"Phillip Noyce is negotiating to direct Edwin A. Salt, the Kurt Wimmer-scripted drama that Columbia Pictures has been developing as a star vehicle for Tom Cruise, reports Variety.

Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Sunil Perkash are producing.

The Australian helmer and Cruise had been mentioned as possible participants in the Warner Bros. drama The 28th Amendment, but recently their focus shifted to "Salt." The drama casts Cruise as a CIA officer who's accused by a defector of being a Russian sleeper spy. He must elude capture long enough to clear his name."

Well, sounds like Minority Report without the sci-fi. Should be a decent success for Cruise.

Hope it bombs so Cruise will be forced to just go away into a Scientology cult center or something.

The guy's whacked and a jerk to boot. Just watch the Matt Lauer interview for proof.

Explain.

you're not worth explaining.

You have no worth.
