Legendary wants to expand but needs a powerful board of directors and a degree of oversight this fli

EXCLUSIVE: Warner Bros tells me that technically speaking Legendary Pictures was never officially in to co-finance  Tom Cruise s futuristic world army-vs-alien fighters sci-fi film currently filming in London. But then why was Thomas Tull s banner listed on WB s October wedding chapel lodging branson mo 1st announcement  dating wedding chapel lodging branson mo All You Need Is Kill for 2014 ? Anticipated their involvement but was never firm, WB tells me. So this is what I ve learned: the movie s UK production was just notified within the past 24 hours that Legendary has pulled out of Warner Bros All You Need Is Kill starring Cruise and Emily Blunt with Doug Liman directing. Actually, Legendary s decision was made about 10 days ago after Warner Bros begged wedding chapel lodging branson mo Legendary to come in with Village Roadshow. Legendary agreed to come on subject wedding chapel lodging branson mo to terms. That meant subject to script, budget, and creative mandate, confirms my insider. But then Legendary decided it doesn t fit within wedding chapel lodging branson mo their creative mandate or fanboy demographic and they didn t really have the appetite for this. So they didn t come to terms with Warner Bros. I m assured that the Legendary-WB relationship is still very much intact, especially with Legendary having brought Pacific Rim and Godzilla to the studio while co-financing Man Of Steel with Warner Bros. Meanwhile, there are vehement denials of behind-the-scenes chatter that Liman is over budget or Cruise is running the show.  All You Need Is Kill  is dated for March 14, 2014.
Tull is notorious for being cheap. Thomas Tull wants a big return for putting little money in. Tull will only piggy-back off of Warner Bros if movie is well known or if Nolan is attached and can guarantee him some notoriety
Tom Cruise is in control? really, that s news? Of course he s in control. There is no other star like him and, love him or hate him, it s hard to deny he s a global box office draw. That benefits him certain luxuries.
Legendary wants to expand but needs a powerful board of directors and a degree of oversight this flip flop is a true PR blunder because if the movie succeeds everyone will know Legendary passed on the opportunity. This company has a lot of potential but it is very clearly run on the whims of one man and his ego which has never spelled success for a diversified creative business.
um, the old Hollywood studios did some good work under the whims of one man and his ego. more recently, Bob Shaye and Harvey Weinstein come to mind. not saying Tull is any of these, but there is precedent.
