The ˜Valkyrie' actor started plans to produce the 60s western - which is about two lovable bank robbers - last year and hopes to star in the with his close friend John Travolta.
A source said: "It has been a pet project of his that has been on the back-burner for years. But now he's ready to go, and will most likely happily eschew the enormous salary that he normally commands."
When the movie goes ahead Tom will revive the role of Sundance - previously played by Robert Redford - and John, 55, is expected to play Cassidy.
A friend told Britain's Daily Mirror: "Butch and Sundance is a labour of love for Tom. He was eight years old when he saw the original and it made an impression that has stayed with him all his life. He can't wait to get to work."

Remakes do not do well. And westerns do not do well in general - not in this age.
Another dud for Tom.

Watched the movie again recently for the first time in near on 40 years.
Mostly pretty good, but what an atrocious soundtrack.

If John Travolta goes along with it, they could call the new movie “Butch Cassidy and the Scientology Kid.”
Give it an extra dimension, kind of. When they dive off the cliff, they could be rescued by a flying saucer.

This is almost as bad as trying to remake Gone With the Wind... no way this will not belly flop... Cruise ain't got the talent to pull it off.

John Travolta & Tom Cruise starring in a remake of “Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid?” It sounds like an 1800’s version of “Brokeback Mountain” with Scientology.
Had cancer not killed Paul Newman, this would have.

Tom cruise as Sundance? I don’t think so.
He should just be re-making some Pee-Wee Herman films.
