El Presidente Could Be A Few Good Men Reunion

Whether it's Tom Cruise or Jack Nicholson if you think of one of them, your head is bound to go straight to that military court-room confrontation from A Few Good Men. It's so well known (and parodied) that any possible reunion of the two actors will always bring up a "Can they top that?" question from people.

The Los Angeles Times says that chance may be coming. Warner Brothers is eyeing the two to headline the action-comedy El Presidente, penned by television writer Dan Goor whose filmography mostly includes late night talk shows and more recently the criminally under-watched comedy Parks & Recreation.

The story centers on a Secret Service agent assigned to protect an ex-president. When an assassination attempt is made on the "bumbling and degenerate" former sitting president, the two are forced on the run. Not a practically intriguing concept, but obviously it'll be about execution on the part on the filmmakers and, in this case, what actors are secured for said lead roles.

Cruise is attached for the agent part (obviously) and an offer has been sent to Nicholson for Mr. President. If WB counts their blessings and can get both deals locked, would audiences pay to see a Cruise/Nicholson reunion? I think so.
