DENZEL WASHINGTON AND TOM CRUISE TEAM

Tom Cruise

Denzel Washington and Tom Cruise are joining together to star in a new thriller. The expected hit movie was written by the brains behind the Bourne trilogy. The Hollywood stars will play rival spies who team up to take on an evil organization in The Matarese Circle, which is based on author Robert Ludlum’s book of the same name. David Cronenberg will direct the film. MGM studio bosses are eyeing the movie as a potential franchise for Cruise and Washington, and have already bought the rights to Ludlum’s follow up novel The Matarese Countdown. Ludlum is most famous for writing the books behind Matt Damon-starring movies The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum.
