Tom Cruise is ‘very serious' about making a Tropic Thunder spin-off, Christopher McQuarrie says
Tom Cruise is having 'very serious conversations' with Christopher McQuarrie about making a Les Grossman 'Tropic Thunder' spin-off movie. The 62-year-old actor portrayed the foul-mouthed producer in Ben Stiller's 2008 satirical action film, and McQuarrie - who has reportedly been attached to the project since 2022 - has said Cruise is determined to continue Les Grossman's story in his own movie. During an appearance on the 'Happy Sad Confused' podcast, the 'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning' director said: 'The conversations we've had about Les Grossman are so f****** funny. 'We're talking about it, we're having very serious conversations about it, and how best to do it. 'It ultimately comes down to what that character is.' McQuarrie, 56, added he and Cruise used to bounce ideas off each other for the possible flick during the production of 'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning'. He said: 'We don't even think about the structure, we play with scenes. Just to be sitting at a breakfast table, not talking about the movie we're making for a minute, is such decompression. 'And just riffing with Tom playing Les Grossman at the table, it was one of the real joys of making this movie. It was all the stuff we were doing, planning the future while slugging out the present.' Talk about a Les Grossman spin-off has been going on for years, with Stiller - who directed and starred in 'Tropic Thunder' as actor Tugg Speedman - previously revealing he had 'discussed' the idea with Cruise. During an interview with Extra, Stiller, 59, said: 'There have been some interchanges about it over the years, yeah. 'Look, Tom Cruise - one of my favorite human beings, one of our great movie stars of all time — it would be fun, but there is nothing in the works. But we have discussed it in the past.' 'Tropic Thunder' - which also stars Robert Downey Jr., Jack Black and Steve Coogan - follows a group of pampered actors filming a war movie in the jungle who are thrust into real danger when they're mistaken for actual soldiers. As chaos unfolds, they must become the heroes they only pretended to be. Reflecting on the movie, Stiller admitted 'Tropic Thunder' likely wouldn't make it past the 'script phase' now due to its controversial elements. He said: 'Somebody should be making movies that are that out-there. If it is clear where the joke is, and it is clear what your point of view is, you have to take those chances … I think comedy is going to get there.' The 'Zoolander' star added Downey Jr.'s Kirk Lazarus - a white actor who undergoes 'pigmentation alteration' surgery to temporarily darken his skin for his portrayal of the black character - was a particular aspect of 'Tropic Thunder' that would likely sink any chances of making the movie today. He told Collider: 'Yeah, the idea of Robert playing that character who's playing an African American character, I mean, incredibly dicey. Even at the time, of course, it was dicey too. 'The only reason we attempted it was I felt like the joke was very clear in terms of who that joke was on — actors trying to do anything to win awards. 'But now, in this environment, I don't even know if I would have ventured to do it, to tell you the truth. I'm being honest.'

Ben Stiller concerned his Knicks anxiety might be a Mitchell Robinson jinx
First, the good news: Ben Stiller may know the cause of Mitchell Robinson's foul shooting woes. The bad news? The 'Zoolander' star thinks he may be to blame. Advertisement 'Fat Joe and I see each other at games,' Stiller said on 'Don, Hahn & Rosenberg' on Wednesday before the shocking 138-135 overtime loss to the Pacers in Game 1. 'He was telling me that there are games that I stress him out too much. That he sees me across the court and is like 'Oh, Ben, you're stressing me out. I see your face and I see you worrying.' I started to feel like, Wait a minute, I'm affecting Fat Joe's experience of this game? We're all in this together. I had no idea.' Leave it to fellow Celebrity Row staple Tracy Morgan to put it into context. 'I started to get self-conscious that maybe I'm affecting the players because I'm not putting out a more confident front or something,' Stiller said. 'Tracy Morgan was saying 'The players sense when we're stressed out, and you can't let them know that we're stressed out.'' Advertisement 'Now we got to the bottom of why Mitchell Robinson missed all those free throws!' co-host Peter Rosenberg said. 'He kept looking over you! Ben Stiller attends Game One of the Eastern Conference Finals between the New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers. Getty Images 'Exactly!' Stiller said. 'Which is ironic for Tracy to be saying that, given his history…' Advertisement Morgan famously vomited courtside and was taken out of the Garden via wheelchair due to what he later said was food poisoning.

Whatever issues Stiller may have, they didn't keep him away from Game 1 against the Pacers on Monday and sitting through the Knicks' epic collapse. Teams have employed a 'Hack-a-Mitch' strategy so far in the playoffs, capitalizing on the center's postseason struggles — he's made just 18 of his 48 free-throw attempts for a pitiful 37.5% success rate through 13 games. Advertisement He missed both attempts Wednesday night. Mitchell Robinson shooting a free throw against the Celtics. Charles Wenzelberg/New York Post Stiller did give props to 'true blue, real-deal' Knicks fan Timothee Chalamet, whom he traveled to Detroit with for first-round games against the Pistons. 'He lives and breathes it,' Stiller said of his fellow actor. Chalament was among those with a front-row seat Wesdnesday night, joined by the likes of Stiller, Livvy Dunne, Martha Stewart, Jon Hamm, Susie Essman, Larry David, and, of course, Morgan.
