Either there is more than one Tom Cruise working in Hollywood today, or he just can’t decide on a next project. Cruise stars in the upcoming JACK REACHER, directed by Christopher McQuarrie who directs after a 12 years absence. He has just finished filming OBLIVION and is jumping straight into ALL YOU NEED IS KILL. Both sci-fi films that involve battles with alien races. Now we hear news he is supposedly sniffing around another sci-fi property, OUR NAME IS ADAM, which is written by T.S. Nowlin and produced by Mary Parent. Other than being a sci-fi, not a lot is known about the film, but I would hazard a guess it involves clones.
Cruise already has a large number of potential films that he is rumoured to be a part of. There are anticipated franchise sequels for Paramount, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 5 and TOP GUN 2, a remake of THE MAGNIFICENT 7 and a reboot of VAN HELSING. I admire Cruise’s strong work ethic, and he certainly isn’t slowing down in the output department. I actually enjoyed WAR OF THE WORLDS and MINORITY REPORT was great, so more sci-fi please Mr. Cruise.
JACK REACHER is scheduled for a UK release on 26th December 2012 and stars Tom Cruise, Werner Herzog, Rosamund Pike, David Oyelowo and Robert Duvall.
