An unforgettable night at the @AcademyMuseum with @jonmchu to screen “Gwai Lo.” This USC student film short from 2002 was his first musical, my first musical, and our first film together.
Seeing it on the big screen again was a beautiful, surreal experience.

If anyone else ever climbs up to the tank, they’ll spot a little reminder that Cruise left behind. Before the shoot, Chu handed Cruise a marker and suggested he sign the top of the tower, which made Cruise’s eyes light up. “It was one of those moments I’ll never forget in Hollywood,” Chu says. “I’ve done a lot of things, but that’s one of, never, never forget.”

Paramount made a top secret short film with 30 stars for their CinemaCon presentation. And they did it in 7 weeks! I got all the exclusive details on how they pulled it off, including putting Tom Cruise on top of the water tower. Exclusive images too:

Neat bit about how nature is both perfection (O) and chaos (Z) and that the wizard took out the chaos when he arrived and Elphaba is the reemergence of that nature

👊🏼thank you J.J.
J.J. Abrams on why #WickedForGood is one of his favorite movies of 2026:
The musical numbers in “Wicked: For Good” feel fully integrated rather than ornamental, each emerging from character and story with a naturalness that is deceptively difficult to achieve. “The Girl in the Bubble” (a new song for this film) stands out as a prime example — a visually bold, emotionally grounded, meticulously shaped sequence.
