Bryan Singer and Tom Cruise hunt Hitler?

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here... now this one sounds cool as hell.

Bryan Singer is directing a currently Untitled WW2 film from a script by Christopher McQuarrie and Nathan Alexander. This is Singer and McQuarrie's first real team-up since THE USUAL SUSPECTS.

They set up the project at United Artists and decided to go one step further and ask Tom Cruise to not only exec. produce the film, but to star in it as well.

The story is based on actual events, an attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler during the height of WW2.

Sounds like a great action-suspense premise and with the talent already attached, this could be really damn great.

Singer starts shooting this summer, to be wrapped, edited and released before he starts up on the SUPERMAN RETURNS sequel, if that does indeed move forward.
