• Paul Dano Joins Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz in Action-Comedy

  Variety reports that Paul Dano has signed on to star with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz in the upcoming action-comedy from director James Mangold (3:10 to Yuma, Walk the Line). You might remember Dano from his memorable performances as the preacher rival of Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood and as the mute, Nietzsche-reading teen in Little Miss Sunshine.

  The Mangold movie, formerly titled Wichita and yet to be renamed, involves a partnership between Cruise and Diaz, who play a federal agent and a perky Midwesterner, respectively. According to IMDb's plot description, they embark on "a whirlwind of globe-hopping adventure and world-changing secrets." One of these adventures involves the pursuit of Dano's character, an enigmatic inventor-scientist.

  Shooting begins in Boston next month, and the movie is scheduled for a July 2, 2010 release.

  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.

• Horror Wunderkind In The Running To Direct Eclipse

  Another name has emerged as a possible Eclipse director. Sadly, but not surprisingly, it's another dude. Juan Antonio Bayona is reportedly, along with Drew Barrymore, Paul Weitz, and James Mangold, in the running to helm Eclipse.

  Spaniard Bayona is a protege of Guillermo del Toro and known for his horror work. He received critical acclaim for his Gothic Spanish-language flick The Orphanage, and he's set to make his English-language debut directing the thriller Hater for Universal. With him behind the lens, Eclipse would probably be more of a genre flick than its Twilight predecessors.
