Read our privacy policy According to Variety, Tom Cruise is currently in talks to star in a reboot of Universal's The Mummy. Both Alex Kurtzman, who penned Mission Impossible III, and Chris Morgan, screenwriter on the Fast & Furious franchise, are heading a team tasked with developing a series of interlocking films centered around Universal's esteemed library of movie monsters. Universal are also reportedly chasing after Angelina Jolie; The Hollywood Reporter stating Universal's backing of her latest directorial enterprise, By the Sea, was undertaken in the hope she'd be more open to signing onto The Bride of Frankenstein. Deadline has been informed both by Universal and Cruise's representatives that no deal is in the works; which doesn't yet disclaim rumours, but does suggest nothing concrete will be making an appearance anytime soon.
