Film School Rejects: Tom Cruise Continues Awesome Streak, Finds a ‘Sleeper’

  • Bob Funn · 1 year ago
    I'm a big fan of the comic, while initially I thought Cruise may be a strange choice he's probably at the right age for the role, and the main character is a cocky weary badass, (He did a similar role in Minority Report). However I know I'm in the minority as I don't let his politics or religion affect my view of him as an actor.

    I think it's going to be very different from the comic as it reads more like a hard boiled sam spade gritty undercover story and I can't see them translating that to the big screen, But I'll definitely watch as its a great story. Lots of great characters and it really pokes fun at the superhero genre.

    Sleeper is an "iffy" project at best. I agree with the above post that if Cruise held back his meglomanica he could do the film but only "IF" they follow the comic like they are in Watchmen.

    I'd like to just declare that I've never stopped liking Tom Cruise.
