Sounds cool and rumour is they are eyeing Tom Cruise and Denzel to star in it.

 

[Matt]

Sounds really cool.

 

[Tempest19]

Sounds like a job for CAPTAIN AMERICA!

 

[Dark Donnie]

I thought the plot sounded really cool, and if there able to get Cruise and Denzel together i'll be there in a heartbeat.

I like the director, as I was a fan of Catch a Fire......could be a good movie, hopefully it gets off the ground.

 

[Starbird]

Sounds pretty interesting. I'm not familiar with the director though.
I'm not a fan of Tom Cruise..at all..so I might not be interested in this.

Moviehole says it has confirmed that Tom Cruise is in talks to star in director Phillip Noyce's thriller 28th Amendment.

Written by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, the story centers on U.S. president Ben Cahill (Cruise) who discovers that a secret committee (run by Denzel Washington) has controlled the U.S. government since WWII.

This hidden power structure assassinates potential troublemakers to serve its own needs, and having made the discovery, the president now finds himself in the firing line.

Excellent.

 

[Commodore Schmidlapp]

Sounds pretty cool, I've always been casually interested in the whole New World Order Illuminati thing.

[Sava]

[Gotham]

Roberto and Alex said they sold this as a spec a long time ago. Glad to know this is finally becoming a film.

Christian Bale as the President?

Yes.

 

[Dark Donnie]

While I like the possible addition of Bale I would have rather seen Cruise and Denzel square off.

I agree and yet if it means we get this and Edwin A Salt that is fine with me as Bale is a great choice.

 

[Cinemaman]

Bale? That's even more intersting!

 

[Lord Blackbolt]

Damn...Bale has like a million movies coming out soon.

 

[Cinemaman]

^^^

Well, he is very talented and he can act whoever or even whatever you want him to, so he really deserves all this.

 

[The Amazing Lee]

I'm intrigued by the premise of this film.

Sounds similar to Metal Gear Solid in ways.

 

[StrainedEyes]

They should make Denzel the President.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I think with Bale as president it could have an interesting dynamic as he'd be portrayed as one of the youngest presidents in US history, perhaps naive and idealistic, going up against Denzel's veteran of the political game.

 

[Sava]

so Tom is out of this?

 

[Gotham]

so Tom is out of this?

I don't think it was ever officially revealed that he was involved.

 

[Sava]

i know but i really wanted to see Denzel vs Tom

 

[Gotham]

i know but i really wanted to see Denzel vs Tom

Me too. But I like Christian Bale. I would have never imagined a film with Washington and Bale in it... and enemies in the film as well.

 

[MaskedManJRK]

President Bale vs. Denzel Washington in New World Order conspiracy?

I'm so there.
