Cruise plot to slay Hitler
TOM Cruise is to star in a World War II thriller about a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, reports said today.
The 44-year-old Mission Impossible star will take a central role of the untitled film, which will be directed by Bryan Singer of The Usual Suspects and Superman Returns fame, reports said.
Movie industry press said the film would be the second made by United Artists since Cruise took over the company last year following his acrimonious split with Paramount.
The movie is based on a real-life plot hatched by German generals to kill Hitler during World War II.
Cruise, regarded as one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood with $US2.7 billion ($A3.3 billion) in receipts, is currently working on political drama Lions for Lambs, with Robert Redford and Meryl Streep.
