It is reported that Tom Cruise is in talks to play a fictional US President in a new political thriller called '28th Amendment'.
The film website Moviehole says that the Phillip Noyce-directed film tells the story of US President Ben Cahill, who discovers that a secret committee (headed by Denzel Washington's character) has controlled the US government since World War Two.
The committee assassinates those who pose a threat to it, and now Cahill's life is in danger.
Noyce's credits include 'Catch a Fire', 'The Quiet American', 'Rabbit-Proof Fence', 'Patriot Games' and 'Dead Calm'.
