HOLLYWOOD - Scarlett Johansson pulled out of appearing in the second Mission: Impossiblesequel after Tom Cruise tried to convert her to Scientology, according to
reports.
Cruise, who produces the action adventures, met with Johansson ahead of
casting for the upcoming M:I 3 and took her to one of the
controversial religion's headquarters, claims RadarMagazine.com.
A source tells the website, "After two hours of proselytising, Cruise opened
a door to reveal a second room full of upper-level Scientologists who had been
waiting to dine with the pair, at which point the cool-headed ingénue politely
excused herself."
Officially Johansson quit the film because of scheduling conflicts after the
film was delayed so Cruise could make War of the Worlds.
