“Women have more purposes than sleeping with Tom Cruise.” The surprising knock that an executive put on one of Rob Reiner’s best films – Movie news

before seeing some good menthe only thing I knew about her was the famous “Did you order the code red?” and its consequent “You can’t handle the truth!”. However, what was in between left me frankly amazed: the recently deceased Rob Reiner was able to fantastically direct an excellent script by Aaron Sorkin, making the performances of Tom Cruise, Demi Moore and Jack Nicholson look even better than they already are. However, The film was about to go awry because of an executive producer who didn’t quite understand what it was about.

I think I have a right to know!

Without a doubt, the focus of the project was on Cruise, who took in $12.5 million, roughly a third of the budget. He is not the one who earned the most proportionally: that was Nicholson, who earned $500,000 per day worked. In total, five million from the wing. In comparison, Moore, who came from Ghost but he was not yet a mega-star, he had to settle for a lower salary…and disgusting sexist comments.

Sorkin said that one day he received a note from an executive whose name still remains anonymous. In that note it was read “If Tom Cruise and Demi Moore aren’t going to sleep together, why is Demi Moore a woman?”. Even in 1992, the machismo of the note is more than obvious, so Sorkin was forced to answer in an obvious way: “Women have more purposes than sleeping with Tom Cruise”.

To this day, Sorkin claims that this was the worst experience of his life as a screenwriter, and no wonder… Although Probably, around Hollywood, notes this disgusting are still sent in all the scripts. Luckily, some good men It’s still a real stunner more than three decades later, and he didn’t need notes from any tie-breaker to get it done!
