It should also be noted that Cruise doing his own stunts is “good for the production” because it means they don’t have to pay stunt doubles and it’s actually kind of lovely for Cruise to be stealing their work.

And they still have to digitally shrink him to make you think it's Cruise.

That was a stunt double. He's now unemployed and on food stamps because of arrogant thrill seeking movie stars.

Nah, it was in the news September 2020 already. Everyone's just yapping about it again due footage shown at CinemaCon.

I want to see the movie solely to hear the story reason as to why there's a loving useless ramp in the middle of nowhere. At least I'd expect it to be part of the movie, because if it's just a stupid jump they're cutting to, a stuntman would have done just fine.

Cruise taking jobs from stunt people reminds me of how Russel T Davies said he refused the chance to do a background cameo in his last Doctor Who episode because it would take a job from a hypothetical extra.

I did like his story about when he take taxis, the drivers would ask him what he did for a living, and when he replied that he worked on Doctor Who, the drivers would inevitably ask "Oh, you play one of the monsters?" (Russell T Davies stands six-foot-six)

Good new episode but the animation was pretty cheap and bad. It worked for the central concept of the episode/the way Maya and Anna looked but otherwise was p. ugly

I realize that an actor can only do so much if a character isn't written well or interesting. But I have seen her in GoT, Downton Abbey and The Good Fight, and I just find her bland in all of them.

Like I said, I think she's great -- though in two of those shows she was hampered by poor writing.

I thought she was great in Utopia and Echo as well, both of which made use of her natural chilliness to great effect.

I guess just watching a lot of a canceled show on streaming actually works as Netflix has reached a deal for a final season of Manifest.

https://deadline.com/2021/08/manifest-saved-renewed-season-4-netflix-cast-josh-dallas-melissa-roxburgh-return-1234823691/

20 episodes, released in multiple parts.

Did anybody here actually watch this? It feels like it's been in the top 5 of Netflix for like 3 months, but I only recall a couple comments that it sucked

My wife works full time from home still and she watched all of it. I watched enough to know it is trash, and my wife would even agree it is not that good. I think what you are seeing is people working from home (lots of background watching) are running out of poo poo to watch
