The Hollywood Reporter is saying that Tom Cruise is in talks to star in the comic book adaptation, Sleeper.
Written by Ed Brubaker with art by Sean Phillips, “Sleeper,” which ran from 2003-05, centers on an operative whose fusion with an alien artifact makes him impervious to pain and allows him to pass it on to others through skin contact. He is placed undercover in a villainous organization by an intelligence agency and falls for a member of the group, named Miss Misery.
Cruise is a co-owner of United Artists but he’s not tied exclusively to the company. Reports are saying that Cruise’s next project is the Spyglass thriller “Tourist”. Both Sleeper and Tourist are not apart of UA. You can read more about Tom Cruise in Sleeper here.
