Do You Want to See Tom Cruise in More Action Roles?
Today there's news of the spy movie Edwin A. Salt, purportedly starring Tom Cruise, which may get Phillip Noyce (Clear and Present Danger, Patriot Games) on board to direct. In the story, Cruise would play "a CIA officer who's accused by a defector of being a Russian sleeper spy. He must elude capture long enough to clear his name."
It's not necessarily going to be an action film, but it does sound similar to something Jack Ryan-ish or Jason Bourne-y, and I personally don't know if I could take Cruise all that seriously as an action star at this point. Then again, maybe he's still got it. Do you want to see Cruise in any more action movies?
