Paula Wagner

Bueno, él ya era la estrella más grande del mundo finales de los ochenta, ¿no? Por ahí, pero noventas.

Y él en los noventas, junto a su agente, no, su, su agente, Paula Wagner, juntos crean, eh, CruzWagner Productions, que fue una casa de producción que él dijo: «No, okay, toda película que yo haga va a ser a través de esta casa de producción.

Y yo voy a escoger mi director, voy a escoger mis estrellas, voy a escoger todo y me voy para arriba».

Por eso, si tú ves toda película de Tom Cruise, tipo del 95 en adelante, es producida por él.

No, by 2006...

When United Artists is being revived by Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner, who have partnered with MGM, they're going to bring United Artists back to its former glory.

They release two films under the Paula Wagner regime, which are Lions for Lambs and Valkyrie.

And that's it.

By 2011, United Artists is essentially fully swallowed once more by MGM.

So that's abridged a mightily abridged version of the united artists saga so that's what we're dealing with when anytime you hear about a movie that is being sort of like what happened to that movie i thought it was coming out just go and check and maybe make sure it hasn't been at one point it wasn't originally

set up at some various united artists yeah

yeah yeah so there you go If you would have asked me, I would have been like, oh yeah, Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner ran United Artists for like a decade.

Apparently, they wanted it to be a bit lower, but he was like, "No, I want spectacle, damn it," and he got it to 80 million.

'Cause he used to produce with someone called Paula Wagner.

Oh, yeah.

And they used to produce quite a few films together, and then eventually they parted ways, but he kept producing.

And before we get into the trouble that it's in right now, I wanna share the synopsis of the story.

Um, they say, let's see, uh, "When chaos hits the streets of Minneapolis, a young federal agent is left alone after his partner is seriously hurt and must find a way to survive an increasingly dangerous situation.

Seeking shelter inside a neighborhood pawn shop, he becomes trapped with a traditional Hispanic father and his progressive college-aged son, forcing three very different men to confront fear, conflicting beliefs, and a crisis that tests their courage and humanity." So everyone in the media is calling this Daily Wire's pro-ICE movie, and it focuses on this ICE agent.

It starts, according to people who have seen the script, with a dramatized scene depicting something inspired by the shooting of Rene Goode that took place in Minnesota earlier this year, and this is them doing that reenactment, that dramatized version of the scene in this clip that Deadline shared.

And-

Yeah, I've got it right here, where...

Yeah, so y- she, she's mashing on the gas, reverses the truck, and then the ICE agent's partner shoots her in the neck and the forehead, but we'll, we'll get to that in a minute.

Anyway, locals are pissed about the production of this movie for a variety of reasons, none of which are explicitly ideological, but I think we can gather they wouldn't be protesting if it weren't a Daily Wire production.
