The Flash (2022)

Don't know how to imbed twitter vids, but this is Composer, Benjamin Wallfisch briefly channeling Danny Elfman for The Flash.

EDIT: It is believed that this is the piece of music that will accompany the "Yeah, I'm Batman" scene.

I'd say right on the money

I love how sharp it is, how funereal and heroic it sounds at the same time.

Yeah, that's promising. Batman has had a lot of good music over the years but nothing has come close to what Elfman created.

Tom Cruise has seen The Flash and apparently he loves it.

In late February, according to several sources, Cruise had a meeting with Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, during which the mogul mentioned how great the movie was. Cruise, curiosity piqued, then asked to see it. Zaslav acquiesced to the request, and a copy of the movie was sent over to Cruise.

But, as an insider says, this was no casual messengering. A Warners employee brought the movie to Cruise's home in Beverly Hills and stayed until the actor finished watching The Flash. It is unclear on what format Cruise watched it, whether it was digital or film. When Cruise finished, the movie was given back to the messenger, who returned it to the studio.

Cruise was so taken by what he saw that soon after, he reached out to Muschietti. It was a call out of the blue for the director. Cruise is said to have raved about the movie, saying something to the effect that Flash is "everything you want in a movie" and "this is the kind of movie we need now," according to insiders.

If anyone knows how to deliver a satisfying blockbuster these days, it's Cruise. His endorsement is heartening.

That whole story about Tom Cruise being shown The Flash movie and loving it sounds awfully fishy. THR claimed he was shown the movie in his Beverley Hills home, but these articles say he moved out of there in 2016 and he now lives in Florida.

Someone is lying.

Someone is lying.

Its quite possible he had multiple homes, not too uncommon. However, hopefully someone will ask him on tape.

Tom Cruise has a net worth of $600 million. It's reasonable to assume that he has the financial ability to own multiple homes. Personally, I find it very hard to believe that Cruise wouldn't have at least one residence in or near Los Angeles.

I'm a Cruiser and his endorsement means a lot in terms of selling a film the studio seems to be very proud about, but nonetheless with apprehension about Ezra Miller. The Flash without the hook of Keaton would not have me interested. But the hook is there and it sets it apart. There are too many superhero movies out there being made, and a lot of them are full of pathetic, unnatural dialogue and cheesy acting. They need to pull way back with the number of these they're making. You've seen one you've seen them all, and forget them a day later. Case in point the new Shazam film and its poor opening numbers. I'm all about justifying your placement on that big screen and generating hype for your product. The Flash could be that.

I miss when we got a few ever few years and they were a big deal. I agree, we have way too many

Okay, but if we're simply relying on insiders for info, one claimed Cruise wanted out of Beverly Hills and Los Angeles in general at the time of that sale, presumably because he wanted to live near the Church of Scientology in Florida, as it was already implied in the second link in my last post.

While it may be possible that Cruise might've had a change of heart and bought another property in Beverly Hills that nobody knows about, the other thing that's not tracking is Cruise is currently filming the latest Mission: Impossible, which had been filming for a year. Cruise was even reportedly staying in an Italian hotel on February 25th to shoot more scenes.

Yet THR alleges he watched The Flash in his supposed BH home in late February. I would've believed THR if they reported Cruise somehow took a break before the 25th and went back to the US to see the movie before going to Italy to resume filming for MI, but it didn't. Nor did that article even mention anything about MI. I'm not even convinced that he took a break in late February because he reportedly delayed filming earlier in the month to attend Prince Charles's coronation.

Nonetheless, if there's new info or Cruise himself confirms this screening took place, I'll happily stand corrected. But these details aren't lining, and pardon my cynicism, this feels like a distraction due to Shazam's opening weekend not looking great. Maybe Affleck's comments about not wanting anything to do with Gunn's DCU is another reason for this dubious story.

After all, WBD was sued by the state of Ohio for allegedly misleading investors during the whole merger. I wouldn't necessarily believe a single word they're saying unless it's coming from the actors themselves.
