Such a vibrant box office performance for “Boo!” rebuffs beliefs that the Madea schtick was played out or no longer entertaining, as some believed the 2013 holiday offering “A Madea Christmas” proved. Critics, however, as usual, felt the film left something to be desired, with only 31% of the Rotten Tomatoes reviews being positive. This latest iteration is no different, receiving an A grade from moviegoers according to CinemaScore. Perry and his film’s featuring the Madea character have been consistent crowd pleasers since the franchise’s inception in the early 1990s, when it began as stage plays.

Jack reacher rotten tomatoes movie#
All of the dominoes fall once that happens because if we like that draft and Tom likes that draft, we’re gonna be shooting in October.The $20-million picture took its inspiration and title from a joke in Chris Rock’s critically acclaimed comedy “Top Five.” In the 2014 flick, Rock’s character is faced with the prospect of his more serious movie losing at the box office to a Halloween-themed film featuring the volatile matriarch. Our hope, Tom’s hope, Paramount’s hope is that we are shooting mid-October the sequel to Jack Reacher, but we haven’t read Ed and Marshall’s draft yet. Again, going back to where we started this interview, it all comes down to the script.

Right now Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz are doing a rewrite of the original draft that was written by Richard Wenk. It is very much a world we live in today where it’s drone technology and fifth generation fighters are really what the United States Navy is calling the last man-made fighter that we’re actually going to produce so it’s really exploring the end of an era of dogfighting and fighter pilots and what that culture is today are all fun things that we’re gonna get to dive into in this movie.Īs far as Jack Reacher 2 is concerned, which Ed Zwick ( The Last Samurai) is attached to direct, Goldberg says filming could begin as early as this Fall. When you look at the world of dogfighting, what’s interesting about it is that it’s not a world that exists to the same degree when the original movie came out. As everyone knows with Tom, he is 100% going to want to be in those airplanes shooting it practically. Anyway, as well as confirming Tom Cruise will be back in the lead role of Maverick, Ellison also said that Top Gun 2 is going to be the kind of movie that needs to be experienced in the biggest format possible:Ībsolutely, I think this is a movie that should be in 3-D and in IMAX, and again something that you can shoot practically. Skydance, huh? Why am I suddenly not getting a good feeling about this? I really can’t put my finger on why that might be. But like all things, it all comes down to the script, and Justin is writing as we speak. It is I don’t think what people are going to expect, and we are very, very hopeful that we get to make the movie very soon. There is an amazing role for Maverick in the movie and there is no ‘Top Gun’ without Maverick, and it is going to be Maverick playing Maverick.

Actually, at least four if you consider Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation and ’80s thriller Mena. Two movies that fit our niche starring Tom Cruise are on the horizon.
