Tom Cruise is a 'Monster'!
Yes, Scientology is basically one of the most deplorable organizations around, but reason to call ol? Pete ?Maverick? Mitchell a monster? I think not. Either way that's not I'm referencing in the above headline. According to Variety, Cruise?s United Artists has nabbed the rights to Douglas Preston?s bestselling serial killer thriller The Monster of Florence. Preston and Italo journo Mario Spezi told Corriere della Sera they have inked with UA for a big-screen adaptation of their reconstruction of eight grisly double homicides believed to have been committed singlehandedly between 1968 and 1985, in and around the Italian Renaissance gem. As for old Peter Mitchell, he?s definitely on to produce and possibly on to star. Cruise has stated he?ll make his decision about whether to star or not after reading the screenplay, set to be written by Usual Suspects scribe Chris McQuarrie (also writer-director of the wonderful shoot-?em-up The Way of the Gun). Godspeed, Thomas - err, make that Hubbardspeed.
