Moviehole says it has confirmed that Tom Cruise is in talks to star in director Phillip Noyce's thriller 28th Amendment.

Written by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, the story centers on U.S. president Ben Cahill (Cruise) who discovers that a secret committee (run by Denzel Washington) has controlled the U.S. government since WWII.

This hidden power structure assassinates potential troublemakers to serve its own needs, and having made the discovery, the president now finds himself in the firing line.

Nice title. Might be a bit cheesy though.

Umm...X-files anyone? Only their conspiracy dealt with the added element of aliens in the mix.

For anyone who's read Ludlum's "The Matarese Circle" this sound eerily similar - which, strangely, is also being made into a movie starring Washington. Anyone else find that a little repetitive?

... also, wonder if Cruise gets sworn into office on a stack of Hubbard fairy tales.


Too soon?

Kurtzman and Orci?

No thanks. Those two hacks get way to much attention. I'm sorry the writer's strike ended. I was hoping they'd starve and then we'd be rid of them.

Comingsoon.net should have never enabled talkback comments. It's just a list of nasty and negative quips by people under the delusion they're funny.

Hey Craig, a conspiracy-centered movie doesn't automatically mean it's an "X-Files" ripoff despite your weak analogy. You were really reaching. But thanks for your negativity!
