From The Desk Of Tom Cruise…

Thank you Dubai:

We just wrapped shooting MI: Ghost Protocol in Dubai and I would like to take this opportunity to extend a sincere thank you to His Highness Sheikh Mohammad and the team he assembled to assist us with our very successful and productive time in his Emirate.

We were given a very unique opportunity to shoot in a location that has, up to this point, not been featured on film.  I shot in many locations around the country including many exhilarating days filming scenes in IMAX on the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa.

Dubai is an exceptionally beautiful and very family friendly location.  My family and I spent our evenings at the water park, go-karting, indoor skiing, shopping, scuba diving, camel riding, desert dune bashing, and we still didn’t fit in all that there is to enjoy!

The warmth, hospitality and generosity of spirit extended to all of us by His Highness and the people of Dubai will long be remembered and appreciated.

We could not have accomplished all that we needed to get done without the hard work and dedication of our Dubai and Prague crews. It was a great pleasure working with all of you; you did a fantastic job!

My family and I send our warmest wishes for the coming holidays and continued good health and prosperity in the coming year.

Sincerely,

Tom Cruise

    Hi Tom, first my english is bad sorry, I want to ask some questions
    I guess Hollywood cant find a good screenplay so make old movies again you are a producer to. Are you searching new screenplay specially exempt United States. Did you any search in Turkey? Did you any watch turkish movie? Turkish cinema is very good. But movie companies cant find enough source.
    Now personal questions:))
    Are you really a happy person? Are you pleased your life, your work? Have you regrets for last years?

    thanks, bye

    Hi, Tom. Have you ever heard of Skobelev. If yes, you can make some movie not about him but victims he made. I’m talking about the country which you have even never heard about. It’s too far from your homecountry. The idea is in my mind for several years. After watching “The Last Samurai” I imagined you in my project. Unfortunately, my country isn’t popular with movie productions so my ideas are dying instead of bringing them to life. If my dream comes true one day I think my country will be heard of worldwide because of this project,for sure, if you will take part in it. I mean somebody that is an international actor, director etc. The story goes back to 18-19 centuries. If you are a kind of interested please write to my e-mail. I’ll share the whole story. Good luck.

  • Stepndown

    Tom, I enjoy your action movies quite a bit. I think you show strength and vulnerability in your characters. One of my favorites is Minority Report. What would need to be done in order for you to finally do a sequel. The unanswered questions alone about the character’s son and the future are enough for a new movie.nnStephen DownienRaynham Ma.

  • Ron

    Tom, I enjoy your movies.. You should consider filming in Minnesota.. I will be your stunt double. ;) nnKeep up the hard work.

    I am from dubia .. And I was very excited when I noticed that TOM CRUISE is shooting in Dubia >>EEp nhappy new years tom

  • Wezhind

    Looking forward to watching it. The MI series is great!! If you’re ever looking for projects – though doubtful as Mr Les Grossman is about to make you a comedy star – please consider the novel – Intervention by Julian May.

  • Baurushan99

    We love you Tom Cruise. I hope this movie turns out to be one of the greatest hits of 2011. Good luck with your filming.

    Just wanted to tell you…Knight and Day…the extended version…was out of sight!!!! I enjoyed it so much that I took it to a family member the next night…and watched it again. nnI was just thinking…you and Will Smith in a movie…but I don’t know if you two could pull it off…since both of you have such strong star power…and presence. That might be too much for one screen. I think to pull that one off…one of you would have to be the bad guy…kind of like Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino.nnNew Fan…nnEutropia

  • Simon

    Hi, Tom Happy New Near from Sevilla, I had the pleasure of meet you and worked in the shooting of knight and day, you have some special thing that make you different, In my opinion you need a more serious next film in the line of rain man or born in the fourth of july, accion movies and comedies are great but perhaps one serious movie can help you in your continous exitates, best regards

  • charityfortune

    I wonder what it would be like to have a real secret agent work on your movie…you seem like a real one yourself in the movies…
