Tom Cruise teams up w/gay director Bryan Singer...

It's not often that a handsome movie star isn't the best looking man on the set. But that will be the case when Tom Cruise teams with Bryan Singer for an untitled thriller for Cruise's United Artists studio. Singer directed the first two "X-Men" movies and last summer's "Superman Returns." He is openly gay and about as handsome as they come. He is probably a hotter commodity right now in the movie business right now than Cruise himself after Tom's spate of bad publicity and strange behavior.
But I have a feeling that Cruise is poised to be the comeback kid with some good roles that have him being more than a superhero in an action film like "Minority Report" or "MI:3." Cruise is a good actor who has been nominated for three Academy Awards for "Magnolia," "Jerry Maguire" and "Born on the 4th of July." He is currently is co-starring with acting icons Robert Redford and Meryl Streep in his next movie "Lions for Lambs" to be followed by the project with Singer. The untitled movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter, is based on actual events and depicts an attempt to assassinate Adoilf Hitler at the height of World War II. Cruise had not intended to star in the film but during meetings, Singer became intrigued with the idea of Cruise as the film's central character and offered him the role.
Production is set to begin this summer and is not expected to interfere with the "Superman" sequel Singer is preparing.
