Tom Cruise has been considered for the role of the villain in the newest installment of the Shrek franchise. The Movie Blog tells us:Tonight I got an email from one of our regular sources at DreamWorks, whispering in my ear to let you know that Tom Cruise is being considered to voice one of the villains in Shrek Goes Fourth. The sequel is due out in 2010 and this time it’s being directed by Mike Mitchell, who is rumored to be something of a Tom Cruise fan.Since Cruise’s cameo in Tropic Thunder, everyone has wanted the man to sign on for more comedy. Voicing a character for Shrek 4 isn’t what I had in mind however, because Shrek sucks, and has been played out at 3. Although the franchise may still continue to rake in money, the last film was pure garbage and I cannot see things improving from here.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, all Scientology stuff aside, I really like Tom Cruise. His cameo in Tropic Thunder was beyond brilliant, and I really think the man exceeds, not as an action star, but as a comedian. But I have to agree with the general consensus that this movie will be bad. The original Shrek and it's sequel Shrek 2 were both great, but Shrek the Third was absolute trash. Boo, hiss. Cruise should look for more roles that suit his persona in Tropic Thunder. When he went on that huge, swear filled rant that lasted for a full minute, I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard in a movie theater. He should aim for more adult comedys (notice I didn't say raunchy. Just because he would be good comedies aimed at the older crowd doesn't mean he should be in the Superbad style of comedies) and stop trying to be in all this kid oriented drek.
