Gangs Gets the Cruise Treatment...

Due to be released next Christmas the original gangster movie, Gangs of New York starring Daniel Day Lewis, has spared no expense recreating the period setting.

According to Entertainment Weekly the movie is to have a specially built to-scale church.

The Scorsese movie has faced long-delays which all began the day Tom Cruise. Apparently the actor had been with Miramax's Harvey Weinstein in Madrid for The Others, which Cruise was producing for his then wife, Nicole Kidman.

Cruise and Weinstein flew to Rome to surprise Scorsese and production designer Dante Ferretti. Scorsese started complaining that Weinstein wouldn't let them build a church for a key scene. At that point, the building was only a two-sided facade.

Scorsese and Ferretti's dream was to be able to pan a full 360 degrees around the church.

"Harvey was concerned about what the interior of the church would cost," Scorsese recalls. "He was asking question after question. Finally Tom said, 'Will you please give Marty the church? He needs it.'"

With pressure from Cruise and Co Weinstein approved $100,000 for the building, later dubbed St. Thomas. "Ironically enough," says Weinstein, "it's 180 [degrees] in the movie."

Of course, that's not how Scorsese sees it. "Oh, no, no, no," he says. "I like the full church."
