Is it possible that a story can make you feel a) grossed out b) disbelieving and c) a little bit excited all at once? The answer is yes, when that story is that Tom Cruise and wifelet Katie Holmes are allegedly considering remaking the sexually-charged movie Last Tango in Paris together. Yes, the film that scarred anyone who watched it with that rear view of Marlon Brando’s middle-aged, er, rear is, according to Britain’s Now magazine, being lined up by Sir Scientology to boost Katie’s movie career. Regardless of the fact it’s possibly the worst idea ever.
“Anything sexy with a good story appeals. It’s also show the world that their marriage isn’t one of convenience. Tom’s looking for something that is cutting edge and sexy. He’s thinking along the lines of Basic Instinct — a movie that has a mainstream-style plot, but also some intense sex stuff,” a film source tells the mag.
Eeew. Intense sex stuff. Let’s just remind ourselves of the “success” rate of past movies where couples have decided to show the world their on-screen love: Gigli (Ben Affleck and J.Lo); Scooby Doo (Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr); and Shanghai Surprise (Madonna and Sean Penn). And is it possible that Tom’s already forgotten about Far and Away and Eyes Wide Shut?
