    Tom Cruise and Doug Liman Re-Teaming for 'Luna Park'

    Keeping in line with Tom Cruise's MO nowadays, the actor is looking to stay with what works.

    Just as he's been working fluently with Christopher McQuarrie (wrote and directed Jack Reacher, co-wrote Edge of Tomorrow, co-wrote and directed Mission: Impossible - Rouge Nation), he's sticking with Doug Liman as well, who directed Edge of Tomorrow and the recently completed cartel thriller Mena, due out in 2017.

    The new project is Luna Park, a long in-development sci-fi film for Liman, whose been attached for years.

    It follows a group of former renegade space employees who travel the world stealing equipment to get back to the moon, where they must acquire a vital energy source.

    Yeah, doesn't sound the most intriguing, but did you see Edge of Tomorrow? I trust they know what they're doing.

    Luna Park was actually greenlit by Paramount back in 2011 but the studio pulled the plug when their financier, Skydance Productions, backed out due to a ballooning budget. However, given Cruise's great relationship with both Paramount and Skydance Productions, it might be a safe bet to assume they'll end up back together.

    For Cruise though, the guy is like a machine lately, showing no signs of slowing down and hitting practically everything out of the park, even at 53!

    Looking forward to this project.
