Cruise and Diaz Thriller Titled Knight & Day

October 13, 2009

Variety reports that the James Mangold-directed action-comedy starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz now has an official title - Knight & Day. The 20th Century Fox film had previously been known as "Wichita" and "Trouble Man."

The movie, currently filming in Boston, also stars Peter Sarsgaard, Viola Davis, Olivier Martinez, Paul Dano, Maggie Grace and Mark Blucas.

Knight & Day centers on a lonely woman (Diaz) whose seemingly harmless blind date suddenly turns her life upside-down when a super spy (Cruise) takes her on a violent worldwide journey to protect a powerful battery that holds the key to an infinite power source.

Mangold wrote the script with Scott Frank. The studio is planning a July 2, 2010 release.

I haven't been able to find anything on IMDB about Olivier Martinez being in this although all of the other casst members are listed. I thought he was in Europe filming Belle du Seigneur. Is this an error?

The film crew transformed the little-used Worcester Airport for the shoot. Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz did a "10 Questions" segment for Jay Leno from there.

'Knight & Day' may be corny but it lends itself better to an action picture than 'Wichita'. Can't think of a more boring place and title.
