Fox News' Roger Friedman is reporting that Tom Cruise is set to be replaced by Will Smith in the Phillip Noyce drama, Edwin A. Salt. The problem is, it's not true.

Moviehole reports: "We can confirm that this isn't true - none of it. High-ranking contacts within the production tell us - and we quote - "The studio, producers, director and potential star (Cruise) are all waiting on a rewrite of the script from Kurt Wimmer, which is due in a few weeks. Will Smith has not been approached to star. Cruise is the only actor who has been approached."

The Columbia Pictures release is about a CIA officer who is fingered by a defector as a Russian sleeper spy. Salt must elude capture by his superiors and sets out to reunite with his family and prove his innocence.

OK, so what we're saying is that TC and Woll Smoth aren't interchangeable after all? Surely you jest!

Cruise has jumped the shark. I don't want to see him in anything.

The plot of this movie sounds so tired and old. I doubt there could be anything new in a story like this other than the Cruise character running around and some few exploding cars and buildings. The movie sounds like crap.

Stick A Fork In Him he is done. Get back in your space ship Tom you killed your career.
Not even MI4 can resurrect your career. This Salt movie sounds like crap. Might be all you can do now.
Oh and thanks for not letting Katie do The Dark Knight.
It's only the best superhero action movie ever...
