More than 20 years ago, Tom Cruise starred in what eventually became one of his most overlooked sci-fi works despite being a critical and commercial success. As you already know, the award-winning actor has since established himself as an icon in high-concept science fiction, often combining the genre with intense action and visual spectacles. Edge of Tomorrow, Minority Report, War of the Worlds, Oblivion, and Vanilla Sky remain among his most renowned sci-fi works to date, and one of these has seen a sudden resurgence on streaming.

From director Steven Spielberg and marking one of multiple collaborations between Cruise and Spielberg, this underappreciated sci-fi movie is based on H. G. Wells’ popular 1898 novel. War of the Worlds centers on an American dockworker who must look after his estranged children as he struggles to protect and reunite them with their mother when extraterrestrials invade Earth and devastate cities with giant war machines. In addition to the 63-year-old actor, Dakota Fanning, Miranda Otto, and Tim Robbins appear in main roles, while Morgan Freeman serves as the narrator.

For nearly a week, War of the Worlds has been trending on Paramount+ in Europe, particularly in the UK and Ireland. It has been among the top 5 movies in both countries since Valentine’s Day and ranks in the third spot as of this publication. This comes 21 years after the sci-fi action movie was released in June 2005 and grossed over $603 million worldwide against a $132 million production budget, making it the fourth-most successful film of that year. Additionally, as a critical success, the masterpiece boasts a Certified Fresh 75% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Tom Cruise’s ‘War of the Worlds’ Isn’t the Only Adaptation

Cruise’s War of the Worlds isn’t the only adaptation of the 1898 novel, as the book has inspired eight films as of 2025. The most recent of the bunch is director Rich Lee’s massive flop, released on July 30, 2025. Starring Ice Cube and Eva Longoria, the sci-fi film received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics and holds a rotten 4% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes. It is also described as one of the worst movies of all time.

The 2005 War of the Worlds‘ adaptation streams on Paramount+ in the UK and Ireland. Follow Collider for more information.

She ended by saying she is done protecting his image and is focused on protecting her peace and her children. At the time, reports indicated that no police report had been filed in Overland Park, Kansas, or in Dallas.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos is sharing an update on the Nancy Guthrie investigation, as the search for Savannah Guthrie’s mom continues for a third week.

In a Tuesday, February 17, interview with NewsNation’s Brian Entin, Nanos was asked, “How long can this go on for, in terms of the investigation at this level?”

“Because of the media, we’ve generated so many leads. Last Wednesday, we had 18,000 leads. The FBI had 14. So you’re talking over 30,000 [leads]. We’re probably closer to 40 or 50,000 [leads],” Nanos said. “As long as those leads keep coming, we’ll keep at it.”

The search for Nancy, 84, began on February 1 when she was reported missing in Arizona after failing to attend a virtual church service. Nancy was last seen on the night of January 31 when she was dropped off at home in the Catalina Foothills, just outside of Tucson, by her daughter, Annie Guthrie, following a family dinner.

Authorities are shedding light on a potential timeline into the ongoing investigation surrounding Savannah Guthrie’s mom Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told The New York Times on Friday, February 13, that investigators are still “looking hard,” with about 400 people on the case. While he is certain that the team will find […]

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI have been treating Nancy’s disappearance as a suspected kidnapping.

The FBI revealed a break in the case on February 10 when the bureau’s director, Kash Patel, released recovered surveillance camera footage and images of a masked suspect at Nancy’s home on the night of her apparent abduction.

“New images in the search for Nancy Guthrie,” Patel shared via X alongside four black-and-white photos of the masked individual, recovered from a Nest doorbell camera at the entrance of Nancy’s home. “Over the last eight days, the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department have been working closely with our private sector partners to continue to recover any images or video footage from Nancy Guthrie’s home that may have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors – including the removal of recording devices. The video was recovered from residual data located in backend systems.”

The post continued, “Working with our partners – as of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance. Anyone with information, please contact 1-800-CALL-FBI or visit http://tips.fbi.gov.”

The individual in the photos and footage can be seen wearing a ski mask and backpack. The person also appeared to have a firearm holstered in the waistband of their pants.

Two days later, the FBI released more details about the suspect, describing the individual as likely being a “a male, approximately 5’9’’ – 5’10’’ tall, with an average build.”

“In [a newly-obtained security] video, he is wearing a black, 25-liter ‘Ozark Trail Hiker Pack’ backpack,” the FBI added in a February 12 update.

In a Monday, February 16, interview with CBS News, Nanos said that investigators believe the face mask and clothing worn by the individual in the footage were purchased from Walmart.

Savannah Guthrie’s family faced an unimaginable situation when they learned that their matriarch, 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, was reported missing in Arizona in February 2026. As police have become involved in the investigation and the case has unraveled, many people are curious about the timeline of events that went down before and after Nancy disappeared. “On […]

On Tuesday, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department confirmed that DNA found on a pair of gloves two miles from Nancy’s home did not match DNA profiles in the FBI’s national database.

In Tuesday’s interview with NewsNation, Nanos also weighed in on a theory that Nancy may have been abducted by someone with a grievance against Today show host Savannah, 54.

“Anything’s possible,” he said. “There was talk [that] this was a burglary gone bad, this was that … those things have never come out of this office. We recognize that anything is possible and we’ll allow that evidence to show us what that is.”

“The time to ask that question [about] motive is when we actually know who’s done this,” Nanos added.

Trey Songz Switches Up His Look

Earlier this week, Songz took to his Instagram Story to share an apparent photo of himself, apparently from one of his recent performances over the Valentine’s Day weekend. To note, on January 16, Songz shared a post alerting fans that he was hopping on stage in St. Louis, Missouri, Southaven, Mississippi, and Nashville, Tennessee.

Furthermore, Songz specifically shared a photo of himself smiling at the crowd while touching his apparently freshly-shaved bald head.

Peep the photo below.

Since then, Songz has poked fun at his switched-up look, re-sharing a meme about being bald via his Instagram Story. Peep the meme by clicking here.

The Fans Are Divided — Some Are Feeling Nostalgic

Social media users reacted to Trey Songz’ switch-up in TSR’s comment section. Many felt Songz’ bald head took them straight back to his 2012 ‘Chapter V’ album era.

Months Before Trey Songz Switched Up His Look, He Landed In Handcuffs IN NYC

Before Trey Songz switched up his look, he landed in handcuffs in New York City. As The Shade Room previously reported, in December, Songz allegedly punched a nightclub worker in the face. Then, a few weeks later, he was reportedly escorted out of a restaurant and lounge for allegedly damaging “$1,500 worth of restaurant property, including hookahs, DJ equipment, and sofas.”

Subsequently, Songz was charged with “five misdemeanor assault and harassment counts” for the first incident. Additionally, he was charged with a felony “mischief in the second degree” for the second incident. Furthermore, Songz pleaded not guilty to the charges while the worker in the first incident reportedly received an order of protection against him.

“Last night, Trey was confronted by individuals who instigated a confrontation and attempted to surround him. His security intervened to protect him and contain the situation, and an altercation occurred in the ensuing confusion. Public figures are often treated as targets for instigation in pursuit of headlines or financial gain. Trey is cooperating fully in both matters, and we are confident the full context and facts will come to light,” Mitchell Schuster, his attorney, explained about the second incident.
