It's Sexy Time For Fading Stars

Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, former costars in Vanilla Sky, are teaming up again for Wichita, which is aiming to redefine the romantic comedy/action genre. I'm sure they had to do a hefty rewrite to please Cruise - he can't seem to step away from his Mission Impossible character. Cameron will play a single woman who has terrible luck with men. Tom will play a "handsome stranger" who romances Diaz - but he's actually a secret agent who ends up popping in and out of her life. Wait - I thought this was a movie, not real life! You know Cruise fancies himself a rogue, despite his flaming love for Katie Holmes. The upside of this project, which has the potential to be a hot mess, is the presence of screenwriter Scott Frank. (He penned the excellent Cruise vehicle, Minority Report.) Either way, the film is a welcome relief for Katie. At least someone will be having fun while Tom is at work!

[Vanilla Sky clip is very brief and safe for work - much like Tom!]
