The opening weekend for War of the Worlds
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/4647697.stm
This shows that along with Tom Cruise and the release of the film, this is a hugely successful film on the opening weekend, foreshadowing the events to come, with it eventually taking $591,745,550 in the box office. This may be because of the popularity of Tom Cruise, meaning they will attract a bigger audience because of his star-status.

Interview by the Los Angeles times to Tom Cruise regarding scientology
http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/la-fi-scientology18dec18,0,4240686.story
This is useful as it shows that they are using his star-status as an icon which will appeal to many as Tom Cruise is involved. Before Tom Cruise joined up, the scientology movement was barely known but thanks too Tom Cruise and his status, they have become better known, thanks to him. This shows that if a relativley unknown group have a star joined, which will appeal to many, their group is bound to become more famous, purely because of the star which they have.

Tom Cruise appearing on the Oprah show
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yOxHaSeQUi0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This is pivotal for my project research as this is what Tom Cruise is famous for and is associated with. This is strange for a star to behave like this on a chat show, as they are usually reserved. This proves that Tom Cruise is a fun character, which may appeal too many, enhancing his star status

Review on Collateral by Joshua Tyler
http://www.cinemablend.com/reviews/Collateral-599.html
This is useful for my project as it shows how it was received by others and in particular, the film critics. A film critics decision on the film may be pivotal purely for the fact that many people take note on what they say, positive or not, and may go and see the film after the review it has just been given; meaning the decision made by the person to go and see the film is influenced by the critics review.

Interview with Tom Cruise from the Valkyrie DVD special features
From 4:06 til 15:59
This is useful as it gives us an idea of how Tom Cruise performs throughout his films but also the impact he has on the people around him. For example, there is a part where the German authorites are unsure about filming in a specific place, and Tom Cruise talks to them and reassures them that the film is fully focused on the importance behind the resistance. This is pivotal for the German authorities as they hold the resistance as a national treasure. This helps with the research on Tom Cruise as it shows how much of an influence he has on people, purely because of his stardom.
