We're about to find out. Tom Cruise's first venture after the United Artists rescue will be a movie called Lions for Lambs. "Lions for Lambs is a drama that consists of three interconnected storylines. Cruise will play a congressman who interacts with a journalist (Streep). Redford will be an idealistic professor who attempts to inspire a privileged student in his class. And a third storyline will be about a pair of American soldiers wounded in enemy territory, one of whom is Redford's former student."
Thankfully its not a balls to the wall action flick. I rate Tom Cruise very highly, but moreso in his less wham! Bam! roles. He was fantastic in Magnolia, showing us he is a truly gifted actor, and Vanilla Sky was another tremendous feat. So it pleases me to see that his new production company, and his new found United Artists associations will kick him off with something that he can actually get his teeth into. One to watch out for, Lions for Lambs will no doubt be a formidable movie when reviewers get their grubby little hands on it, though that won't happen until sometime next year. Variety seemed to think it would happen around November 07.
