Tom Cruise to play the President in ‘28th Amendment’!?
Moviehole.com have reported that Tom Cruise could be going to the White House after being in talks to star in the upcoming film, ‘28th Amendment‘ directed by Phillip Noyce (‘Clear and Present Danger‘, ‘Patriot Games‘).If the Cruiser signs on the dotted line, he’ll star as none other than head of the US who uncovers a secret committee (led by Denzel Washington) that has had control of his country since WWII. Their main tactic is to knock off anyone who stirs up trouble, and with President Cruise uncovering their secret he finds himself becoming the next target.
The film is written by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (both of whom penned ‘MI: III‘, ‘Transformers‘, ‘Star Trek’) so expect a hectic and gripping thriller on the way.
Whilst seeing Cruise in the oval office but be interesting, what’s really getting our attention is Denzel Washington stepping into what could be another nasty role, ‘Training Day‘ and ‘American Gangster‘ just isn’t enough, we want him ordering henchman to kill the president as well (in the fictional sense of course).

The rumours are true : Tom Cruise is in talks to star in the new Phillip Noyce flick, “28th Amendment”, confirmed today.

It’s a heck of a role for any actress – Samantha Morton played the role alongside Cate Blanchett in the recent Elizabeth: The Golden Age – but this one promises to hew much closer to Mary’s side of the story. Continue Reading…
