No word on who will play what roles in the film. I'm guessing one will be the president (the good guy), and the other will be the head of the illuminati (the bad guy).
If this happens, it will be the first collaboration between Tom and Denzel. I'm sure the budget will be astronomical, as will the class of egos on the set :o)

My first thought was..."Can they afford both Denzel AND Tom?"
Their salaries alone will be what...$50 -$60mil? Maybe more if they do the "back-end" deals Tom Cruise is famous(and wealthy) for.
But I will say, if it's done right...I'm there.
I reckon Denzel for president...
@ Nic - that was one of my initial thoughts as well - salaries! The film had better be damn good if it's to make its money back, or even a profit.
@ Wendy - Likely... he's taller and more "presidential" I guess! Maybe we'd see a fight scene between the two of them. I'd put my money on Denzel kicking Tom's ass!
i cant see either actor wanting a big dose of money
rather; make a kick ass film
as for denzel, i would rather see him for president
i luv tom "the bad guy" collateral etc
tom to me comes across more of a bad ass than being presidential
