Cruise Planning Scientology Movie Starring Ex-Spice Girl?

[SoulManX]

Tom Cruise may be planning to follow in the footsteps of John Travolta and make a movie based on the ideas of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. According to the London Daily Star, Cruise has already cast former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, the wife of soccer star David Beckham, to star in the movie, titled The Thetan in the role of an "alien bride." In Hubbard's thinking, "the thetan" is the spiritual part of man that advances from one lifetime to the next, inhabiting the minds and bodies of generations of individuals. According to the tabloid, Cruise is financing the movie on his own after the major studios rejected it. Travolta's $73-million movie based on Hubbard's sci-fi novel Battlefield Earth was a major flop, grossing just $21 million at the domestic box office.

Why can't Tom Cruise just die already?

 

[Mister Sinister]

As much as I like Tom Cruise and will defend his right to practice any wacky religion he wants...that was from a British tabloid and was likely made up.

Besides, there is a reason her solo music career flopped. She can't sing. I doubt she can act somehow.

Then her role as an Alien Bride will be aprospos.

Not trying to be rude, but after watching that movie I thought it was just a horribly written B movie script, I didn't realize that.

All I knew about Scientology prior was the southpark episode, and that John Travolta, Tom Cruise, and Isaac Hayes were in it. Well that and that you have to pay money to be in it. I guess I can toss....Battlefield Earth...in with that now .

 

[Darthphere]

Rubbish.

 

[Fading]

Lol, I was just surprised is all. I mean even as a movie it took a bit for me to set thru it. I was just surprised to hear ppl think of it as more than a movie is all.

I know even less, except that we have a scientology centre in town that never has anyone in it except the same three volunteers.

Concerns arose prior to the film's release that it reportedly contained subliminal messages. [3] Scientology researcher Lawrence Wollersheim, in a press release, claimed the Church of Scientology "has placed highly advanced subliminal messages in the Battlefield Earth film master to surreptitiously recruit new members from the movie audience and to get the audience to develop a revulsion for psychiatry and current mental health organizations and practices." [4]
By the time the film was released on DVD, it had been drastically edited from the original theatrical version. [5]

Hubbard portrays the Psychlos as being ruled by the Catrists, a pun on psychiatrists. He describes them as a group of evil charlatans, claiming to be mental health experts. This is comparable to Scientology's rejectionist view of psychiatry. Those among the Psychlos who do not share the views of the Catrists or oppose them are subjected to various forms of persecution; particularly, the Catrists use surgical mind control to maintain their power. Again, Hubbard frequently claimed in Scientology that psychiatrists used such tactics to maintain their influence and funding.
A supporting character, a Psychlo mathematician named Soth, is described as having been shaped by the views of his mother who was a member of a resistance group, a so-called "church," which held religious meetings secretly.
Early in its history, the Psychlo species had no fixed name, instead being named after the Emperor of the day. The word "Psychlo" is revealed to have originally meant "mental patient" in the alien language, signifying that the Catrists feel (or in any case claim) that the entire population requires treatment as mental patients. Scientology portrays modern society as being the battleground for a war between psychiatry and Scientology for the future of humanity.
Space opera is a common recurring motif in Scientology doctrine. Scientology works describe intergalactic battles between alien races (most notably the Xenu teachings), and Hubbard went as far as to claim that the modern-day science fiction genre of space opera is merely an unconscious recollection of real events from millions of years ago. He described Earth to Scientologists as being a "prison planet"

I knew it.

Cruise is going the Glibson route and is going to make the passion of Hubbard.

Then in a few years he'll be caught for driving under the influence of whatever the hell Cruise gets off on, which is probably something freaky and gross. And he'll make anti-...well, I guess he can't really dig a deeper hole for his carreer then he already has, huh
