Tom Cruise is apparently supposed to star in a new comedy called Food Fight. The Movie Blog gives us the latest:Cruise is now loosely attached to a film called Food Fight for Working Title. The picture is described as 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.Adam Brooks who wrote and directed the enjoyable film Definitely, Maybe is attached to write the screenplay. Good news already is that Drillbit Taylor helmer Steve Brill was originally in talks to direct, but that is no longer happening. The decision for Cruise to look at comedy has apparently come out of his much talked about performance in Tropic Thunder opening this Wednesday in which Cruise plays a balding, overweight, foul-mouthed studio exec.
You know what, I like Tom Cruise. He's funny, an okay actor, and who cares if he's a Scientologist? Let people pick what they want to believe in. Jerry Maguire was the last real Cruise comedy I can think of off the top of my head, and I love that movie! And Risky Business is awesome too. So another Cruise comedy should be good news for me. But, I'm not gonna lie, this plot sounds horrible. It's gonna take some really really clever writing to make this a good movie. The fact that the director of Drillbit Taylor (horrible movie) is involved doesn't instill confidence in me either. Although if Cruise bases his character on Tom Ramses and starts horribly swearing at a bunch of middle schoolers, that could be pretty funny.
