Tom Cruise has been linked to Universal's new high school cafeteria comedy “
Food Fight“.
Cruise would play a snooty New York chef who, for some odd reason, is forced to cook in a school cafeteria.
Taking a step into comedy sounds like a good step for Cruise. As already said, he's terrific in “
Tropic Thunder“. He's never really made a purely comedic film, only films with comedic elements, and that's not for want of comedy talent.
Veteran scribe
Adam Brooks who wrote and directed the enjoyable film “
Definitely, Maybe” is attached to write the screenplay. A search for a director is under way.
Cruise next stars in historical action film “
Valkyrie“, in which he plays a very serious role: Klaus von Stauffenberg, the Nazi commander who plotted to kill Hitler. I can't wait to see it. From sneak preview reports – it's a must-see movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
