Paramount cuts ties with Tom Cruise

The latest high-profile Hollywood breakup is between Tom Cruise and his studio.Sumner Redstone, entertainment giant Viacom chairman, said the reason behind the break-up with superstar Tom Cruise was because they were annoyed with his starry attitude.

Speaking about it at Berlin International Film Festival, Redstone said the main reason for the split between Paramount, his flagship venture, and the most powerful and bankable star in the world happened because he wanted to send a signal to the industry that a star is not important, it's the script which is the king.

He said: 'Tom Cruise is a great actor. It was just his behaviour... We are paying the talent too much. Because it is not the talent that makes the movie, it is the script. And if you have a great script, the talent rushes to appear in it and not at too heavy a price.

    The happiness of the bee and the dolphin is to exist. For man it is to
    know that and to wonder at it.
