Black talked about what Cruise brought to that role, saying:
"Tom Cruise was unrecognisable as Les Grossman. He was really channelling some angst, I think, about some studio executives that shall remain nameless," Black says.
"I just didn’t know he had that gear in him. I guess he had done some comedy but not like this, with such broad strokes. And not such a character that he totally disappeared into."
After that movie, I wanted to see Cruise jump into making some more comedies, but he never really did. It would just be fun to see him do something completely bonkers again. If he does, Jack Black wants to team up with him! The actor said:
"It does make you wonder when he is going to bust out and do some more comedy. If he does, he should let me know. I’ll jump on board that choo-choo train."
Tom Cruise and Jack Black starring in a crazy comedy together!? That would be so much fun! Cruise has got so many projects lined up, though, that who knows if he’ll ever get around to making another comedy.
What would be your pitch for a Tom Cruise and Jack Black comedy?
