what's tasty and new in show business. [beta]
Knight and Day, which was once titled Wichita (and really, neither are very good titles), has a new trailer up on E! The film re-teams Vanilla Sky co-stars Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz as a super-agent and his hapless hostage/cohort, respectively. I haven’t really loved any of James Mangold’s films, though I tend to like ‘em all well enough, so I wasn’t expecting much from the film. But after watching the trailer I have to admit, it actually looks like it could be some fun. The film’s also got a pretty stellar supporting cast, including Maggie Grace, Peter Sarsgaard, Paul Dano, Marc Blucas, and Viola Davis.
It seems pretty savvy to me that Cruise, who a lot of people haven’t been able to take seriously in a long time, has eschewed some of the more traditionally dramatic roles he would’ve played for the fun, off-kilter, kind-of-crazy roles that his public persona makes him perfect for nowadays. I’ve always loved him as an actor, and I’m glad to see him embracing this turn in his career. Humor can earn a lot of forgiveness, and Cruise definitely seems like he’s on the right path for a comeback. Well, I’m pullin’ for the guy, anyway.
