War Of The Worlds Open Today

The new War of the Worlds movie opens today in the US to pretty positive reviews. Star Tom Cruise took the opportunity today to announce that he firmly believes in extraterrestrial life. Unfortunately he's also taking every opportunity to argue with interviewers about the crazy cult he belongs to, so the message will probably be lost in all that.

Asked in an interview with the tabloid daily Bild if he believed in aliens, Cruise said: "Yes, of course. Are you really so arrogant as to believe we are alone in this universe?

"Millions of stars, and we're supposed to be the only living creatures? No, there are many things out there, we just don't know," Cruise, 42, said in the interview published in German.
