Cruise item 1: Though the untimely death of Tony Scott and subsequent cancellation of Top Gun 2 had reportedly left Paramount unsure of what to do with their Top Gun IMAX 3D conversion, they've now decided the thing to do is toss it into theaters February 8th for a six-day limited run. At last, the sights will surround you as the Kenny Loggins jams always have.

Cruise item 2: Jack Reacher is going to coat Tom Cruise in a milk chocolate shell. Here are some more photos from that.

Tom Cruise Is Someone's Crazy Ex-Boyfriend in New 'Jack Reacher' Spot

The official trailer for Jack Reacher explicitly laid out many, many traits about our titular hero, among them: Jack Reacher is a ghost! Jack Reacher wants the truth! Jack Reacher is not a hero! Jack Reacher has no limits! Jack Reacher has nothing to lose! And so on.

This new TV spot covers one key Reacher facet that trailer missed: Jack Reacher will go into an auto-parts store and demand to know if "Sandy" works there, then threaten violence if the employees won't tell him, because beyond being "a ghost," Jack Reacher is also an overly-aggressive ex-boyfriend archetype. He has nothing to lose! Not since he lost Sandy.

New 'Jack Reacher' Trailer Condenses Many Traits into Tom Cruise's Little Jacket

jack-reacher-trailer-full.jpg

When cast as Jack Reacher, Tom Cruise took a lot of criticism for not having the necessary size to portray the novels' hulking character, but if this trailer is any indication, he may have since built up the lacking mass through sheer density of unorthodox, badass hero clichés. Among the numerous traits explicitly laid out in the following video: Jack Reacher is a ghost! Jack Reacher is not found unless he wants to be found! Jack Reacher wants the truth! Jack Reacher is not a hero! Jack Reacher is gonna finish this! Jack Reacher has no limits! Jack Reacher has nothing to lose (bonus: if you're smart, that scares you)! Jack Reacher doesn't care about the law! Jack Reacher doesn't care about proof! Jack Reacher only cares about what's right! And Jack Reacher is going to use all those characteristics to defeat the evil Werner Herzog, who's immediately set up for villainy thanks to a creepy milky eye and ominous Werner Herzog voice. See it all go down, in a leather jacket, below.

With the success of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, Tom Cruise proved that he's still a star, and still apparently capable of selling a film by simply staring from the poster as hard as he can. So, now he's going to try selling Jack Reacher that way too. And if that doesn't work, fine, he'll go back to selling things with manic enthusiasm and feigned normalcy then.

'Jack Reacher' Trailer: Tom Cruise Basically the Most Awesome Guy with the Best Car

jack-reacher-t-cruise.jpg

Perfectly timed to make it look like Tom Cruise used his divorce and 50th birthday as a desperate, sadly-typical excuse to buy that muscle car he's always had his eye on, here's the trailer for Jack Reacher. In the film, Cruise plays a hard-ass ex-army cop, and in this trailer, some boastful monologues, excessive torso shots (this guy has scars and muscles, because he's so tough!), a five-on-Cruise fight, a woman in lingerie (presumably one of Cruise's many sexy encounters), and some conspicuously low-angles will attempt to convince you the soon-to-be divorcé is not woefully miscast in the role. The trailer, like all who have a cool old car they fixed up, also makes a real point of showing off its ride. Just kind of chuckle and nod as they keep roaring the engine and it will be over before you know it.
