Relieved to report that Cruise and Kidman appear to be defecting from S-c-i-e-n-t-o-l-o-g-y, according to Hollywood gossip. “And (Cruise) appears not to have been very

supportive of fellow S-c-i-e-n-t-o-l-o-g-i-s-t John

Travolta’s attempts to turn B-a-t-t-l-e-f-i-e-l-d E-a-r-t-h (by L. R-o-n H-u-b-b-a-r-d, the founder of S-c-i-e-n-t-o-l-o-g-y) into a movie.

While working on Eyes Wide Shut, it is

claimed that he hinted to executives at

Warner Bros, the studio behind both movie

projects, that releasing B-a-t-t-l-e-f-i-e-l-d E-a-r-t-h would

be a mistake.” (No matter, the film is likely to be a bomb anyway, but maybe a few more people will avoid it if its provenance is known.)
