Tom Cruise Starting Food Fight

With all this Tropic Thunder buzz, Tom Cruise is dabbling into a little more comedy, loosely attached to Food Fight, which is a warmhearted comedy about a snooty New York chef who is forced to cook meals at a school cafeteria. Cruise is eyeing the the role of the chef.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Veteran scribe Adam Brooks is attached to write the screenplay. A search for a director is under way.

Food Fight would mark a departure for Cruise, who has made few comedies since his breakout role in 1983's Risky Business: His last such lead role was in 1996's dramedy Jerry Maguire.

No production date has been set.

  22. Rama's SCREEN

    TROPIC THUNDER was a funny movie. And Tom Cruise's appearance in that movie was hilarious.

    This FOOD FIGHT stuff... sounds kinda dumb.

    ummmm...cruise is starting to dig himself a hole. By the time this movie's realeased, he'll be at the center of the earth playing baseball with the mole people telling them how they're products of the evil space tyrant xenu. He's a great actor...but a chef? C'mon tom, get back to the surface

    Ha Ha.. Tom is "forced" to "eye" these roles because he is an idiot. If Tom Cruise falls in the woods and no one is around to see it... Will anyone care?
