In the meantime, imagine being loved by these two………….now triple that. #Wicked https://t.co/piENY3OaaC

An unforgettable night at the @AcademyMuseum with @jonmchu to screen “Gwai Lo.” This USC student film short from 2002 was his first musical, my first musical, and our first film together.

Seeing it on the big screen again was a beautiful, surreal experience.

@BenJamminAsh Just for accuracy… it is not me. I would have been 13 years old in 1994 when this was shot….. it just always stays on my IMDB and I keep trying to fix it but it never goes away 🤷🏻 hey @IMDb can you help me out?

If anyone else ever climbs up to the tank, they’ll spot a little reminder that Cruise left behind. Before the shoot, Chu handed Cruise a marker and suggested he sign the top of the tower, which made Cruise’s eyes light up. “It was one of those moments I’ll never forget in Hollywood,” Chu says. “I’ve done a lot of things, but that’s one of, never, never forget.”

Paramount made a top secret short film with 30+ stars for their CinemaCon presentation. And they did it in 7 weeks! I got all the exclusive details on how they pulled it off, including putting Tom Cruise on top of the water tower. Exclusive images too:

Long live the movies.

[Nicki Minaj @NICKIMINAJ]

We didn’t know it then but this was the golden age for a certain generation. Every song felt this big & magical.
The writers, producers, artists, labels, everyone took this genuine, unquantifiable energy for granted. It’s a lesson on appreciating what you have before it’s gone🎀

[Jon M. Chu @jonmchu]

Yes it is. 4am. At a waterpark.

[cynthia on taskmaster SOON @valkelphie]

Neat bit about how nature is both perfection (O) and chaos (Z) and that the wizard took out the chaos when he arrived and Elphaba is the reemergence of that nature
