Tom Cruise seeks next movie projects amid uncertain career

Tom Cruise is narrowing the prospects for his next film, but no matter which he chooses, he has single-handedly propped up the script doctoring biz: Studios have spent millions of dollars in rewrite fees to custom-tailor projects for the star. The frontrunners for his next film appear to be the DreamWorks drama “Motorcade,” to be directed by Len Wiseman, followed by Spyglass remake “The Tourist” (with Charlize Theron), to be helmed by Bharat Nalluri, and Fox action comedy “Wichita” (with Cameron Diaz), which James Mangold will direct. Also still in the mix is MGM’s “The Matarese Circle,” which potentially matches Cruise with Denzel Washington and helmer David Cronenberg. – from Variety

But there is method to all the money-spending, as Cruise has vetoed political thriller “The 28th Amendment” (which would have cast him as the President), and the romantic comedy “Lost for Words.” “28th Amendment” even received an extra polish from “Transformers” writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, but to no avail. – from MTV
