Following up on word that Tom Cruise is set to be replaced by Will Smith in Edwin A. Salt, Moviehole reports that the news was false and that Cruise is still attached to the project.
A high-rank production source said that the studio, producers, director and "potential" star Cruise are all waiting on a rewrite of the script from Kurt Wimmer, which is due in the next couple of weeks. Apparently, Will Smith wasn’t even approached for the project.
The film tells the story of a CIA officer who is fingered by a defector as a Russian sleeper spy. The agent in question must elude capture and prove his innocence.
