Tom Cruise to Reteam with EDGE OF TOMORROW Director for MENA

Edge of Tomorrow was a huge surprise last year that was met with all kinds of great reviews. It was one of my favorite movies of the year, and now Tom Cruise is looking to re-team with director Doug Liman to take on a new film project called Mena.

The movie is based on a true story that centers Barry Seal, “a TWA pilot recruited by the CIA to provide reconnaissance on the burgeoning communist threat in Central America. Seal finds himself in charge of one of the biggest covert CIA operations in the history of the U.S., one that spawned the birth of the Medellin cartel and eventually almost brought down the Reagan White House through the Iran Contra scandal.”

Cruise was looking to join Michael Bay’s 13 Hours, but passed on it to work with Liman on Mena. The two talents obviously work really well with each other, and I’m sure they’ll bring us yet another great movie. It may not be a sci-fi action film, but the story is definitely intriguing, and it sounds like it will be pretty intense.
