Variety reports that Tom Cruise is close to a deal with 20th Century Fox to star opposite Cameron Diaz in the upcoming action comedy Wichita, directed by James Mangold (Walk the Line, 3:10 to Yuma).
The script was originally penned by Dana Fox (The Wedding Date) and was later revised by Scott Frank (Minority Report). It's currently undergoing a second revision by Mangold and Laeta Kalogridis (Alexander, Pathfinder). Cruise would play an undercover agent who has to spend time in the company of a woman who has issues with men.
