The new thriller starring Tom Cruise has gone through a couple of working titles. TROUBLE MAN and for a while it was called WICHITA or as I called it.. WICHIWhat!! The other suggestion I had for the film was: ‘The return of the eye-patched wannabee German!’ but my gut says 20th Century Fox wouldn’t take kindly to it.
Variety has spoken that the James Mangold-directed action comedy spy thriller will now be called KNIGHT & DAY.
That WICHITA title sounds pretty good right about now.
KNIGHT & DAY starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, is about a lonely woman whose seemingly harmless blind date suddenly turns her life upside-down when a super spy takes her on a violent worldwide journey to protect a powerful battery that holds the key to an infinite power source. Maggie Grace is also part of the cast.
Paul Dano is going to co-star as a charming but mysterious scientist whose invention is at the center of the chase. (Check out the set videos)
KNIGHT & DAY opens July 2, 2010 release.
