This sounds like the best idea Tom Cruise has had in a long time. According to The Hollywood Reporter he has targeted Jack Nicholson to co-star in upcoming comedy El Presidente. If he pulls this off we may even forgive him for Jack Reacher.
Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity, Mr. & Mrs. Smith) will helm the flick which will follow a Secret Service agent and his charge, a wholly incompetent, hard drinking, lecherous former president who must both go on the run when the politician's life is threatened.
Cruise is a determined man who has told Nicholson that the movie cannot possibly be made without him and he has already persuaded The Shining star to at least read the script.
Should Nicholson sign up, it will be the second time the pair will share screen time although the last time was all the way back in 1994 in A Few Good Men. El Presidente and this particular double-act sounds like absolute comedy gold to us. Do it, Jack, DO IT!
