Tom Cruise wants a bigger role in the funnyland of comedy. It’s obvious he can take on a comedy role in a film such as Tropic Thunder, Risky Business and Jerry Maguire. He should do it more often.
The top man on campus is kind of attached to Food Fight, 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.
Food Fight would place Cruise back in the comedic role. He’s proven himself recently with Tropic Thunder. He takes on an overweight, over-the-top studio exec in what advance word has billed as a movie-stealing performance.
However, it’s not a solid deal for the star. Just add it to his several projects in development as an actor and producer.
Cruise next stars in historical action film Valkyrie, in which he plays a very serious role: Klaus von Stauffenberg, the Nazi commander who plotted to kill Hitler. I can’t wait to see it. From sneak preview reports – it’s a must-see movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
