I liked THE LAST SAMURAI a lot, too. Edward Zwick is a thoroughly under-rated director, although his films usually do okay. Another example where Tom, like Russel Crowe, makes you forget that he can sometimes act like a putz in the real world, he can be a mighty fine actor. THE LAST SAMURAI is a decided visual treat, too.

Ken Watanabe was great as always. But they made a serious blunder at the end, completely negating the cool set-up prior to it (I won't say what it was, because i don't want to give it away, if there is one person left who didn't see this but would like to). And Harry, at least Tom let them put the other actors' name in tiny letters on the posters! On Tue, Apr 16, 2013 at 7:45 PM, Harry Caul <[email protected]> wrote: My reply was in jest... I know how contractual billing works and how common it is or I wouldn't have mentioned it. And while I never said this practice was unique to Tom Cruise, in all seriousness, I can't recall another example of one actor getting top billing on every poster in a character set. Maybe a director, but an actor? I mean the whole reason you are putting out a character set is to highlight the breadth -- and ideally quality -- of your cast, no?

Yes, I suppose you can call it an ego thing but it would apply to most every "name" starout there -- and especially to their agents and managers, who would have been the ones to ask for it as part of their client's deal. There are plenty of reasons to like or not like Tom Cruise but this seems just an excuse to knock him. Craig.

I mean, his ego couldn't be SO big that he contractually demanded it.Right? Sigh.
