An interesting Cruise/Bale story out today. The first part of the saga comes from Variety. The trade is reporting that Tom Cruise has dropped out of THE 28TH AMENDMENT, a conspiracy thriller directed by Phillip Noyce (PATRIOT GAMES, THE SAINT) about a president who realizes his entire government is actually run by a shadowy cabal.
Cruise is now heading onto Noyce's EDWIN A. SALT, a story about a CIA agent accused of being a traitor and sent on the run.
But wait -- there's more! Who's set to replace Cruise in THE 28TH AMENDMENT? According to Moviehole, Cruise's replacement may just be none other than Christian Bale. Warner Bros. is courting the Welsh actor but nothing is set yet.
Special agent territory is nothing new for Cruise, but Bale for president? Could be interesting.
