Tom Cruise Will ‘Never Stop' Making Movies: I'm Going to Be Acting ‘Into My 100s'
Tom Cruise is looking to do the impossible: Act for almost a century. The former teen star turned Hollywood icon (turned mega action producer turned stuntman) told The Hollywood Reporter that he has no plans to retire…ever.
'I will never stop. I will never stop doing action, I will never stop doing drama, comedy films — I'm excited,' Cruise said when asked about his former statement that like Harrison Ford, he will keep acting into his 80s. Cruise also had one amendment: 'I actually said I'm going to make movies into my 80s; actually, I'm going to make them into my 100s.'

The 'Mission: Impossible – the Final Reckoning' star added that filmmaking is constantly a learning process. 'There's been so many levels of reward with the filmmakers that I've collaborated with, the crews, the people, the cultures that we've worked in. Everything that I've learned and continue to learn about storytelling, about life, about leadership, about character and every aspect of filmmaking,' Cruise said. 'It's been exceptional, it really is exceptional. I feel very fortunate to be able to make the films that I make and I love it. I love just making movies.'
Just don't expect Cruise to be hanging off a biplane again in his 100s: The actor confirmed that 'Mission: Impossible – the Final Reckoning' is in fact his final appearance as franchise lead Ethan Hunt. 'It's the final! It's not called 'final' for nothing,' he said.
He is, however, reprising his role for a third 'Top Gun' and also plans on collaborating with Michael B. Jordan on a feature. 'I'm a huge fan of Michael B. Jordan, that film 'Sinners' is amazing,' Cruise told ET. 'We're going to make a movie together.'
Cruise continued that he is looking to foster the next generation of actors, as evidenced by his mentorship of Glen Powell and more rising talents. 'I think there are so many other talented actors out there that I want to see crush it,' he said. Cruise further pointed to other blockbusters set for this summer, including 'Ballerina' starring Ana de Armas and 'F1' with Brad Pitt.

Michael B. Jordan shares Denzel Washington's advice on social exposure media, press
Michael B. Jordan shares Denzel Washington's advice on social exposure media, press Show Caption Hide Caption 'Sinners': A vampire wants to crash Michael B. Jordan's party Cornbread (Omar Miller) isn't acting like his old self when trying to re-enter the party in Ryan Coogler's period horror movie "Sinners." Michael B. Jordan recalled receiving valuable advice from Denzel Washington that he applied to his blossoming career in a new exclusive interview. Speaking to New York Magazine, Jordan discussed his reserved approach to social media and press, citing the guidance he received from the veteran actor. 'Why would they pay to see you on a weekend if they see you all week for free?' the "Sinners" star told the outlet. Despite being a household name in Hollywood, Jordan has kept his private life under wraps, although his previous relationship with socialite Lori Harvey made headlines. In the interview, he mentioned that not sharing many details about his life 'creates a demand.' More: Mississippi city where 'Sinners' is set to hold screening despite having no movie theater 'He thought I was a movie star' Jordan's New York Magazine feature comes on the heels of the success of Ryan Coogler's horror film "Sinners," which became a box office darling and a pop culture staple. Jordan plays the notorious Smokestack twins, who moved back to Clarksdale, Mississippi, in the 1930s to open a juke joint. The actor reflected on his long-term collaboration with Coogler and how the esteemed director poured into him during a time of uncertainty in his career. 'He told me he thought I was a movie star,' Jordan said of his first interaction with Coogler after reading the script for 2013's "Fruitvale Station." 'He thought I was a great actor, and he wanted to show the rest of the world that, and he wanted to make the movie with me," he continued. The duo went on to work on other acclaimed projects together, including "Black Panther," "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," and "Creed." When will 'Sinners' be available to stream? When will it be released on 4k Blu-ray/DVD? "Sinners" will be available to buy and rent on digital platforms such as Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home on June 3, Warner Bros. said in a news release. Pre-orders are available on platforms such as Prime Video and Fandango at Home for $24.99. The movie will be available on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD at online and physical retailers on July 8. Warner Bros. said the digital, 4K UHD and Blu-ray version of the movie will offer special features such as the making of the movie, the creation of the characters and their costumes and deleted scenes, among others. The 138-minute film was released in theaters on April 18. Contributing: Fernando Cervantes Jr., USA TODAY Taylor Ardrey is a news reporter for USA TODAY. You can reach her at tardrey@

‘Sinners' is now available to stream at home — Here's how to watch
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. After a dominant box office run and 45 days exclusively in theaters, Ryan Coogler's genre-bending vampiric epic 'Sinners' is now available to stream at home. Released on Good Friday, 'Sinners' stars Michael B. Jordan and… Michael B. Jordan. The actor plays a dual role as the SmokeStack twins, criminals who return to their Clarksdale, Mississippi hometown after years working for crime families in Chicago. Smoke and Stack come home intending to start over by opening a juke joint for the local Black community, only to find that a great evil lurking just outside threatens to ruin everything. Advertisement 'Sinners' features supporting performances from Miles Caton (in his first-ever film role), Hailee Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku, Delroy Lindo, and Jack O'Connell. 'Sinners' streaming date: 'Sinners' is streaming on-demand on platforms like Prime Video now! 'Sinners' was released on digital June 3. How to watch 'Sinners' on Prime Video: 'Sinners' is available for digital purchase on Prime Video. The film costs $24.99 to buy or $19.99 to rent — still significantly less than it may cost for a family to go out to the movies to watch it. Advertisement While you won't have to be a paid Amazon Prime member to buy or rent 'Sinners,' you will need at least a free Amazon account; that way, you can return to watch 'Sinners' whenever you want to. Digital purchases will live in your account indefinitely to be watched as many times as you'd like, while you'll have 30 days to start a rental and 48 hours to finish it once you've pressed play. Does 'Sinners' have IMAX aspect ratios on digital? Yes! One of the biggest talking points ahead of the 'Sinners' theatrical release was the formatting and aspect ratios, and luckily, viewers at home will get a taste of the IMAX formatting. Shot on film, 'Sinners' is one of the first films to combine two proprietary film formats into one: scenes shot on Ultra Panavision 70 and IMAX 15-perf film were both used in the final IMAX cut of the movie. The aspect ratio expands from Ultra Panavision 70 2.76:1 to IMAX 1.90:1 or 1.43:1 during select scenes, creating a more immersive environment in key moments. Advertisement The digital version shifts between 2.76:1 and 1.43:1 for the immersive IMAX scenes. If this all sounds confusing, it's because it kind of is. Luckily, Coogler filmed an explainer for Kodak with all of the film and formatting available for 'Sinners'. Just know this: if you buy the movie on digital (or preorder the 4K Blu-ray), you'll be seeing it, at least partly, as the creators intended. 'Sinners' cast guide: In addition to Jordan starring in dual roles as identical twin brothers Elijah 'Smoke' Moore and Elias 'Stack' Moore, here's who you'll see in 'Sinners.' Hailee Steinfeld as Mary Miles Caton as Sammie 'Preacher Boy' Moore Jack O'Connell as Remmick Wunmi Mosaku as Annie Jayme Lawson as Pearline Omar Miller as Cornbread Delroy Lindo as Delta Slim Peter Dreimanis as Bert Lola Kirke as Joan Li Jun Li as Grace Chow Yao as Bo Chow Saul Williams as Jedidiah Moore 'Sinners' physical release date: While you can stream 'Sinners' at home now, some may prefer a physical alternative to owning movies digitally, where there's always the chance that rights may be revoked and you'll lose that digital access. Physical discs are tangible proof that, as long as you have a player to play it, you'll be able to watch the movie you own. Advertisement The 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD copies of 'Sinners' will be released on July 8, but you can preorder now on Amazon to receive your copy on release day.

Patti LuPone Apologizes for Interview Comments About Kecia Lewis, Audra McDonald: 'I Am Devastated'
Patti LuPone is apologizing for the recent comments she made in a New Yorker profile about Audra McDonald and Kecia Lewis that's had the theater world buzzing. 'For as long as I have worked in the theatre, I have spoken my mind and never apologized. That is changing today. I am deeply sorry for the words I used during The New Yorker interview, particularly about Kecia Lewis, which were demeaning and disrespectful,' she wrote on Instagram on Saturday. 'I regret my flippant and emotional responses during this interview, which were inappropriate, and I am devastated that my behavior has offended others and has run counter to what we hold dear in this community. I hope to have the chance to speak to Audra and Kecia personally to offer my sincere apologies.' More from The Hollywood Reporter Audra McDonald Says She Didn't Know About "Rift" Between Her and Patti LuPone 'Gypsy' Theater Review: Audra McDonald Climbs the Mountain of One of the All-Time Greatest Musicals and Plants a Triumphant Flag Kecia Lewis Says Patti LuPone Calling 'Hell's Kitchen' "Too Loud" Is "Racially Microaggresive," Requests Apology 'I wholeheartedly agree with everything that was written in the open letter shared yesterday. From middle school drama clubs to professional stages, theatre has always been about lifting each other up and welcoming those who feel they don't belong anywhere else,' LuPone continued. 'I made a mistake, I take full responsibility for it, and I am committed to making this right. Our entire theatre community deserves better.' The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to Lewis and McDonald's reps for comment. On Friday, Playbill reported that there was a letter that over 500 Broadway performers signed reprimanding LuPone's behavior. The letter, in part, read that her comments were a 'persistent failure to hold people accountable for violent, disrespectful, or harmful behavior — especially when they are powerful or well-known.' Tony winners Wendell Pierce, James Monroe Iglehart and Maleah Joi Moon signed it, as well as Courtney Love. Last fall, while LuPone was starring in The Roommate, she complained about the musical next door, Hell's Kitchen, which Lewis was in, being 'too loud.' After that, Lewis took to Instagram to say that LuPone was 'bullying,' 'racially microaggressive' and 'rooted in privilege.' In the New Yorker interview, LuPone responded by saying, 'Here's the problem. She calls herself a veteran? Let's find out how many Broadway shows Kecia Lewis has done, because she doesn't know what the fuck she's talking about,' she said. 'Don't call yourself a vet, bitch.' LuPone also said McDonald was 'not a friend' and that they had a rift years ago. However, on Thursday, McDonald appeared on CBS Mornings to promote Gypsy and her 11th Tony nomination and said she was surprised by LuPone's comments. 'If there's a rift between us, I don't know what it is. That's something you'd have to ask Patti about,' she said. 'I haven't seen her in about 11 years because I've been busy with life and stuff.'
