Tom Cruise is loosely attached to Food Fight, a warmhearted comedy about a snooty New York chef who is forced to cook meals at a school cafeteria, says The Hollywood Reporter. Cruise would play the role of the chef in the project at Universal-based Working Title.

Veteran screenwriter Adam Brooks (Definitely, Maybe) is attached to write the screenplay. Drillbit Taylor helmer Steven Brill had been in talks to direct Food Fight, but they came to naught; a search for a new director is under way.

"Food Fight" would mark a departure for Cruise, who has made few comedies since his breakout role in 1983's "Risky business": His last such lead role was in 1996's dramedy "Jerry Maguire."

In Tropic Thunder, Cruise plays an overweight, over-the-top studio executive. He has had other bit comedy parts over the years in films like Austin Powers in Goldmember.
 
Not really sure what to make of this.....maybe he should do another supporting role before headlining another project....
 
I've heard some amazing things about his role in Tropic Thunder, and it would interesting at the very least to see how he handles this role.
 
I didn't even know he was in Tropic Thunder. Now I definitely have to see it. I'm a fan of Cruise... I think that he's a really talented guy who has unfortunately been made into a pariah by the media because they don't report on real news anymore. "38 people were killed today in Iraq, but more importantly, TOM CRUISE WAS SPOTTED AT HOME DEPOT!!! COULD HE POSSIBLY BE BUYING TOOLS TO BUILD A DUNGEON FOR KATIE AND SURI?!!! AN INSIDE SOURCE TELLS US HE KEEPS THEM CHAINED UP AND ONLY LETS THEM OUT TWICE A DAY TO GO TO THE BATHROOM!!!!"
 
I look forward to the idea of Tom Cruise doing more comedy. He's on my list of "Actors Who Need To Lighten The F*** Up!", along with Sean Penn and Russell Crowe.
 
I guess Tom has been rummaging through Luke Wilson's "To do" list.
 
Sounds cute and totally unlike Cruise.
