No 'Salt' for Tom Cruise, but How about a 'Food Fight'?
One goes up the other goes down...
Should we look at Tom Cruise's career as being on a downward spiral when scripts are being rewritten to turn a character he was attached to play for a long time are turned into females and on the same day it is announced he will be a school cafeteria chef?
Personally I think it is too soon to make any snap judgments on Cruise's career as it seems like it is a career that would be very tough to handle at the moment, but as Angelina Jolie takes his place in Edwin A. Salt (a title that is sure to change) Cruise is now loosely attached to a film called Food Fight for Working Title. The picture is described as a warmhearted comedy about a snooty New York chef who is forced to cook meals at a school cafeteria, with Cruise playing the role of the chef.
Adam Brooks who wrote and directed the enjoyable film Definitely, Maybe is attached to write the screenplay. Good news already is that Drillbit Taylor helmer Steve Brill was originally in talks to direct, but that is no longer happening.
The decision for Cruise to look at comedy has apparently come out of his much talked about performance in Tropic Thunder opening this Wednesday in which Cruise plays a balding, overweight, foul-mouthed studio exec. I can tell you, the performance is funny as hell and certainly steals the film.
