Venice Film Festival: Hollywood shines a light on Scientology – Telegraph.

Paul Thomas Anderson’s new movie “The Master”, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival tells the story of the early days of Scientology.

It has been revealed that Tom Crusie requested a private viewing of the movie before the premiere. Anderson would not disclose what Tom Cruise thought of the movie, saying only, “we are still friends”.

Tom Cruise is Scientology’s most famous follower. The movement has been called Hollywood’s cult with celebrities like John Travolta and Lisa Marie Presley also members.

The movie The Master is tipped as a potential winner of the Golden Lion, the Venice Festival’s most prestigious award.

Scientology was founded by L. Ron Hubbard in the 1950s. Hubbard also came up with the idea of “Project Celebrity” to promote his ideas. He targeted the big names of Hollywood at the time: Greta Garbo, Howard Hughes and Orson Welles. Hubbard was unsuccesful at gaining their support, unlike modern day Hollywood.

Scientology are also planning on launching a broadcasting service from near their Hollywood headquarters, to promote the teachings of Scientology to a global audience.

Scientology founders great-grandson blasts church

Jamie DeWolf, the great-grandson of L. Ron Hubbard the Scientology founder, says that the Scientology church destroyed his family.

Even though he never met his great grandfather DeWolf has labeled Hubbard as a “portly red-headed charismatic lying con-man pseudoscience self-help author” and describes Scientology as a “pyramid scheme that sells secrets and they sell them under the guise of self-help.”

In an interview with CBS out of San Francisco, DeWolf relates a story of how the church spied and followed on him with a number of Scientologists.

DeWolf feels that Tom Cruise is a “golden mascot,” and that his marriage breakup with Katie Holmes, was probably due to her becoming aware of the behind the scenes of Scientology.  However he views Cruise as “… another victim of the mirage that my great grandfather created around himself,”

Katie Holmes went stealth to leave Tom Cruise and Scientology

On July 11 a new report about Katie Holmes showed that the soon-to-be ex-wife of Tom Cruise used stealth methods to leave him and his religion of Scientology.
According to “Extra” via several sources, Holmes took special measures to end her marriage by using disposable cell phones to orchestrate this move that apparently had been long in coming for the actress who had been wed to Cruise for five years.
 While Tom was filming his newest movie called “Oblivion” in Iceland, Katie went to some key players who became her confidants as she decided to pull the plug on her legal union with Cruise.
One such player was her dad, attorney Bert Fields, while the other was another former Mrs. Cruise, Nicole Kidman. Both helped Katie execute the complicated exit Holmes felt was necessary in order to leave her husband.Meanwhile, Tom Cruise is said to be in bad shape after this personal set-back as he continues to film “Oblivion” in June Lake, California.
People reports that the accomplished actor keeps asking, “Whats happening?” as if in a fog of some sort regarding the disillusion of his marriage. However, reports say that Cruise will be seeing his and Katies daughter Suri as soon as this weekend since custody arrangements have been made. Whether or not Katie Holmes will be on hand when Tom arrives in New York City is not known.
Meanwhile, Katie Holmes has left Tom Cruise and Scientology but she has joined a Catholic church in New York City as she starts her new life without the man who wooed her all over the world only five years ago. Stay tuned for more on this complicated matter. In the meantime take a look at L Ron Hubbard’s son speaking out about Scientology.
