Tom Cruise Stars in "Edwin A. Salt"

From worstpreviews, Columbia Pictures is in negotiations with Terry George to direct "Edwin A Salt," a Kurt Wimmer-scripted drama that is being developed as a star vehicle for Tom Cruise.

Columbia's hope is for Cruise to play the title character, a CIA officer who is fingered by a defector as a Russian sleeper spy. Salt must elude capture by his superiors and sets out to reunite with his family and prove his innocence.

Cruise has been intrigued for months by "Edwin A. Salt," and the studio has been engaged in finding the right director. George, who last directed "Hotel Rwanda," just finished "Reservation Road."

Could we maybe find a "star vehicle" for Tom Cruise that's one of those big red rockets that always show up in Roadrunner cartoons? We'd light it, salute Tom, stand back and watch it launch into the sky, marvelling at the big Tom Cruise face in the sky made of fireworks.

Or it could be one of those defective ones that just blows up on the ground. Either way, I'm cool.
