Cruise & Stiller Confirm Grossman Movie Is On
By WENNWednesday, June 9, 2010
Movie executives for Paramount Studio and MTV Films have confirmed they are developing a big screen project based around TOM CRUISE’s outrageous character LES GROSSMAN.
Cruise stole the show at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday night (06Jun10) when he revived his hilarious Tropic Thunder character for skits and a dance routine with Jennifer Lopez - and now movie bosses are acting quickly to capitalise on the cult status of the foul-mouthed, rap-loving producer.
Cruise and Tropic Thunder co-star Ben Stiller will team up to produce the movie.
A statement from Stiller reads, “Les Grossman’s life story is an inspiring tale of the human class struggle to achieve greatness against all odds. He has assured me he plans to ‘Fking kill the st out of this movie and make Citizen fking Kane look like a piece of cp home movie by the time we are done.’
“I am honored to be working with him.”
Paramount Film Group president Adam Goodman adds, “Everything I learned in this business, I’ve learned from Les. I started out as his assistant, and, from the first day he threw his desk at me when I got his lunch order wrong, I have loved him like a father.”
