A new report claims that Tom Cruise and the Church of Scientology are launching a new media company to produce films and TV shows, as well as launching a TV news network.
After a report surfaced that Tom was supposedly leaving Scientology for his daughter Suri, a new report completely debunks that claim.
According to the Daily Mail, he and his church have built a TV news network in a massive $50 million Hollywood studio.

The five-acre studio lot reportedly aims to rival CNN, radio stations and major movie studios with two sound stages, seven video-editing bays, a broadcast building and 150,000 square feet of production facilities.
"They will try to do TV shows which are legitimate, speaking about every day things with a Scientology slant," Scientology critic Tony Ortega, who runs the anti-church website Underground Bunker, told the outlet.
There are tons of pictures on the Scientology Facebook page showing generated images of the massive studio lot that will be the home to multiple studios, suites and newsrooms.
The DailyMail sources even claim that Cruise, who's long been the most visible member of the religion, could use the facility to get more of Scientology's message into future movies like John Travolta did in "Battlefield Earth" (based on the book by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard).
Tabloids have previously said the church even "auditioned" women to be Cruise's girlfriend before he married Katie Holmes, and the new studios could allegedly be used for similar interviews.
An insider previously claimed that Tom planned to leave the controversial church because he was devastated to realize how much of his daughter’s life he was missing out on.
“When she speaks to him on the phone, it’s becoming more and more like she’s talking to a stranger,” the insider said. But new reports clearly proved Tom's loyalty to his church.
The 53-year-old actor is currently filming "Mena," and he will appear next on the big screen in "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation." He is also expected to reprise his role as Maverick in "Top Gun 2."
