Tom Cruise is planning some new projects and he has script doctors on overtime re-writing the roles he plans on playing. Cinematical reports:
The doctors and projects in question: Scott Frank is changing up Wichita so that Cruise can be an action hero, Richard Curtis made some changes to Lost for Words, and Paul Attanasio is flipping rewriting David Cronenberg’s script for Matarese Circle. Furthermore, those free of script doctors are not immune to Tom’s notes: Billy Ray “continues to hone” Motorcade, while Christopher McQuarrie does the same with The Tourist.
I love a lot of Tom Cruise movies, but his ego is writing checks his body can’t cash. Re-writing Cronenberg? Got to hand it to Cruise, he has some brass balls.
