Tom Cruise as Longmire!?!?

[marvin02]

No entry at IMDB for a movie to be released this year. Looks like a fake.

Nearly everyone who hear Randy Newman's song "Short People" took it the wrong way. He meant it a satirical look at discrimination and prejudice of all types. The song was meant to poke fun at how stupid many people's reasons were for how they felt against others. Hence his inclusion of the verses:

Short people are just the same as you and I
A fool such as I
All men are brothers until the day they die
It's a wonderful world

They got little cars that go, "beep, beep, beep"

They got little cars that go, "beep, beep, beep"

My little 2007 Hyundai Accent goes "beep, beep, beep" too. After 18.5 years of ownership the little guy gave it all it had. Leaky gas tank and corrosion in the same are as the leak that holds up the tank. My mechanic said that it would cost around $1000 and "probably wouldn't survive the surgery". It's getting traded in tomorrow for a 2025 "Intense Blue" Elantra. Still gonna miss my "little bean"

Yep, we have fallen for facebook AI fakery. This "movie" does not exist.

Reminds me of the Ford Bronco forum. Half the members there fell for a facebook AI rendering of a supposed 2026 redesign of the Bronco. It was totally bogus. Ford has now released some photos of a 2026 special edition. There is no redesign. Minor changes only.

We would all do well to remember the old saying, Don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see.

Of course, the hard part is figuring out which half.

I saw a pic on youtube of a 2026 Goldwing with a roof on it! I had to click on it. Not even close.

I just think Cruise would be the wrong choice to play Longmire. Like Alan Ladd playing 'Big Jake'.

 

['79 Magnum GT]

Sounds like the message went over your head.

Pun intended.

Must have been the shine on top of my head.

I'm waiting for Tom Cruise in the Wilt Chamberlin story.

While Longmire may be a hoax IMDb shows a remake of The Gauntlet as in preproduction with Scarlett Johansson in the Sondra Locke role.

The Gauntlet | Action

The Gauntlet: Directed by Christopher McQuarrie. With Tom Cruise, Scarlett Johansson. Detective Shockley must transport a witness to testify against a mobster. Betrayed by corrupt cops, they hijack a bus and reinforce it, attempting to reach the court while being pursued by armed officers.

www.imdb.com

Saw the Eastwood original with my academy class the night before graduation.

Cruise is a good actor and I've liked many of his movies.
However, he sucked as Reacher and I have no doubt he'll suck as Longmire. I just can't see him as a country Sheriff.

 

[03hemi]

Cruise has been well-trained in firearms including live-fire exercises. For instance see "Collateral" and also look at the training extras which he duplicated in the film.

As far as being Longmire, Cruise probably won't try to emulate the TV actor nor even bother with some aspects of the books. He'll be a Longmire of his own creation and that's often what actors do. Books often are merely suggestions and outlines for movies.

Collateral was a great movie, but that was a tongue-n-check crack about the idiocity of hollywierd's gun awareness.

 

[Kinman]

I've been tall all my life, there is nothing worse than a short cop with a stick and a chip on his shoulder, trust me on this one. I have never been impressed with Cruise as an actor, he is short but that has nothing to do with except where he is portraying someone nearly a foot taller than he is.

 

[UncleEd]

OK, enough with the height debate but if we must, anyone know how tall
Audie Murphy was?

 

[Hair Trigger]

Thought he learned his lesson as Reacher, guess not. Supposed to be out later this year. A lot of the other originals are supposed to be in it.

I can't even picture him as Reacher after watching the Prime series with Alan Ritchson as Reacher. I haven't seen much of Longmire but I can't picture Cruise as any of the characters.

Alan Ladd (Shane) was 5' 6".

5 foot 5.5 inches. Just 2.5 inches taller than me.

Joe Pesci is 5'3". His persona makes him 6'8".
