Actor Demands That Changed Movies For The Better

Tom Cruise in The Mummy

When you’re as big of a star as Tom Cruise, you can make a few demands that change the film. 2017’s The Mummy was no exception. The actor demanded that he have more screen time than the actual mummy – you know, the titular character?

Screenwriters scrambled to rewrite the story and adjust the screentime for the characters. The result was a box office flop which ended Universal’s planned Monsters’ Universe – set to expand into Frankenstein, Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde, and Werewolf.
