Lion for Lambs

[Antonello Blueberry]

If you want to taste a glimpse of how would have been Adrian Veidt as portrayed by Tom Cruise, watch "Lion for Lambs".
Near the end of the movie Meryl Streep asks Cruise, a Republican politician, when he will start his master plan and he answers "I did it 30 minutes ago".

that upsets me. I love that line, and am upset if it has been stolen like that.

Oh well, i dont think too many people wll see that movie.

Hmm... and I bet he stole that line from reading Snyder's script.
Sure, another guy is credited as the writer of LFL screenplay, but this is Tom Cruise we're talking about. If he says he wants that line in the movie, it'll be in the movie.

If he "stole" the line to piss of Warners and Snyder because he wasn't cast as Veidt, then wow...

It's my understanding that Tom Cruise is a huge comic book fan, and very much wanted to be involved in WATCHMEN. He was also in the running for IRON MAN way back when.

I see it more as a homage than a "stolen line". It's not the kind of line that no one's ever said before.
