Just between us ... according to my sources, Mr. Snyder's real interest here is in having Mr. Cruise play Mr. Snyder in the movie.

Hey, what's the point of this access thing if we can't share the occasional nugget?

So you know how Tom Cruise -- he's an actor, been in a few movies, kind of squirrely, if you ask us -- got fired by his studio recently and said he would find an independent financier for his future projects.

Well, he has his financier ... and you're never gonna believe who it is.

It's Redskins owner Daniel Snyder! No, seriously. Snyder, shown here reenacting Dakota Fanning's role in War Of The Worlds with Joe Gibbs as Cruise, has said he will give Cruise "less than $3 million annually to finance staff and office expenses."

We're not even sure where to start here. Though if Southeast Jerome converts to Scientology, we're gonna be pissed.

If this was true, that would be hilarious!

[AllAboutSkins08]

this is sweet. although i think cruise is a total nutjob now, i'd love to see snyder have some say in any movie.

the Joe Gibbs Movie.......the Darrell Green Movie....the John Riggins Movie
or simply The Redskins Movie

i'm ready to pre-order a ticket right now!

hahahahaha! :laugh:

Hilario..... :laugh:

[jimster]

one thing you can't deny - Tom Cruise movies make money.

[sacase]

Watch you, you are going to have to be a Scientologist to go to Redskins games....

[E33Green]

As my buddy Dave said, "I will see every single Tom Cruise movie that comes out now if it means we can sign more free agents."

[Hooper]

Can he play offensive line?

Or maybe he could be a good scat-back for us. I mean, he looked like a solid player in All the Right Moves. And all that running he does in the Mission Impossible flicks no doubt kept in playing shape.

He couldn't be any worse than Lumsden.

This will not look good for the Skins.....

[jbooma]

Danny just loves his name in the news :laugh:

At least it's not Mel :)

Are you serious?! Just when I was starting to warm up to Dan Snyder he does this...

Agreed. I am really scratching my head trying to figure out WTF he was thinking when he made this deal. What a stupid move and I am sure it will be an embarrassing piece of news for our Redskins.

Wonder how Gibbs feels about Snyder funding scientology's golden boy. They are reported to teach that christianity was a memory planted by evil aliens. Wonderful.

Oh, geesh! I just heard about it, but didn't know the owner was snyder. One more thing now to make fun of the skins about...oh man...:doh:

I heard George Michael and Sonny talking about this on News4. Apparently they will be taking over for movie production of ALL the movies made by the former Paramount Studios. Impressive! HTTR!

NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Actor Tom Cruise, who was dropped by Paramount Pictures last week for his off-screen behavior, has signed a two-year development deal with an investment partnership headed by Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder, the companies said on Monday.

First and Goal, headed by the owner of the National Football League team, will provide development and overhead financing for the actor's firm, Cruise/Wagner Productions for two years, with an option to renew after that, the companies said.

[jwebst1]

well, it's official now... we are a 3-ring circus.....

A little, but not enough. This is as embarassing as hiring Pepper Rodgers as a consultant.

Tom Cruise's production company, which broke ties with Paramount Pictures last week in an unusually public dispute, has signed a two-year financing deal with an investment partnership headed by Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder.

The deal between Cruise/Wagner Productions and First & Goal LLC covers overhead and development, which will allow Cruise and producing partner Paula Wagner to run their company and make deals to produce films, some conceivably starring Cruise.

Financial terms were not disclosed for the pact, which has an option to renew for a longer term.

Cruise/Wagner still must find someone to finance production of those films and a company to distribute them.

Previously, Paramount had the first right to finance and distribute Cruise/Wagner films. In exchange, Paramount paid the producers as much as $10 million per year for salaries, expenses and discretionary spending. Paramount had offered a much lower amount to renew the deal, closer to $2 million annually, before talks broke off.

First & Goal was set up specifically to invest in Cruise/Wagner. Snyder also heads an investment partnership that controls amusement park operator Six Flags Inc., among other companies. Former ESPN executive Mark Shapiro, who heads Six Flags, will oversee the investment in Cruise/Wagner, the companies said Monday.

"This gives us the opportunity to work with all the studios and broadens our base," Wagner said Monday.

Long-simmering tensions between Cruise/Wagner and Paramount Pictures erupted last week with a public spanking of Cruise by Sumner Redstone, chairman of Paramount parent Viacom Inc.

Redstone broke ties with Cruise through an interview in the Wall Street Journal, saying the actor's public behavior, including jumping up and down on Oprah Winfrey's couch, and his aggressive defense of Scientology, alienated moviegoers and cost Paramount money at the box office.

Redstone claimed Cruise's antics cost Paramount between $100 million and $150 million in ticket sales for the actor's latest film, "Mission: Impossible III."

Wagner slammed Redstone last week, calling his comments "surprising" and unbusinesslike. She said last week it was their decision not to renew their 14-year partnership with Paramount, choosing instead to follow a long-standing desire to make smaller, character-driven films on their own.

On Monday, Shapiro brushed off any discussion of Cruise's behavior or Redstone's comments, preferring to focus on Cruise's proven box-office appeal.

"We're entrepreneurs and we like exploring new opportunities that present an excellent chance for success and innovation," Shapiro said.

Shapiro and Wagner emphasized that Cruise's last two films for Paramount, "War of the Worlds," and "Mission: Impossible III," grossed about $1 billion worldwide combined.

"We believe that Cruise and Wagner are a terrific investment," Shapiro said. "The track record speaks for itself."

The deal was brokered by talent agency CAA, which represents Cruise. Discussions with First & Goal began earlier this month, the companies said.

Last week, Wagner said her company had secured financing from two hedge funds to produce films. She declined to comment on those arrangements Monday.

Monday's deal does continues to allow Cruise to star in films produced or distributed by any studio, the same terms he had under his deal with Paramount.

"Snyder, meantime, is no slouch in the giving department. He has ponied up at least $40,000 in the last decade to Republican causes. He’s a big supporter and close personal friend of Sen. George Allen of Virginia, as well."

Well, isn't that comforting to know. He's such close friends with an obnoxious racist.

I don't know which is worse: that he is giving support and money to a nasty lunatic like Tom Cruise or that he is a "close personal friend" of a nasty racist like Allen. Is it really all about the money and celebrity? Does Danny's mom know who he's hanging with? My poor Skins. They deserve better.

Come on now, you didn't know this? With all the NRA ads as part of the scrolling media around the stadium I thought that spoke volumes as to where Snyder's political views were.
