Apparently, it's pretty close to happening. If Mann and Cruise decide they want to work with each other, nobody's going to stand in the way, no matter how weak the log line sounds at first blush.
I'm happy to see Mann's persuing a crime film, that's where he belongs. That's the world he knew in Chicago, that's who he's surrounded himself with in life (cops and thieves), that's just what he does best.
I'm really hoping he wrote the script.
