50 cent made a little cheese, of course Em did.
as for Reese, acting wise, yeh, she's passed up Julia and Cameron,
but the Terminator still holds the reign supreme.
and Denzel still aint broke anywhere near the numbers of Eddie, Chris Tucker, Will Smith and he is a much better actor.
as for tom, let's get serious, he's the richest actor in the game period 2nd to Mel Gibson and still Mel's movie all together haven't grossed over all of Tom's films all together. I know 1 film did it for Mel, but i'm just sayin Tom could buy Reese 10x over easily.
part of tom's deal is that not only does he get a crazy salary just for acting but you gotta give him back end on the film too

I saw a thing on ET that said Tom Cruise made like $4 billion over the past few years. He gets a % of the sales.
I think Paul Walker gets $9 million a movie. He can't act, but girls think he's hot. Therefore, he gets paid to be awful.

yeah, i know cruise is still almost top dog....he got a boatload cuz he went smart and loaded up on his backend cuts instead of upfront salary for the Mission Impossible flicks and a couple others. the big dogs+their $$$ dudes have their games tight when they do that.......the ones still on the come up gotta take all can get upfront cuz they're in so many flops. plus, many don't even have enough juice to get backend deals anyways.
Gibson just killed it w/that Passion of Christ joint.....producer+director+leading role....holy *@#%$ that dude robbed people blind w/that one.
and Denzel is still probably my favorite actor besides the old white dudes--Anthony Hopkins+Deniro, but it looks like he's making the move into directing+producing like Clooney right??
even though actors and pro athletes are crazy overpaid, esp compared to people that really deserve it like teachers, i still give em props. It takes talent to even make it to be a benchwarming scrub or make even bad flicks. (even ones like Cake) lol

btw, everyone knows Eddie + Big Willy got that looooong paper, but Denzel can't see Chris Tucker??? They about even for high per flick---Chris got $20 MILL for Rush Hour, but Denzel hit that a few times.

K-Town, if I want to get into acting, something I really enjoy, should I just:
get an agent
move to L.A.
become a waiter
wait to see if luck will break me through

^^^^That is crazy. I wonder where Cruise ranks amongst the most wealthy in the world. I mean obviously there are oil tycoons and people of that nature that have billions, but from the looks of it Cruise has some serious loot

$70 MILL for one flick is pretty crazy cheese, but don't forget that some of the guys getting backend deals also get % of DVD sales + other post theater revenue. that's how they make the MAJOR cake.
it wasn't movies, but that's how Dave Chapelle got the crazy $50 MILL check from Comedy Central.......he made most of the dough from the backend deal he got on the DVD sales.
If you want to go even bigger, think of industry big wigs in the suits+behind the scenes guys, like George Lucas for Star Wars & Steven Spielberg. They make $$$ off fast food endorsements, toys, and pretty much EVERYTHING connected in name or that has a logo, pic, reference from one of their movies on/in it. it's just like pro sports. people say athletes are crazy paid, but they make chump change compared to the owners and dudes upstairs running things.
btw, Mel Gibson make like some insane # off The Passion of Christ....initially, I remember something like $140 million but I'm thinking it might be even more than that.......gotta realize hew as producer+director AND leading actor though, so he had all the angle$ covered.

CL, this is what your missing.
Chris executive produced all Rush Hours and Money Talks.
Money Talks cost like 15 million to make, it did close to 100 mill
he sees back end. he been in the game since yesterday.
Denzel been puttin in good work since Carbon Copy and St. Elsewhere.
I was with Denzel the day he picked up his first ferrari in San Diego
it was a 348 spyder. and I remember when he made his first big check ever.
it was for Virtuosity with Russell Crowe playing the bad guy. he got like $7,000,000 for it.
that was so many years later of him being a sex symbol/icon.
he would tell me how he though Gene Hackman had mad skills acting wise when he was filming the submarine flick. shoot I remember being at his restaurant and me and DRE and the rest of the aftermath staff were having our weekly board meeting and Denzel told me he just fired his manager of like 20 years (the guy whos been with him since St. Elsewhere) and he felt bad about it, but he had to make that guap.
I just saw Denzel a few weeks ago @ Lawry's. he was like god damn _ _ _ _ my old nickname and was like, yo this my son (I never met him cuz we only hung out at the club or at night) and he was like, you see my son got the starter kit for jewelry, you got the finished package. (obviously talkiin bout my ice)
he pulled off in a Suburban. but still lives in the most exclusive property in So Cal. "Beverly Park"

ben,
I totally forgot that Chris Tucker produced both Rush Hours.......and, my bad for leaving out Money Talks. I didn't know he oversaw that one too though. thanks for setting me straight.
and LOL and you swinging back w/the Denzel stories.....i wasn't trying to call you out about his chip game.....i know you+him go way back and he was one of the first dudes to help you w/a gameplan. but if that's how I can bait you into dropping more tales, guess I'll have to start putting you on blast more often.
seriously, I've been a fan of Denzel's ever since Cry Freedom. I dig almost all his flicks, including the "submarine one"...........pssst..... Crimson Tide.
btw, you just HAD to mention Lawry's. I was in that joint literally every week for the first couple of months I lived down there. Even though the place is filled w/Asians on Fri-weekends & they've kinda fallen off a bit, I still go there any chance I can cuz the prices are still affordable compared to other foo-foo Bev Hills spots. You always see some cool cats there too....Bryan McKnight bought me+my homeys drinks once and saw Joey Lawrence--WHOA....from Blossom and some other dudes before.
God, I miss LA.
